** Because this food is cooked by the sensor, you don't need to enter a quantity. The amount shown here is the amount you can
cook. After you choose the food type and touch START, "SENSE" appears on the display. Also, the sensor needs 2
minutes, 30 seconds to warm up after the oven is connected to power or after a power failure. If you start sensor cooking during
the warm-up, "SENSE" shows on the display until the warm-up is over. Microwave energy will not be turned on until the sensor
