USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
15
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite
foods without selecting cooking times and power lev-
els. The oven automatically determines required cook-
ing time for each food item. The display will indicate
SENSING during the initial sensing period. 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
heating time. For best results for cooking by Sensor,
following these recommendations:
SENSOR OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature. 1.
Glass TURNTABLE and outside of container
should be dry to assure best cooking results. 2.
Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper or a lid. 3.
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. 4.
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good
Sensor cooking results.
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap. 1.
Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook. 2.
Match the amount to the size of the container.
Fill containers at least half full for best results. 3.
Be sure the outside of the cooking 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. 4.
CAUTION
• DO NOT leave microwave oven unattended while
popping corn.
If the SENSOR function is too long or too short, you
can increase or decrease the cook time by 10 seconds
after choosing the function. You can only increase or
decrease cook time when sensor is displayed.
Example: If you want to add to the Sensor Cook cas-
serole cooking time.
