NOTE ON SENSOR REHEAT AND SENSOR COOKING:
• The Sensor system works by detecting a burst of steam on the steam sensor. As food cooks in a microwave
oven, steam is produced. Once steam is detected by the sensor, the oven automatically calculates the
remaining cooking time.
• When a Sensor Category is selected, category will appear in the screen. The oven door should not be
opened for longer than one minute while “AUTO” appears in the screen. Opening the door may cause
inaccurate cooking results. Once the two beep signal is heard, the remaining cooking time immediately
appears in the screen and begins to count-down. At this time, the oven door may be opened to stir, turn or
add foods.
• Cover foods loosely, but completely, with plastic wrap or place foods in a casserole dish with a proper fitting
lid.
• Foods less than 120 g (4 oz) should be cooked by power and time, not by Sensor Cook.
• All foods for Sensor should be at their normal storage temperature.
• Before using Sensor, make sure Ceramic Tray in the oven is dry to ensure best results.
• If one of the Sensor programs is selected, while the oven is still hot from heater operation, “HOT” will appear
in the screen. After cooling the oven cavity, colon or time of day reappears in the screen.
• If you wish to adjust the cooking time, press More/Less Pad before pressing Start Pad (see next page).
This feature allows you to cook most of your favourite foods without knowing the quantity or having to select
cooking time and power. The oven does it all automatically.
