OPERATION
SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good
foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. Sensor cooking results.
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 by Sensor, following
these recommendation.
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.
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
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 turing into steam
can mislead the sensor.
2. Glass Tray 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.

Weight conversion chart
AUTO DEFROST
You are probably used to food weights as being in
pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for
example 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound).
However, in order 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.
Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost
sequences. Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to
defrost frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Sequence
Table below provides some basic guidelines for using
the three defrost sequences.

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).
• Only use AUTO DEFROST 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
shield any warm portions.
7. Close the door and restart.
8. After 2/3 of the defrost time is
over, the display will prompt you
to turn over food. Repeat steps
6 and 7. When the defrost time
is over, you will hear four beeps
and End will display.
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.
NOTE: If you do not open the
door, the display will
resume the countdown.
• 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
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.

CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean
inside and outside. 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, including the hood
bottom cover, 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.
②
①
NOTE: Do not operate the hood without the filter in
place.
CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
supply.
Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I
may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?
A. Only use the rack that is supplied with your
microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in
poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may
damage your oven.
2. Remove the bulb cover mounting screws.
Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my
microwave oven?
A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding
(use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray
is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb
microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch
walls or door.
3. Replace bulb(s) with 30 watt appliance bulb(s).
4. Replace bulb cover, and mount screw.
5. Turn the power back on at the main power supply.
Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?
A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the
operation of your oven.
OVEN LIGHT REPLACEMENT
1. Unplug oven or turn off power at the main power
supply.
2. Remove the vent cover mounting screws. (2 middle
screws)
3. Tip the cover forward, then lift out to remove.
Q. What are the humming noises that I hear when
my microwave oven is operating?
A. You hear the sound of the transformer when the
magnetron tube cycles on and off.
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it? I thought that this should
not happen.
A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to
the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after
cooking.
Q. What does “standing time” mean?
A. ”Standing time” means that food should be taken
out of the oven and covered for additional time after
cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish,
saves energy and frees the oven for other purpose.
4. Lift up the bulb holder.
Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How
do I get the best results?
A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer’s guidelines or use the
preprogrammed Popcorn pad.
Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening
test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping
slows to a “pop” every one or two seconds. Do not
try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use
special microwave poppers. When using a popper,
be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not
pop popcorn in glass utensils.
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust
vent?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this
steam out the top vent.
5. Replace bulb with a 30 or 40 watt appliance bulb.
6. Replace the bulb holder.
7. Slide the top of the vent cover into place. Push the
bottom until it snaps into place. Replace the
mounting screws. Turn the power back on at the
main power supply.

MAINTENANCE
You may microwave in many more utensils than you can use on the stove or in a conventional oven, because
microwaves penetrate them safely still cooking the food.
Below are listed the utensils you can safely cook with and those you must avoid. To test whether you can safely
with a utensil not on the lists below, do the following:
1. Place the utensil empty in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place in the oven beside the utensil.
3. Microwave on HI Power for 1 minute.
4. If the utensil is warm to the touch at the end of this time, you should not use it for microwave cooking.
MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
USE
DO NOT USE
OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high
intensity heat):
utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates,
cake plates, liquid measuring cups,
casseroles and bowls without metallic
trim.
METAL UTENSILS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces
uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil
trays.Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your
microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,
etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may
damage the oven.
CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates and platters
without metallic trim.
ALUMINUM FOIL:
PLASTIC:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking
and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield
poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch
from the side walls and door of the oven.
Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the plastic
wrap loosely over the dish and press it to
the sides.
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one
edge slightly to allow excess steam to
escape. The dish should be deep
enough so that the plastic wrap will not
touch the food. As the food heats it may
melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap
touches the food.
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack
when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the
same way.
Use plastic dishes, cups,
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
semirigid freezer containers and plastic
bags only for short cooking time. Use
these with care because the plastic
may soften from the heat of the food.
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered
utensils. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items
before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins and paper plates with no
metallic trim or design. Look for the
manufacturer's label for use in the
microwave oven.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the
oven.
METAL TWIST TIES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a fire.
