Sensor Cook
The sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released
from the food and automatically sets a cooking time based on the
selected food category. Use the following chart as a guide.
NOTE: When covering foods, make sure the vent opening is large
enough for the moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to
accurately determine cooking time.
To Use Sensor Cook:
1. Place food on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch COOK until the desired food type is displayed.
The microwave oven will start automatically after a brief
delay.
When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder
tones.
3. Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display and/or stop
reminder tones.

from the food and automatically sets a reheat time based on the
