SENSOR
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using SENSOR.
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 SENSOR selection can be programmed with
More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the
chart should be cooked following the guidelines
in any microwave cookbook.
6. During the fi rst part of SENSOR, the food name
will appear on the display. Do not open the oven
door or touch
STOP/CLEAR during this part of
the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor
will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message
will appear. To continue cooking, touch the
STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, remainder of cooking time will appear.
The door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may
stir or season food, as desired.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly
when popping 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. Touch HELP MENU
pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the SENSOR chart for these foods.
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.
EXAMPLE:
You can cook many foods by simply selecting the
food and touching
START . You don’t need to calculate
cooking time or power level.

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 cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities.
