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 door is opened during a sensor cycle, sensing will stop
and the program will be canceled.
Sensor Cook
The sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released
from the food and automatically sets a cooking time based on the

enough for moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to
accurately determine cooking time.

1. Place food on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch COOK until the desired food type is displayed.
The microwave oven will start automatically after a brief
delay.
When the cycle ends, "END" will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound.
3. Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display.
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.
