Operating Instructions

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 the sensing period by scrolling the name of the food. 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, itwill tell the oven how much longer to cook. The display will show the remaining cooking time.

For best results when cooking by Sensor, follow these

recommendations:

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

2. Glass turntable and outside of container should be dry to assure best cooking results.

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

4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR pad during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven will beep 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.

5. If food is not completely cooked to your personal preference, continue cooking using cooking time and power level. DO NOT reset the original Sensor program. The Sensor system must be cooled 5 minutes before it can be used again.

ADDING OR SUBTRACTING COOK TIM E

By using the MORE(9) or LESS(l) pad all of the sensor cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time.

POPCORN

POPCORN lets you pop commercially packaged

microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time. For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.

Example: To pop popcorn

Popcorn 1.Touch POPCORN pad.

2. When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and ENDwill display.

,,Recommended amounts: 3.0-3.5 ozs.

BAKED POTATO

l IMPORTANT:

When using sensor cook, the oven must cool for 5 minutes between uses or food will not cook properly.

SENSOR GUIDES

See guides on page 14. 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 to 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.

BAKED POTATO lets you bake one to six potatoes without selecting cooking times and power levels.

NOTES: ,, Select 6 to 8 oz. potatoes.

• Before baking, pierce potato with fork several times. ,, Use the More(9) pad if cooking large potatoes.

• After baking, let stand for 5 minutes. Example: To cook 2 potatoes.

Baked Potato

,, Recommended amounts: 1-6 potatoes. NOTES:

,, If potatoes are not completely cooked, continue cooking

DEFROST 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 O°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.

,, Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to

become warm.

,,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.

,, Let foods stand, covered, for 15 to 30 minutes.

Let roasts and whole poultry stand 30 to 60 minutes.

CONVECTION COOKING

The convection mode uses dry heat to cook and brown foods. A highspeed fan circulates hot air inside the oven to heat food quickly and evenly. Convection cooking is ideal for foods that require browning or crisping coupled with a short cooking time. When cooking with the convection feature, use the wire rack to elevate food so that air can circulate completely around the dish. To cook with the convection oven,

• Place wire rack in oven.

• See Convection Baking Guide on page 18. CONVECTION COOKING TIPS.

• Follow package directions for setting the cooking tem-

perature.

• if using dark baking pans, you may prefer to set the oven

temperature 25°F lower than the temperature recom-

mended on package directions

• Set cooking time for the minimum cooking time on the

package.

• Check food a few minutes BEFORE the minimum cook-

ing time, especially if dark cookwave is being used. Foods may cook faster using the convection feature.

COMBINATION COOKING

The combination cooking feature allows you to cycle automatically between microwave and convection cooking for food that is moist as well as crisp and brown. This type of cooking is ideal for large foods that require a long cooking time when prepared in a conventional oven (such as dense cakes, large roasts, and large whole chicken). When combination cooking, use the wire rack to allow air to circulate completely around the dish.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave

,, Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode. ,, Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

,, Cook eggs just until set; they become tough ifovercooked.

Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave

,, Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as

potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about 1Acup water.

,, Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones. ,, Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable

before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time has passed.

,, Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing toward the edge of the dish and the

tips toward the center.

,, When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap. ,, Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked inseveral spots

before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

,, For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time. ,, Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense,

large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the

counter for five minutes, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

Care and Cleaning

CARE AND CLEANING FOLLOW THESE iNSTRUCTiONS TO

CLEAN AND CARE FOR YOUR OVEN.

For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean inside and out-side. Take special care to keep the inner

door panel and the oven front frame free of food or grease build-up. Never use rough powder or pads. Wipe the

microwave oven inside and out, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and

wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately

with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.

,, Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and

spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.

,, Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild

soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

,, To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat

two cups of water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes or until boiling. Let

stand in the oven for one or two minutes.

,, Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the

oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or

in the dishwasher.

,, Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a

damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, don't let water seep into the openings.

,, Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be

sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.

,, If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door,

wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.

,, Never operate the oven without food in it; this can

damage the magnetron tube or glass tray.You may wish to leave a cup of water in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
