KitchenAid KBMS1454SBL manual OneTouchSensorCooking, To Use Baked Potato and Meal Reheat

SensorCooking

A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from the food as it heats, and adjusts the cook time accordingly.

Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwave- safe containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are recommended. The loose-fitting lid allows enough steam to escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods with plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to allow the steam to escape.

NOTES:

■The microwave oven should be plugged in for at least 3 minutes.

■The microwave oven cavity and the exterior of the cooking container should be dry.

■The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).

■If the door is opened during a sensor cycle, sensing will stop and the program will be canceled.

OneTouchSensorCooking

A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from the food and automatically sets a cooking time based on the selected pad.

NOTE: During Popcorn function, as with all microwave cooking functions, the microwave oven should be attended at all times. Listen for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then stop the cycle.

Use the following chart as a guide for the ONE TOUCH pads.

*To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use regular paper bags or glassware. For best cooking results, do not try to pop unpopped kernels. Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results. Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content. For bag sizes not listed in this section, follow directions on package. If using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer’s instructions.
