Viking's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture
and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cook-
ing times and power levels for various foods and quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After the DrawerMicro Oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using
any sensor setting.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the
DrawerMicro Oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper
towel.
3. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example,
popcorn would be at room temperature.
4. Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjust-
ment. See page 25.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked
following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
6. During the first part of sensor use, the food name will appear on the display.
Do not open the DrawerMicro Oven or touch Stop/Clear during this part
of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs,
an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/Clear
pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder
of cooking/reheating time will appear. The DrawerMicro Oven may be
opened when the remaining time appears on the display. At this time,
you may stir or season food, as desired.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn,
the oven will turn off, and the time of day will be displayed. If the sensor
does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods,
ERROR will
be displayed, and the microwave will turn off.
8. Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, con-
tinue to cook manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the Setup/Help pad when the HELP
indicator is lighted in the display.

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the
charts for these foods. You may refer to the hints by touching the Setup/Help
