Operation
Sensor Options
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.
USING SENSOR SETTINGS:
1. After microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes
before using SENSOR OPTIONS.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The microwave oven works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.
4. Any SENSOR OPTIONS selection can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 27.
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 first part of SENSOR OPTIONS, the food
name will appear on the display. Do not open the
microwave 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 microwave 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
microwave 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 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 OPTIONS chart for these
foods.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately ½ 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/Touch On. You don’t need to calculate
cooking time or power level.
•
Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.
1. Touch Reheat pad.
2. Touch Start/Touch On pad.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,
the remainder of cooking time will appear.
Note:
The Fresh Vegetables and Poultry settings have 2 choices.
Follow directions in the Interactive Display to choose
desired option.
