USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate sensor category during the initial sensing period. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results for cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations: 1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature. 2. The glass tray and the outside of the container should be dry to assure best cooking results. 3. Foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid. 4. Do not open the door or touch STOP/CLEAR during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food. SENSOR COOKING GUIDE Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results. 1. Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. 2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook. 3. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results. 4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor. SENSOR POPCORN SENSOR POPCORN lets you pop 3.0 and 3.5 ounce bags of commercially packaged microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time. If you are using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer's instructions. Example: To pop popcorn. 1. Touch POPCORN. When the cook time is over, four beeps will sound and COOK END will display. • Recommended amounts: 3.0-3.5 ozs. • To cook a snack size bag (1.75 oz.) place the bag in the oven. Set the oven to cook for 2 minutes at full power. LISTEN for the popping to slow down. When the popping slows to one pop per second, stop the oven. Make a note of how much time it took and use that setting in the future. DO NOT leave microwave oven unattended while popping corn. When popping commercially packaged popcorn, remove the rack from the oven. Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the rack. 14
