AUTO SENSOR MICROWAVING TIPS
General Sensor Cooking/Reheating:
• For foods not listed in the Sensor
Reheating/Cooking Guide (pages
27 - 28), use Timed Cooking.
• After START is pressed, do not
open the door while the words
SENSOR COOKING scroll across
the display. During this time, the
oven is measuring the amount of
steam generated from the food.
The oven then determines the
heating or cooking time for the
food.
• Room temperature should be
below 35°C (95°F).
• Keep the inside of oven, the
turntable and the outside of
cooking containers dry. Wipe off
all spillovers. Excessive humidity
in the oven may result in an
incorrect cooking time.
• Always cover food completely
(but not too tightly) with wax
paper, plastic wrap or casserole
lids. Loose-fitting covers may
cause the oven to miscalculate
time. Never use tightly sealed
plastic containers such as those
with plastic snap closing lids.
REHEAT ENTREE
FROZEN ENTREE
• Auto Sensor Reheat is best used
for 1 - 2 servings.
• Very dense foods (e.g. frozen
lasagna) should be allowed to
stand covered after reheating.
• The following foods are not
recommended: Boil-in-the-bag
entrees or vegetables, raw or
uncooked food, food that must be
reheated uncovered, foods that
should be crisp in texture after
reheating, frozen cheesecake,
dried foods, bread or pastry,
beverages.
• Do not reheat in foil containers.
• When reheating 1 cup (250 mL) of
delicate sauces/dips that contain
sour cream, eggs or cream
cheese, use Timed Cooking on
power level P30 for 4 - 5 minutes
and stir halfway through cooking
time.
SOUP/BEVERAGE
• When reheating canned soups,
remove from can. Add milk or
water as directed on can. Place in
a microwave-safe bowl or cup.
• Liquid must be room or
refrigeration temperature.
POPCORN
• Use bag sizes 1.75 oz - 3.5 oz only.
