Auto Cook
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 MODES:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using sensor modes.
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 Modes selection can be programmed
with More or less time adjustment. See page 34.
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 any sensor cooking or
reheating, food name will appear on the display.
Do not open the oven door 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. 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. Except for popcorn, if the sensor does not
detect vapor properly when cooking other foods,
ERROR will be displayed.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If addi-
tional 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.

Regular 3.0 - 3.5 oz bag
Snack 1.5 - 1.75 oz bag
Use only popcorn packaged for the microwave.
Try several brands to decide which you like. Do not
try to pop unpopped kernels. This sensor works
well with most brands of microwave popcorn. You
may wish to try several and choose your favorite.
Pop only one bag at a time. Unfold the bag and
place in oven according to directions.
WARNING
Do not place microwave popcorn directly on
the metal turntable as metal on metal may
produce sparking. Always use a Popcorn Tray
(NordicWare

popcorn.
