Microwave Oven (Upper Oven)
Auto sensor cooking instructions
The Auto Sensor cooks your food automatically by detecting the amount of gases
generated from the food while it is cooking.
•
When food is cooked, many kinds of gases are generated. The Auto Sensor
determines the proper time and power level by detecting these gases,
eliminating the need to set the cooking time and power level.
•
When you cover a container with its lid or plastic wrap during Sensor Cooking,
the Auto Sensor will detect the gases generated after the container has been
saturated with steam.
NOTE
If using cling film or plastic wrap, leave a small opening (vent) near the edge of the
dish for ventilation or pierce the plastic with a knife or fork in several places.
•
Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin its count
down. This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the food for even
cooking if it is necessary.
•
Before Auto Sensor cooking, food may be seasoned with herbs, spices, or
browning sauces. A word of caution though: Salt or sugar may cause burn
spots on food so these ingredients should be added after cooking.

Utensils & cover
•
To obtain good cooking results with the Auto Sensor function, follow the
directions for selecting appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this
manual.
•
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids or with
plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to
escape at the proper rate.
•
Always cover your microwave safe dish or container with its matching lid. If
the dish or container does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap.
•
Fill containers at least half full.
•
Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward the
end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the
display.
CAUTION
•
After installing the oven and plugging it into an electrical outlet, do not unplug
the power cord for 24 hours. The gas sensor needs time to stabilize in order to
cook satisfactorily.
•
It is not advisable to use the Auto Sensor cooking feature continuously. i.e. one
cooking operation immediately after another.
•
Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow and
to ensure the sensor will operate accurately.
•
To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto Sensor cooking function when the
room ambient temperature is above 90 °F or below 45 °F.
•
Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Gas resulting from this
detergent may affect the sensor.
•
Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting appliances, since
this will interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor.
•
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp cloth.
This oven is designed for household use only.
