SENSOR COOKING
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 Sensing 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� Always use microwavable containers.
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�
5� Foods should always be covered with microwavable plastic
wrap, waxed paper, or a lid. Never use tight-sealing plastic
covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause
food to overcook.
6� Do not open the door or press the CANCEL pad during the
sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps
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�

Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the food charts.
1� Casserole lid�
2� Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave
cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch
to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic
wrap should not touch food.
3� Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under
dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two
pieces at least one inch to cover.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to
escape away from you.
