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
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 for cooking by Sensor, follow
these recommendations.
1. Food cooked with the sensor
system should be at normal
storage temperature.
2. Glass Tray (TURNTABLE) 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 pad 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.
SENSOR COOKING
GUIDE
Appropriate containers and cover-
ings help assure good Sensor cook-
ing results.
1. Always use microwavable con-
tainers 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.
