About the sensor features.

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 Time Cook for additional
cooking time.
The proper containers and covers are essential for
best sensor cooking.
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use
tight sealing plastic containers—they can prevent
steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture
turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Dry off dishes so they
don’t mislead the sensor.

coffee or other beverage.
Drinks heated with the Beverage feature may be very
