Sensor Cooking
The sensor in your microwave oven is a semi-conductor
device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity)
emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking
times and power levels for various foods and quantities.
USING SENSOR SETTINGS
•
After the microwave oven is plugged in, wait two
minutes before using sensor cooking.
•
Make 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.
•
The sensor works with foods at normal storage temper-
atures (for example, popcorn at room temperature).
•
Any sensor selection can be programmed with more or
less time adjustment. Refer to page 14.
•
During the first part of sensor cooking, the food name
will appear on the display. Do not open the drawer or
touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cooking
cycle, or the measurement of vapor will be interrupted.
If this occurs, an error message will appear in the
display. To continue cooking, touch STOP/CLEAR and
cook manually.
•
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, the remainder of cooking time will appear in the
display. The drawer may be opened. At this time, you
may stir or season food, as desired.
•
If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the time of
day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect
vapor properly when cooking other foods, an error
message will appear and the oven will turn off.
•
Check food temperature after cooking. If additional
time is needed, continue to cook manually.
•
Each food has a cooking hint. Touch SETUP/HELP
when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
•
More or less food than the quantity listed in the sensor
cooking guide on the following pages, should be
cooked according to guidelines in any microwave
cookbook.
COVERING FOODS
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the sensor cooking guide on the follow-
ing pages, for these foods. Be careful when removing any
covering, to allow steam to escape away from you.

to remain uncovered to allow steam to
escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
