Sensor Cook
During the Sensor Cook function a sensor automatically adjusts
for the cook time and power level.
The microwave oven display will show the time countdown once
the sensor identifies the cooking duration.
If the microwave oven door is opened during a sensor function
the microwave oven will turn off, and any additional operations
will be canceled.
For best cooking performance:
Before using a sensor cook function, make sure power has been
supplied to the microwave oven for at least 2 minutes, the room
temperature is not above 95°F (35°C), and the outside of the
cooking container and the microwave oven cavity are dry.
Sensing Bar
The sensing bar is a visual picture of the sensing process. It will
appear during sensor cooking functions above the word
“Sensing.”

The Manual Method control on the Main Menu is for manual
cooking. There are several methods from which to choose. Some
