Sensor Cooking
The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from food as it heats. The
sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities.
It takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture
with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the microwave oven
door or touch Stop/Clear during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this
occurs, an error message will appear and sensor cooking will be interrupted. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/
Clear pad and select cooking time and power. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of
cooking time will appear on display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
4. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable power and time.
5. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly,
ERROR
will be displayed, and the microwave oven will turn off.
6. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch Help pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
7. At the end of any cycle, open the door or touch Stop/Clear pad. The time of day will reappear on the display.
Selecting Foods:
1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, food for dinner plate reheat would be at
refrigerator temperature and popcorn at room temperature.
2. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked by time and variable power.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the chart for these foods.
1. Casserole lid
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately ½ inch
to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
3. Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excess fat and moisture when cooking bacon and potatoes. Line the turn-
table when baking potatoes.
4. 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.
Reheat
Turntable on:
You can reheat many foods by touching just one pad. You don’t need to calculate reheating time or power level. To re-
heat food with turntable on, simply touch the Reheat pad.
•Heatpreparedchili.
Touch Reheat pad.
When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of reheating time will appear. After cooking, follow the
instructions on the display.
Turntable off:
You may reheat using a 11"x 8"x 2" or 13"x 9"x 2" casserole with the turntable off. First touch Turntable On/Off and note
indicator. Then touch Reheat. The display will indicate turntable off and microwave oven will start automatically. After
cooking, follow the instructions on the display.
