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 sensor category during
the initial sensing period. 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 heating time. For best results for 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. Foods should always be vented or 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 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.
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.
Operation
• DO NOT leave microwave oven unattended while popping
corn.
