SENSOR OPTIONS
The Viking Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture
and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cook-
ing times and power level for various foods and quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using SENSOR
OPTIONS.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the micro-
wave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The microwave oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For
example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
4. Any SENSOR OPTIONS selection can be programmed with More or Less
Time Adjustment. See page 38.
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 OPTIONS, the food name will appear on
the display. Do not open the microwave oven door or touch 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 cook-
ing, touch the Stop/Clear pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of
cooking time will appear. The 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
microwave 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 microwave 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 Help pad when the HELP indicator is
lighted in the display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the
SENSOR OPTIONS chart for these foods.
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
