MANUAL OPERATION
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 level for various foods and
quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using Sensor Settings.
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. For example, popcorn would be at
room temperature.
4. Any Sensor Settings selection can be pro-
grammed with More or Less Time Adjustment.
See page 28.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the
chart should be cooked following the guidelines
in any microwave cookbook.
6.
During the first part of SENSOR MODES, food
name will appear on the display. Do not open the
oven door or touch the STOP/clear pad during
this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor
will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error mes-
sage will appear. To continue cooking, touch the
STOP/clear pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, remainder of cooking time will appear.
Door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you
may stir or season food, as desired.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly
when popping popcorn, the oven will turn off,
and the correct time of day will be displayed. If
the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
cooking other foods, ERROR will be displayed,
and the oven will turn off.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If
additional time is needed, continue to cook
manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch user pref
pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods cook better when covered. Use the
cover recommended in the food charts.
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.

Manual Defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
the Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in
the Amount column on the Defrost chart (see page
26), you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or
previously cooked, by using Power Level for 30%
Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under To
set power level. Estimate defrosting time and touch
power level pad eight times for 30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or
separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is
not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting
time, program the oven in 1 minute increments at
power level 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer,
defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic
in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.
