Sensor Reheat
The Sensor Reheat mode lets you reheat dinner plates or
casseroles (8-12 oz) for your cooking convenience.
For best results for cooking by sensor, follow these
recommendations:
▯
Food cooked with the sensor system should start from
normal storage temperature.
▯
Turntable tray, ceramic tray and outside of container
should be dry.
▯
Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, wax paper or lid.
▯
Foods should be cooked on a microwaveable dinner
plate.
▯
Touch the INFO button for information, e.g. on
cookware, rack position or the addition of liquid when
cooking meat.
▯
Do not open the door or touch the START l STOP
touch button during sensing time. When sensing time
is over, the remaining cooking time will appear in the
display. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn
or rearrange the food.
The following chart shows the amount of food you can
cook at any one time.

Auto Defrost
With the Auto Defrost mode you can defrost three
different types of food by entering the weight. The ideal
defrost time will be calculated by the program.
The following chart shows the available options and
settings ranges.
Ovenware for defrosting
Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, such as
a glass casserole dish or glass plate, but do not cover.
Stand time
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an
additional 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even
temperature. Large pieces of meat require a longer
standing time than smaller pieces. Flat pieces of meat
and items made from ground meat should be separated
from each other before leaving to stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food,
even though thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in
the middle.
Tips for defrosting

HEALTH RISK
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or
