About the sensor microwave features.
Humidity Sensor
What happens when using the Sensor Features:
The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven
automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion-it may result in
severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the countdown, use Time Cook for
additional cooking time.
NOTE:Sensorfeatures will not operate when the oven is hot. If one of the sensor cooking buttons is
pressed when the temperature inside the oven is greater than 200°F, "OVENTOOHOTFORSENSOR
COOKING---USING ALTERNATE METHOD"will be displayed. Theoven will automatically change
to cook by time (follow the directions in the display) or once the oven is cool enough, the sensor
features will function normally.
The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.
Covered
Vented
Dry off dishes so they don't
mislead the sensor.
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never
use tight sealing plastic containers-they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry
before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
Auto Cook (Do not use the shelves when microwave cooking.)
Because most cooking containers must be covered during Auto Cook, this feature is best with
foods that you want to steam or retain moisture.
NOTE:Use of the metal shelf with Auto Cook is not recommended.
Recommended Foods
A wide variety of foods including meats, fish and vegetables can be cooked
using this feature.
14
Foods not recommended
Foods that must be cooked uncovered, foods that require constant attention, foods that require
addition of ingredients during cooking and foods calling for a dry look or crisp surface after cooking
should not be cooked using this feature. It is best to Time Cook them.
