SETTING MICROWAVE CONTROLS
Sensor Cook
The Sensor Cook categories are designed to de-
tect the increasing humidity released by the food
during the cooking process. The microwave oven
sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to
the type and amount of food. The food categories
that are controlled with the humidity sensor are
shown in Table 7.
Table 12: Sensor Settings
Key Press Food
Sensor Cook x1 Frozen breakfast (8-12
oz.)
Sensor Cook x2 Ground meat
Sensor Cook x3 Fish or seafood
Sensor Cook x4 Chicken breast
For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook
categories twice in succession on the same food
portion. This may result in severely overcooked
or burnt food. If the food appears to be un-
der-cooked, use one of the Easy Set pads or cook
time pads to add more time.
Additional sensor cook suggestions are:
• Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.
• For best sensor cooking results, use proper
containers and covers or wrap food with plas-
tic.
• Always use microwave-safe containers. Nev-
er use tight-sealing plastic containers. They
will prevent steam from escaping, and this will
mislead the sensor, usually causing the food to
overcook.
Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and
the cavity of the microwave oven are dry before
placing food inside. Excessive moisture turning into
steam that does not result from the food cooking
can mislead the sensor.
To set Sensor Cook:
1. Press Sensor Cook until the correct food type
displays.
2. Press START.
When the food is ready, three long tones sound,
and “FOOD READY” shows in the display.
Reheat
The reheat feature is designed to detect the in-
creasing humidity released by the food during the
cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will
automatically adjust the cooking time to the type
and amount of food.
