microwave oven.

flashes until you touch START/JET START.
3. Touch START/JET START.

SENSOR COOKING
Your microwave oven has a sensor that detects the
humidity released by the food. The amount
of humidity detected tells the oven how long to cook
or heat your food. The sensor is used by
3 special functions: SENSOR COOK, SENSOR
REHEAT, and SENSOR POPCORN. The simple
instructions for these functions are on the following
pages.
NOTES:
If you want to cook by entering a time and cook
power, see “Microwave cooking guide” in the
“Cooking Guide” section.
The oven should be plugged in at least 5 minutes
before sensor cooking.
Room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and
the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off each with a
paper towel.
The oven will not generate microwave energy for
approximately 28 seconds at the beginning of the
sensor cooking cycle.
When covering foods, be sure to leave an opening
big enough for moisture to escape so that the
sensor can determine cooking or reheating time.
USING SENSOR COOK
To use SENSOR COOK:
1. Put the food in the oven and close the door.
2. Touch SENSOR COOK until desired food type is
displayed.
SENSOR COOK will start automatically after a
short delay.
(See Sensor Cooking Chart.)
wWARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour
before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
