ABOUT SENSOR COOKING

·The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.

· Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

Never use tight sealing plastic containers — they can prevent steam from escaping and

cause food to overcook.

·Be sure the outside of the cooking containers 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.

·Do not use this feature twice in succession on the same food portion — it may result in

severely overcooked or burnt food.

ABOUT SAFETY

Check foods to see that they are cooked to the following recommended temperatures.

TEMP

FOOD

160°F

...for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg

dishes and frozen prepared food.

165°F

…for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out ―fresh‖

food.

170°F

…white meat of poultry.

180°F

…dark meat of poultry.

·To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or

bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for

microwave oven use.

·ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with

hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.

·Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the

farthest edge of a dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags

away from the face.

·Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is

no chance of overcooking food.

·NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.

·Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the

spread of food-borne bacteria.

·Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.

·Use care when removing items from the oven so that utensil, your clothes or accessories

do not touch the safety door latches.
