DO NOT USE SENSOR REHEAT:

5. For frozen foods.
This sensor feature allows you to reheat
cooked, refrigerated food without setting
time. The oven simplifies programming.
This sensor feature allows you to cook
food without setting time. The oven sim-
plifies programming.
BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:
1. The room temperature surrounding the
oven should be below 95° F (35° C).
2. Food weight should exceed 4 oz. (110 g).
3. Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the
cooking containers and the inside of the
microwave oven are dry before placing
food in the oven. Residual beads of mois-
ture turning into steam can mislead the
sensor.
4. Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic
wrap. Never use tightly sealed plastic
containers—they can prevent steam from
escaping and cause food to overcook.
DURING Reheating/Cooking:
DO NOT open the oven door until 2 beeps
sound and cooking time appears on the
Display Window. Doing so will cause inac-
curate cooking since the steam from food is
no longer contained within the oven cavity.
Once the cooking time begins to count
down, the oven door may be opened to stir,
turn, or rearrange foods.
AFTER Reheating/Cooking:
All foods should have a stand time.
