Sensor operating instructions

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your
favorite foods without selecting cooking times and
power levels . The display will indicate the sensing
period by scrolling the name of the food . 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 cook . The
display will show the remaining heating time .
For best results when cooking by Sensor, follow
these recommendations:
1 . Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature .
2 . Glass turntable and outside of container should
be dry to assure best cooking results .
3 . Most 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
pad during the sensing time . When sensing
time is over, the oven beeps 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 .
See sensing chart on page 20 .
IMPORTANT:
When using sensor cook, the oven must cool for 5
minutes between uses or food will not cook properly .

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor cooking guide

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good Sensor cooking results .
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 to the size of the container . Fill
containers at least half full for best results .
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
turning into steam can mislead the sensor .
NOTE:
If food is not thoroughly cooked or reheated when
using the sensor feature, complete using a power
level and cooking time . DO NOT continue using the
sensor pad .
Adding or subtracting cook
time
By using the More(9) or Less(1) pad all of the sensor
cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook
food for a longer or shorter time .
