Using Sensor Cooking
SENSOR COOKING
SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite
foods without selecting cooking times and power
levels. 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
heat. The display will show the remaining heat time.
For best results by Sensor, following these
recommendations.
• Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
• Glass Tray and outside of container should be dry
to assure best cooking results.
• Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper or a lid.
• Do not open the door or touch the “STOP/CLEAR”
key 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.
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good Sensor cooking results.
• Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
• Match the amount to the size of the container.
Fill containers at least half full for best results.
• 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.
