Humidity Sensor
What happens when using the Sensor Features:
The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity
released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts
the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession
on the same food portion—it may result in severely
overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the
countdown, use
Cook Time for additional cooking time.
NOTE: Sensor features will not operate when the oven
is hot. If one of the sensor cooking buttons is pressed
when the temperature inside the oven is greater than

oven will automatically change to cook by time (follow the
directions in the display) or once the oven is cool enough,
the sensor features will function normally.
