About the sensor microwave features.
Humidity Sensor
TheSensor 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 Featurestwice 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.
The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.
Covered
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.
Vented
Dry off dishes so they don't
misleod the sensor.
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.
