SENSOR COOK

Your oven has a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor detects the vapour from the food and calculates the correct microwave power level and cooking time. The SENSOR COOK key offers the possibility to easily cook 6 menus without entering the food quantity. To select the sensor cook menu, touch the SENSOR COOK key until the desired menu is displayed. The SENSOR COOK can only be input within 3 minutes after cooking completion, closing the door or pressing the STOP key. Always refer to the SENSOR COOK chart on page GB-25 before operating this function.

NOTES:

1. Once a SENSOR COOK programme has started, do not open the door or press the STOP key until the

remaining cooking time appears on the display, unless following instructions to stir or turn over. During this time, Sensor technology senses humidity emitted from food as it heats and determines the cooking time. Opening the door or stopping the oven disturbs the humidity content and affects the cooking result.

2. Ensure food is thoroughly heated before serving. If additional heating is required, cook this manually.

3. Wipe off any moisture from the outside of cooking containers and the interior of the oven with a dry cloth or paper towel prior to cooking on SENSOR COOK.

4. If you want to alter the cooking results, press the LESS (

(See page GB-19 for details). For best results use the cooking chart instructions.

5. If food requires manipulation (i.e. turn over or stir) then open the door, follow the instruction, close the door and press the
