SENSOR COOKING Sensor cooking has an electronic controlled sensor 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 automatically. Using Sensor Settings: 1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using Sensor Settings. 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 Settings selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 21. 5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook. 6.

The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, press the STOP clear 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 in the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired. 7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the correct time of day will be displayed.
