Sensor Cook

The Sensor Cook function is used in Reheat (meal), Steam
Cooking, and Popcorn.
During the Sensor Cook function, a sensor automatically
adjusts for the cook time and power level.
The microwave oven display will show the time countdown
once the sensor identifies the cooking duration.
If the microwave oven door is opened during a sensor function,
the microwave oven will turn off, and any additional operations
will be canceled.
For best cooking performance:
Before using a sensor cook function, make sure power has
been supplied to the microwave oven for at least 2 minutes, the
room temperature is not above 95°F (35°C), and the outside of
the cooking container and the microwave oven cavity are dry.
