SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the SENSOR function, food is cooked without figuring
time, power level or quantity. When the oven senses enough
steam from the food, it relays the information to its
microprocessor which will calculate the remaining cooking
time and power level needed for best results. When the food
is cooked, water vapor is developed. the sensor "senses"
the vapor and its resistance increase gradually. When the
resistance reaches the value set according to the menu,
supplementary cooking is started.
The time of supplementary cooking is determined by experi-
ment with each food category and inputted into the LSI. An
example of how sensor works: (Potatoes)
1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very
slowly.
2.Heat Potatoes. Moisture and humidity is emitted very
rapidly. You can smell the aroma as it cooks.
3.Sensor detects moisture and humidity and calculates
cooking time and variable power.
Cooking Sequence.
1. Touch one of the SENSOR pads.
NOTE: The oven should not be operated on sensor
immediatly after plugging in the unit. Wait two
minutes before cooking on SENSOR.
2. The coil of shut-off relay (RY-1) is energized, the
turntable motor are turned on, but the power transformer
is not turned on.
3. After about 16 seconds, the cook relay (RY-2) is
energized. The power transformer is turned on,
microwave energy is produced and first stage is started.
The 16 seconds is the cooling time required to remove
any vapor from the oven cavity and sensor.
NOTE: During this first stage, do not open the door or touch
STOP/CLEAR pad.
4. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, the display switches over to the remaining cooking
time and the timer counts down to zero.
At this time, the door may be opened to stir, turn or
season food.
5. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds.
The shut-off relay and cook relay are de-energized and
the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off.
6. Opening the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad,
the time of the day will reappear on the display and the
oven will revert to an OFF condition. When the timer
reaches zero, an audible signal sounds.
