SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate the sensor category during the initial sensing period. The oven automatically determines the required cooking time for each food item.

When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results when cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations:

1. Food cooked with the Sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.

2. The glass tray and the outside of the container should be dry to assure best cooking results.

3. Foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.

4. Do not open the door or press STOP/Clear during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help to assure good Sensor cooking results.

1. Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

3. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

SENSOR POPCORN

Sensor Popcorn lets you pop 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 ounce bags of commercially packaged microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time. If you are using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer's instructions.

Example: To pop popcorn

1. Press Popcorn.

2. Press START/Enter. When the cook time is over, four beeps will sound and End will display.

SENSOR REHEAT

Reheat lets you heat foods without needing to program times and Power Levels. Reheat has preset Power Levels for 6 categories. See the details in the cooking guide table.

Example: To reheat a Casserole

1. Press Reheat.

2. Press 3 to choose Casserole.

3. Press START/Enter.

You can also press Reheat repeatedly to choose a food category (for example,press twice for soup). See Cooking Guide for Sensor Reheat table below for info. When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and End will display.

SENSOR COOK

Using Cook lets you heat common microwave prepared foods without needing to program times and Cook Powers. Sensor Cook has preset Power Levels for 13 food categories. See the details in the cooking guide table.

Example: To cook Rice

1. Press Cook.

2. Press 6 to choose Rice.

3. Press START/Enter.

You can also press Cook re food category (for example, See Cooking Guide for Sen When the cook time is over, beeps and End will display.

3. Press START/Enter.

MELT TABLE

DEFROST WEIGHT / TIME

Five defrost choices are preset in the oven. The Defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets the defrosting times for each food item according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, the Defrost feature includes a built-in tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost cycle. Four different defrosting presets are provided, plus the option to set your own defrost time.

1. Meat

2. Poultry

3. Fish

4. Bread

5. Set Time

Press Defrost Weight/Time multiple times to select the category you want. Then enter weight. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry, and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs. The available weight range for Bread is 0.1 to 1.0 lb.

Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs. of meat.

1.Press Defrost Weight/Time once to choose the Meat category.

2. Enter the weight.

3. Press START/Enter.

NOTE: After you press START/Enter, the display counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep once during the defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed.

Remove any portions that have thawed, then return the frozen portions to the oven and press START/Enter to resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not stop following the beep unless the door is opened.

For best results:

  • Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
  • Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
  • Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or a on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
  • Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.

QUICK DEFROST

This is a quick defrost feature that allows you to choose a preset 2 minute defrost cycle at the touch of a button.

Example: To defrost for 2 minutes

1. Press

NOTE: The oven will start automatically.

2. Halfway through the cycle, the oven will beep. Open the door, turn the meat over, Close the door, and press START/Enter to resume defrosting until the cycle ends.

When the defrost time is over, four beeps will sound and End will display.

DEFROSTING TIPS

  • When using Defrost Weight/Time, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).
  • Before starting, make sure you have removed any of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.
  • Open containers such as cartons before they are placed in the oven.
  • Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
  • If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food in a suitable container.
  • Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.
  • Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
  • Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting.
  • The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.
  • The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.
  • As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more easily.
  • Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.
  • For better results, let food stand after defrosting. (For more information on standing time, see the “Microwave Cooking Tips” section.)
  • Turn food over during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as rquired.

METAL RACK

The metal rack gives you extra space when cooking in more than one container at the same time.

To use the rack:

1. Place the rack securely in the four plastic supports.

  • The rack MUST NOT touch the metal walls or back of the microwave oven.

2. Place equal amounts of food both ABOVE AND BELOW the rack.

  • The amount of food must be approximately the same to balance out the cooking energy.

MAINTENANCE

CARE AND CLEANING

For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and the oven front frame free of food or grease build-up.

Never use abrasive powder or pads. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out, including the hood bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.

Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.

METAL RACK

Wash the metal rack with a mild soap and a soft or nylon scrub brush.Dry completely.

COOKING UTENSILS

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE

USE

DO NOT USE

OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high intensity heat):

Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim.

METAL UTENSILS:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays.Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.

CHINA:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

METAL DECORATION:

Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.

PLASTIC:

Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides.

Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food.

Use plastic dishes, cups, semirigid freezer containers and plastic bags only for short cooking time. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

ALUMINUM FOIL:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls and door of the oven.

WOOD:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.

TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.

PAPER:

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturer's label for use in the microwave oven.

BROWN PAPER:

Avoid using brown paper bags.

They absorb too much heat and could burn.

FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven.

METAL TWIST TIES:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.

They become hot and could cause a fire.

Do not use recycled paper products in the microwave oven. They sometimes contain impurities that cause sparks to occur.

FAQS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I may reheat or cook on two levels at a time?

A. Only use the rack that is supplied with your rmicrowave oven. Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may damage your oven.

Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?

A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.

Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?

A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.

Q. What are the humming noises that I hear when my microwave oven is operating?

A. You hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on and off.

Q. Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen.

A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.

Q. What does “standing time” mean?

A. ’’Standing time” means that food should be taken out of the oven and covered for additional time after cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish, saves energy and frees the oven for other purposes.

Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?

A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer's guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn button.

Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a “pop” every one or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer's directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.

Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the top vent.
