Operating Instructions
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 the sensing period by scrolling
the name of the food. The oven automatically determines
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 cook. The display will show the remaining cooking time.
For best results when cooking by Sensor, follow these
recommendations:
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
2. Glass turntable and outside of container should be dry
to assure best cooking results.
3. Most foods should be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic 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 will beep 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.
5. If food is not completely cooked to your personal
preference, continue cooking using cooking time and
power level.
DO NOT reset the original Sensor program.
The Sensor system must be cooled 5 minutes before it
can be used again.
IMPORTANT:
When using sensor cook, the oven must cool for 5
minutes between uses or food will not cook properly.
SENSOR GUIDES
See guides on page 14.
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good
Sensor cooking results.
1. Always use microwavable containers 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 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.
