CONTROLS SENSOR OPERATIONS The Sensor Cook categories are designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food. USING SENSOR SETTINGS 1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using Sensor Cook. 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. 4. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook. 5. Do not open the oven door or press STOP/CLEAR pad until cooking time appears on the display window. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message "Er01" will appear. To continue cooking, press the STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking time will appear. The door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired. 6. Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers. They will prevent steam from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually causing the food to overcook. 7. Check food for temperature or doneness after cooking. If food is not completely cooked, enter additional cooking time manually. Do not use one of the Sensor Cook categories twice in succession on the same food portion. This may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. COVERING FOODS Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the Sensor Cook Chart for these foods. 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 Sensor is semi-conductor device that detects the vapor emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking time and power level for various food and quantities and you don't need to enter the weight or quantity of the food. 1. Press POTATO pad. 2. Press START pad. When you press POTATO pad, "SCPO" is displayed. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking time will appear. 1. Press FROZEN ENTREE pad. 2. Press START pad. When you press FROZEN ENTREE pad, "SCFE" is displayed. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking time will appear. 1. Press FROZEN VEGETABLES pad. 2. Press START pad. When you press FROZEN VEGETABLES pad, "SCFV" is displayed. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking time will appear. 1. Press REHEAT pad. 2. Press START pad. When you press REHEAT pad, "SrH" is displayed. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking time will appear. 17 E
