Sensor Cook Operation - Frigidaire 316495003 Use & Care Manual

Sensor cook operating tips
The Sensor Cook catagories are designed to detect the
increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking
process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically
adjust the cooking time to the the type and amount of food.
The food catagories that are controlled with the humidity
sensor are:
• sensor reheat
• frozen pizza
• fish
• meat
For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook
catagories twice in succession on the same food portion -
this may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the
food appears to be undercooked, use one of the EasySet
pads or cook time pads to add more time.
Additional sensor cook suggestions are:
• Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.
• Use proper containers and covers for best sensor
cooking results.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them
with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use
tight sealing plastic containers - they will prevent steam
from escaping and this will mislead the sensor; usually
causing the food to overcook.
• Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the
cavity of the microwave oven are dry before placing food
in the oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam not
resulting from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.
Sensor reheat
The sensor reheat feature is designed to detect the
increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking
process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically
adjust the cooking time to the the type and amount of food.
The food types to avoid using the reheat are;
• Uncooked or raw foods.
• Bread and other dry types of food such as crackers,
biscuits or cakes.
• Beverages or frozen foods.
• Frozen pizza.
