Operating Instructions
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 the
sensing period by scrolling the name
of the food. 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 oven will beep and either turn off
or 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 turntable and outside of
container should be dry to assure
best cooking results.
3. Most foods should be covered
loosely with microwavable plastic
wrap, waxed paper, or a lid. See
sensor tables on page 14.
4. Do not open the door or touch
the STOP/CLEAR pad during the
sensing time. When sensing time
is over, the oven beeps once and
the remaining cooking time will
appear in the display window or the
oven will turn off. At this time you
can open the door to stir, turn, or
rearrange the food.
IMPORTANT:
When using sensor cook, the oven
must cool for 5 minutes between
uses or food will not cook properly.

SENSOR COOKING
GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings
help assure good Sensor cooking
results.
1. Always use microwavable
containers 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.
