SENSOR OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most
of your favorite foods without selecting
cooking times and power levels. The
display will indicate sensor category
during the initial sensing period. The
oven automatically determines required
cooking time for each food item. When
the internal sensor detects a certain
amount of humidity coming from the
food, it will tell the oven how much
longer to heat. The display will show
the remaining heating time. For best
results for cooking by Sensor, follow
these recommendations:
1. Food cooked with the sensor
system should be at normal storage
temperature.
2. Glass Tray and outside of container
should be dry to assure best cooking
results.
3. Foods should always be covered
loosely with microwavable plastic
wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
4. Do not open the door or touch
the STOP/CLEAR pad during the
sensing time. When sensing time is
over, the oven beeps twice and the
remaining cooking time will appear
in the display window. At this time
you can open the door to stir, turn, or
rearrange the food.
SENSOR COOKING
GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings
help assure good Sensor cooking
results.
1. Always use microwavable con-
tainers and cover them with lids or
vented plastic wrap.
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic
covers. They can prevent steam
from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
3. Match the amount to the size of the
container. Fill containers at least half
full for best results.
4. Be sure the outside of the cooking
container 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.
ADDING OR SUBTRACTING
COOK TIME
By using the MORE+ or LESS- pads
all of the sensor cook and time cook
settings can be adjusted to cook food
for a longer or shorter time. Pressing
MORE+ will add 10 seconds of cooking
time each time you press it. Pressing
LESS- will subtract 10 seconds of
cooking time each time you press it.
