STEAM/SIMMER (sensor):

Use microwave-safe container with a loose-fitting lid. Sensor will detect when liquid begins to boil, then begin the

Steam or Simmer countdown.

NOTE:

Do not remove the lid while the container is in the microwave oven, as a rush of steam would disrupt the sensor readings.

Manual Simmer

Rice: Add liquid and food to microwave-safe container. Cover with

loose-fitting lid. Enter simmer time. Simmer time will begin counting

down after the sensor detects steam from boiling liquid.

Pasta: Add liquid to microwave-safe container. Cover with loose-

fitting lid. Enter simmer time of 1 second. Simmer time will begin

counting down after the sensor detects steam from boiling liquid.

When the microwave oven stops, remove container, remove the lid,

and add the pasta. Re-cover and return the container to the

microwave oven. Clear the display using the Cancel control, then

reprogram the simmer function, and enter the new simmer time (ex.:

dry spaghetti - 11-12 min).
