ENGLISH
• Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because all
harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating process.
• Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the food is
often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing
food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.
• Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can heat to
very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.
AUTO SENSOR COOK
The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detecting the
amount of moistures generated from the food while cooking.
• When cooking food, many kinds of moistures are generated. The Auto
Sensor determines the proper time and power level by detecting these
moistures from the food, 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 moistures generated after the
container has been saturated with steam.
• 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.
• The More/Less function pad is used to increase or decrease cooking time.
You should use this function to adjust the degree of cooking to suit your
personal taste.
UTENSILS & COVER FOR SENSOR COOKING
• To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for
selecting appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book.
• 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 with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the utensil
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.
IMPORTANT
• It its not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a continuous
cooking operation, 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 when the room ambient
temperature is too high or too low.
• Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Moisture resulting from this
detergent may aect 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.
