SENSOR COOKING
SENSOR COOKING
Electrolux’s 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 Cooking:
After microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before 1.
using SENSOR COOKING settings.
Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the 2.
interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
The microwave oven works with foods at normal storage 3.
temperature. For example, rice would be at room
temperature.
Any Sensor Cooking selection can be programmed with 4.
MORE OR LESS TIME ADJUSTMENT. See page 18.
More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart 5.
should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave
cookbook.
During the rst part of Sensor Cooking, food name will 6.
appear on the display. Do not open the microwave oven
door or press STOP/clear during this part of the cooking
cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this
occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking,
press 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.
If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping 7.
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. Follow the instructions.
Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional 8.
time is needed, continue to cook manually.
INSTANT SENSOR9. and SENSOR REHEAT can only be
entered within 3 minutes after cooking, opening and
closing the door or pressing the STOP/clear pad.
Each food has a cooking hint. Press 10. user pref pad when
the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the food charts.
Casserole lid.1.
Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave 2.
cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch
to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic
wrap should not touch food.
Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under 3.
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.

and the food number. You don’t need to calculate cooking
time or power level.
