SENSOR COOKING

Sensor cooking has an electronic controlled sensor that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities automatically.

Using Sensor Settings:

1.After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using Sensor Settings.

2.Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3.The oven works with foods at normal storage tem- perature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.

4.Any Sensor Settings selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 21.

5.More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any micro- wave cookbook.

6.During the first part of SENSOR COOKING, food name will appear in the display. Do not open the oven door or press the STOP clear pad during this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, press the STOP clear pad and cook manually.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears in the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

7.If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when pop- ping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.

8.Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

9.Each food has a cooking hint. Press the user pref pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

Covering Foods:

Some foods cook better when covered. Use the cover recommended in the food charts.

1.Casserole lid.

2.Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.

3.Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.

SENSOR COOKING applies to the following selections: Sensor Cook, Snack Menu, Popcorn, Vegetables, Baked Potato, Sensor Reheat.
