Guidelines for Use
The Auto Sensor Programs are designed to take the guesswork out of cooking or reheating
your food. They must ONLY be used for the foods described.
1. Only cook foods within the weight ranges described (see table below).
2. Only use the accessories as indicated on pages 44-47.
3. It is essential when using the Auto Sensor Programs, which use microwave only, to cover
the food with pierced cling film or a lid that is designed to fit the dish.
4. DO NOT cover food on Sensor Combi programs, as they use a Combination of
MICROWAVE and CONVECTION oven and/or GRILL and it will prevent the food
browning. The heat of the grill will also melt any plastic covering.
5. Always choose a container size that is suitable for the quantity of food i.e. do not allow
too large a headspace or the food may not be cooked correctly.
6. Most foods benefit from a STANDING time after cooking on an Auto Program, to allow
heat to continue conducting to the centre.
7. To allow for some variations that occur in food, check that food is thoroughly cooked and
piping hot before serving.
