Operation

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate SENSING during the initial sensing period. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results for cooking by Sensor, following these recommendations.

1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.

2. Glass Tray/(TURNTABLE) and outside of container should be dry to assure best cooking results.

3. Foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.

4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR key during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results.

1. Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

3. Match the amount of the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART

To enter food weight in AUTO DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals.

DEFROSTING TIPS

¥ When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be

entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds

(the weight of the food minus the container)

¥ Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO

DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0¡F (taken directly from a true freezer). If food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5¡F or below, always program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.

¥ If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to

20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.

¥ The shape of the package alters the defrosting

time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.

¥ Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

¥ You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to

shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.

¥ Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if

they start to become warm.

¥ For better results, a preset standing time is

included in the defrosting time.

Cooking

GETTING THE BEST COOKING RESULTS

To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below.

¥ Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the

freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods at room temperature. The time for recipes in this book is based on the normal storage temperature of the food.

¥ Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large

ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when cooking large pieces of food.

¥ Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more

evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.

¥ Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from

the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary.

¥ Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes,

roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

¥ Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus

tips, toward the center of the dish.

¥ Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken

pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the dish.

¥ Shield, with Small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of

food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry.

¥ Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the

microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing time depends on the density and surface area of the food.

¥ Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:

Sandwiches and many other foods containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out.

FISH & SHELLFISH

Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions

¥ Prepare the fish for cooking.

- Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.

- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a single layer for even cooking.

- The type of cover you use depends on how you cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or vented plastic wrap.

- Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating crisp and sauce from getting watery.

- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.

¥ The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below

provides specific directions with Power Level and Cooking Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish.

APPETIZERS / SAUCES / SOUPS

Cooking Appetizers: Tips and Techniques

Recommended

¥ Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded

wheat, and crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use. Wait until party time to add the spreads. Place a paper towel under the crackers while they cook in the microwave oven to absorb extra moisture.

¥ Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even

cooking.

¥ Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.

Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques

¥ Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring

cup that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the sauce.

¥ Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly

than those made with flour.

Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques

¥ Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds

double the volume of the recipe ingredients to prevent boil-over, especially if you use cream or milk in the soup.

¥ Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED

plastic wrap or a microwavable lid.

¥ Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods to

retain crispness.

¥ Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested

time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking the food.

Not Recommended

¥ Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are

best done in a conventional oven with dry heat.

¥ Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave

oven but will not come out crisp.

¥ Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour

uncovered so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during cooking for a smooth consistency.

¥ To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe,

reduce the amount of liquid slightly.

¥ Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors,

distribute heat evenly, and may even shorten the cooking time.

¥ When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook

in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong seasonings.

MEAT

Cooking Meat: General Directions

¥ Prepare the meat for cooking.

- Defrost completely.

- Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering.

- Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable rack in a microwavable dish.

- Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat.

- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward the outside of the dish.

- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent splattering.

¥ Tend the meat as it cooks.

- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce splattering and keep from overcooking the bottom of the meat.

- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to prevent overcooking.

NOTE: Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven walls, and do not cover more than one-third of the meat with foil at any one time.

¥ Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes

after you remove it from the oven. The internal temperature of the meat may rise from 5-10ûF during standing time.

The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time settings for most cuts of meat.
