Sensor modes
The sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects
the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the
food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cook ing
times a nd power le vel for va rious fo ods and
quantities.

Using Sensor Modes:

1. After oven is plu gged in, wait 2 minutes before
using Sensor Modes.
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
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at
room temperature.
4. Any Sen sor Mo des sel ecti on can be pr o-
grammed with More or less t ime adjust ment.
