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.
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.
4.
Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill
containers at least half full for best results.
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(l) pad all of the sensor
cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook
food for a longer or shorter time.
