22 Setting Microwave Controls Sensor Modes 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 Modes: 1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using Sensor Modes. 2. Be 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. 3. The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature. 4. Any Sensor Modes selection can be programmed with More or less time adjustment. 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 any sensor cooking or reheating, SENSING will appear on the display. Do not open the oven door during this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, press the CANCEL pad and cook manually. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired. 7. Except for popcorn, if the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be displayed. 8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually. 9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch user pref pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display. Covering Foods: Some foods cook better when covered. Use the cover recommended in the food charts. 1. Casserole lid. 2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 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. Sensor Cook You can cook many foods by touching the sensor cook pad and the food number. You don't need to calculate cooking time or power level. • Suppose you want to cook baked potato. Step Example Press 1. Press MICRO OVEN 2. Press sensor cook 3. Press 2 for baked potato 4. Press START NOTES 1. The final result will vary according to the food condition (e.g. initial temperature, shape, quality). Check food for temperature after heating. If additional time is needed, continue to heat manually. 2. Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food. 3. Sensor Cook can be programmed with More or less time adjustment.
