times when steam is detected. Time

close it and press START immediately.
After removing food from the oven, stir,
if possible, to even out the temperature.
Reheated foods may have wide variations
in temperature. Some areas may be
extremely hot.

the ADD 1 MINUTE feature for additional
reheating time.

About the sensor features.

Humidity Sensor
The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven
automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result
in severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the countdown, use the
number pads to add more cooking time. Cooking preference varies with individuals. After
using the Sensor Reheat or Sensor Cooking pad, you may want to adjust for a different
cooking time. The MORE/LESS pad allows you to add or subtract 10% to 20% cooking
time to the program. See page 13 for details.
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.
Dry off dishes so they don’t mislead
the sensor.
