Sensor Reheat

The sensor in the microwave oven determines the reheating time
based on the selection. Use the following chart as a guide.
FOOD SERVING SIZE/INSTRUCTIONS
Dinner Plate 8-16 oz (227-454 g)
(refrigerated) Place food on microwave-safe plate, cover
with plastic wrap and vent.
Soup/Sauce 1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L)
Place in microwave-safe container, cover
with plastic wrap and vent. Stir and let stand
2-3 minutes after reheating.
Casserole 1-2 cups (250-500 mL)
(refrigerated) Place in microwave-safe container, cover
with plastic wrap and vent. Stir and let stand
2-3 minutes after reheating.
NOTE: When covering foods, make sure the vent opening is large
enough for moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to
accurately determine reheating time.
To Use Sensor Reheat:
1. Place food on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch REHEAT until the desired food type is displayed.
The microwave oven will start automatically after a brief
delay.
When the cycle ends, "END" will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound.
3. Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on
cleaning products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested unless otherwise noted.
MICROWAVE OVEN CAVITY
To avoid damage to the microwave oven cavity, do not use soap-
filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty
washcloths or some recycled paper towels.
To avoid damage to stainless steel models, rub in direction of
grain.
The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when
closed should be kept clean.
Average soil

Keep Warm function uses 10% cook power. Keep Warm can be
used by itself, or it can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle.
■ Cover plates of food.

For best results, do not cover baked goods such as pastries,
pies, turnovers, etc.
