Instant Sensor
A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from
the food and automatically sets a cooking time based on the
selected pad.
Use the following chart as a guide for the Instant Sensor pads.
Before using, make sure the microwave oven has been plugged
in for at least 2 minutes, the room temperature is not above 95°F
(35°C) and the outside of the container and microwave oven
cavity are dry.
NOTE: The oven will not accept an Instant Sensor pad touch
after 3 minutes of inactivity unless the door is opened and
closed, or OFF is touched first.
To Use:
1. Place food on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch appropriate Instant Sensor pad.
For Popcorn, touch pad repeatedly to select bag size.
For Fresh Vegetables, touch pad once for soft vegetables,
and twice for hard vegetables.
The sensor will determine the quantity and cook time for
baked potatoes, vegetables and dinner plate.
If more or less time is required, touch COOK POWER before
oven starts cooking.
The display will count down the cook time.
When the cycle ends, “END” or standing instructions will
appear in the display, and 1 long end-of-cycle tone will
sound.
3. Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display.
Reheating
Times and cooking power have been preset for reheating specific
foods. Use the following chart as a guide.
NOTE: The oven will not accept a Reheat pad touch after 3
minutes of inactivity unless the door is opened and closed, or
OFF is touched first.
To Use Reheat:
1. Place food on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch appropriate Reheat pad.
3. Touch pad repeatedly to select quantity.
If more or less time is required, touch COOK POWER before
the oven starts cooking.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and
1 long end-of-cycle tone will sound.
4. Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display.
Custom Defrost
The Custom Defrost feature can be used, or the microwave oven
can be manually set to defrost by using 30% cook power.
Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal
results.
Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
defrosting.
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of the cycle for more even defrosting.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil
and Metal” first.
Custom Defrost should not be used for food left outside the
freezer more than 20 minutes and frozen ready-made food.
