Sensor Cooking

A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from
the food as it heats, and adjusts the cook time accordingly.
Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwave-
safe containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are
recommended. The loose-fitting lid allows enough steam to
escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods with
plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to
allow the steam to escape.
NOTES:
■ The microwave oven should be plugged in for at least
3 minutes.
■ The microwave oven cavity and the exterior of the cooking
container should be dry.
■
The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
■ If the drawer is opened during a sensor cycle, sensing will
stop and the program will be canceled.

Sensor Popcorn

The sensor in the microwave oven determines the appropriate
popping time of commercially packaged microwavable popcorn.
This function is programmed to detect popping times for 3.5-oz
(99 g), 3.0-oz (85 g) and 1.75-oz (50 g) bags.
NOTE: During Popcorn function, as with all microwave cooking
functions, the microwave oven should be attended at all times.
Listen for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then
stop the cycle.
■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use regular
paper bags or glassware.
■ Pop only 1 package of popcorn at a time.
■ Follow manufacturer's instructions when using a microwave
popcorn popper.
■ For best cooking results, do not try to pop unpopped kernels.
■ Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results.
■
Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content. For bag
sizes not listed in this section, follow directions on the
package.
■ Cooking results may vary based on location of bag on the
floor of the microwave oven drawer. Try changing bag
location to achieve best results.
