The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power levels for various foods and quantities. USING SENSOR SETTINGS: 1. After the Microwave In-A-Drawer™ is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using any sensor setting. 2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the Microwave In-A-Drawer™ are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel. 3. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature. 4. Any sensor selection can be programmed with more or less food than the quantity listed in the charts and should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook. 5. During the first part of sensor use, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the Microwave In-A-Drawer™ or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR key and cook manually. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking/reheating time will appear. The Microwave In-A-Drawer™ may be opened when the remaining time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired. 6. Except for Popcorn, if the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be displayed, and the microwave will turn off. 7. Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually. 8. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the SET UP/ HELP key when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
