Sensor Cook
You can cook many foods by touching any Sensor Cook pad. You don’t need to calculate cooking time or power level.
• Sensor Reheat
1. Touch Sensor Reheat.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear.
NOTE:
• Sensor Cook can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 22.
• The final result will vary according to the food condition (e.g. initial temperature, shape, quality). Check food for
temperature after heating. If additional time is needed, continue to heat manually.
