Using AUTO SENSOR
The Auto Sensor Control allows you to
cook food in the oven without comput-
ing time or power level. All foods give
off
moisture, aroma and other vapors as
they cook. When the oven senses the
right amount of vapor from the food, it
will automatically determine the remain-
ing time and power needed to finish
cooking the food. You only need to
touch COOK/REHEAT or COOK
FROZEN and a Number Pad (for a food
setting), then START If you like your
food less done than average you may
decrease the cooking time by touching
the LESS (Number 1) Pad after select-
ing the category (before touching
START). If you like your food more done
than average, touch the MORE
(Number 9) Pad after selecting the
category (before touching START) to
extend the time. You may add ingre-
dients, stir, turn or rotate during the
timed portion of the Auto Sensor cy-
cles However, “Err” will show on the
Display if the door is opened during the
first (automatic) part of either cycle. If
this happens, open the door and touch
CANCEL. To finish cooking, estimate
the remaining time and reset the oven
using Cook 1 cycle. Do not reset the
Auto Sensor. See the Auto Sensor
Chart included with your oven and the
Auto Sensor Guide on the inner door
panel for examples of food to cook at
each setting.
