Humidity Sensor
what happens when using the Sensor Features:
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.
NOTE: Sensor features will not operate when the oven is hot. If one of the sensor cooking buttons is
pressed when the tem perature inside the oven is greater than 200°F, "OVEN TOO HOT FOR SENSOR
COOKING— USING ALTERNATE M ETHOD" will be displayed. The oven will autom atically change
to cook by tim e (follow the directions in the display) or once the oven is cool enough, the sensor
features will function norm ally.
■ 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.
Auto Cook
(Do not use the shelves when m icrowave cooking.)
Because most cooking containers must be covered during Auto Cook, this feature is best with
foods that you want to steam or retain moisture.
NOTE: Use of the m etal shelf with Auto Cook is not recom m ended.
