The Genius Sensor Cooking technology takes this a step further by automatically adjusting power and cooking time based on the steam emitted from the food, ensuring optimal results every time.

The microwave also features a keep warm function, which is especially useful for busy households. This setting allows food to remain at the ideal serving temperature until it is ready to be enjoyed. With a quick 30-second button, users can easily add extra time on the fly, making it perfect for those moments when you need just a little more heating.
