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 deter-
mines 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 heat-
ing time. For best results for cooking
by Sensor, follow these recom-
mendations.
1. Food cooked with the sensor
system should be at normal stor-
age 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 plas-
tic 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 cook-
ing 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.
