Sensor Cooking
Sensor cooking allows you to cook food
without setting a time.
Choose the Sensor Cooking feature for
your food type.
Always use microwave-safe containers.
Cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
Be careful when removing covers after
cooking. To avoid steam burns, remove
covers facing away from you.
Place food in the oven.
Press the food pad until the food
category appears in the window.
Press START. The oven beeps 2
times when steam is detected. Time
remaining begins to count down in the
display window. The oven will beep 5
times at the end of the countdown.
Do not open the oven door until time is
counting down. If the door is opened,
close it and press START immediately.
After the time remaining countdown, use
the ADD 1 MINUTE feature for additional
reheating time.
How to Change the Automatic Settings
After using this feature a few times, you
may find that food is undercooked or over-
cooked. You can adjust the cooking time for
some foods to suit your personal taste.
To reduce time by 10%:
Press the MORE/LESS pad two times.
To add 10% to cooking time:
