Cooking Instructions
Auto Sensor Cook
The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detecting the amount of
moistures generated from the food while cooking.
•
When cooking food, many kinds of moistures are generated. The Auto Sensor
determines the proper time and power level by detecting these moistures from the
food, eliminating the need to set the cooking time and power level.
•
When you cover a container with its lid or plastic wrap during Sensor Cooking, the
Auto Sensor will detect the moistures generated after the container has been
saturated with steam.
•
Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin its count down.
This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the food for even cooking if it is
necessary.
•
Before auto sensor cooking food may be seasoned with herbs, spices or browning
sauces. A word of caution though, salt or sugar may cause burn spots on food so
these ingredients should be added after cooking.
•
The More/Less function pad is used to increase or decrease cooking time. You
should use this function to adjust the degree of cooking to suit your personal taste.
Utensils & Cover For Sensor Cooking
•
To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for selecting
appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book.
•
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids or with
plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to
escape at the proper rate.
•
Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the utensil does not
have its own lid, use plastic wrap.
•
Fill containers at least half full.
•
Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward the end of
the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the display.
Important
•
It its not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a continuous cooking
operation, i.e. one cooking operation immediately after another.
•
Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow and to
ensure the sensor will operate accurately.
•
To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto sensor when the room ambient
temperature is too high or too low.
•
Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Moisture resulting from this
detergent may affect the sensor.
•
Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting appliances, since this
will interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor.
•
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp cloth.
•
This oven is designed for household use only.
