Cooking Instructions
Auto Sensor Cook
The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detect-
ing the amount of humidity generated from the food while cooking.
When cooking food, humidity is generated. The Auto Sensor
determines the proper time and power level by detecting the
humidity from the food, eliminating the need to set the cooking time
and power level.
When you cover a container with its lid or plastic wrap during Sensor
Cooking, the Auto Sensor will detect the humidity generated after the
container has been saturated with steam.
Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin
its count down. This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the
food for even cooking if it is necessary.
Before Auto Sensor cooking, food may be seasoned with herbs,
spices or browning sauces. A word of caution; salt or sugar may
cause burn spots on food so these ingredients should be added after
cooking.
The More/Less pad is used to increase or decrease cooking time.
Use this pad to adjust the degree of cooking to suit your personal
taste.
Utensils & Cover For Sensor Cooking
To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the
directions for selecting appropriate containers and covers in the
charts in this book.
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids
or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner
to allow steam to escape at the proper rate.
Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the
utensil does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap.
Fill containers at least half full.
Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned at
the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, when the time has started to count
down on the display.
Important
It is not advisable to use the Auto Sensor cooking feature on a
continuous cooking operation, i.e. one cooking operation
immediately after another.
Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and
airflow and to ensure the sensor will operate accurately.
To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto Sensor when the room
ambient temperature is too high or too low.
Avoid placing the oven near high moisture appliances, since this will
interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor.
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp
cloth.
This oven is designed for household use only.
