Humidity Sensor

The Sensor 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 Features twice 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.
■
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.
■
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.
