Sensor Settings
The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor
(moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats.
The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power levels for
various foods and quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After the appliance is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using any sensor setting so it has time to calibrate
correctly.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the microwave cavity are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The sensor works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.
4. Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or
Less Time Adjustment. See page 16.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts
should be cooked following the guidelines in any
microwave cookbook.
6. During the first part of sensor use, the food name will
appear on the display. Do not open the drawer or
touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cycle. The
measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs,
an error message will appear. If sensor cooking is
interrupted during this stage it is recommend to touch
the STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,
the remainder of cooking/reheating time will appear. The
drawer may be opened once the remaining time appears
on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food,
as desired.
7. Except for Popcorn, if the sensor does not detect vapor
properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be
displayed, and the microwave will turn off.
8. Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time
is needed, continue to cook manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the TIMER/SETTINGS
pad when the HELP indicator is illuminated in the display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods cook better when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the charts for these foods. See page
10-11. You may refer to the hints by touching the TIMER/
SETTINGS pad.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately
1
/2 inch (1.25 cm) 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.
