Doneness
Doneness is a function used for adjusting the cook time. This
feature is used on all sensor and non-sensor functions with the
exception of Manual Cooking, Popcorn, EasyConvect™, Custom
Reheat (beverage-manual), Defrost (manual), and Steam
(manual).
The 3 Doneness levels are Normal (default), More, or Less and
will appear once activated on the lower text line of the upper oven
display. Doneness can be changed only before starting the cycle.
To Change Doneness Setting:
After setting a function, the Doneness setting can be changed if
desired. This can be done before or after the “Start?” prompt
appears in the display. Touch the COOK POWER keypad
repeatedly to toggle through Doneness options of Normal, More,
or Less.
Sensor Cook
The Sensor Cook function is used in Reheat (meal), Steam
Cooking, and Popcorn.
During the Sensor Cook function a sensor automatically adjusts
for the cook time and power level.
The microwave oven display will show the "Maximum Time
Remaining" prompt and the time countdown once the sensor
identifies the cooking duration.
If the microwave oven door is opened during a sensor function,
the microwave oven will turn off, and any additional operations will
be canceled.
For best cooking performance:
Before using a sensor cook function, make sure power has been
