Operating Instructions

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate the sensing period by scrolling the name of the food. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The oven will beep and either turn off or the display will show the remaining heating time.

For best results for cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations:

1.Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.

2.Glass turntable and outside of container should be dry to assure best cooking results.

3.Most foods should be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid. See sensor tables on page 14.

4.Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR pad during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps once and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window or the oven will turn off. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.

IMPORTANT:

When using sensor cook, the oven must cool for 5 minutes between uses or food will not cook properly.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results.

1.Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

2.Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

3.Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

4.Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
