Setting Microwave Controls 21 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/off 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 help guide 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. Quick Sensor You can cook or reheat many foods by touching a Quick Sensor pad (fresh veggies, frozen veggies, popcorn, baked potato and sensor reheat). You don't need to calculate cooking time or power level. • Suppose you want to pop a 3.5 oz. bag of popcorn. Example Step Press Use the popcorn/bacon tray provided with your unit to cook popcorn quickly and efficiently. 1. Press MICRO OVEN. 2. Press popcorn. 3. Press 2 for regular size. 4. Press START Do not place microwave popcorn directly on the metal turntable as metal on metal may produce sparking. Always use the popcorn/bacon tray provided with the unit to cook popcorn. NOTES 1. Quick Sensor can be programmed with More or less time adjustment. 2. 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.
