OOKING
Your microwave oven has a sensor that detects
the humidity released by the food. The amount
of humidity detected tells the oven how long to
cook or heat your food. The sensor is used by
3 special functions: Sensor Cook, Sensor
Reheat, and Sensor Popcorn. The simple
instructions for these functions are on the
following pages.
NOTES:
•
If you want to cook by entering a time and cook
power, see “Cooking at different cook powers”.
•
The oven should be plugged in at least 5 minutes
before sensor cooking.
•
Room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
•
Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and
the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off each with a
paper towel.
•
The oven will not generate microwave energy for
approximately 28 seconds at the beginning of the
sensor cooking cycle.
•
When covering foods, be sure to leave an opening
big enough for moisture to escape so that the
sensor can determine cooking or reheating time.
