Humidity Sensor

What happens when using the Sensor Features:

The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the countdown, use Time Cook for additional cooking time.

nThe proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.

nAlways use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

nBe sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Microwave terms.

Term	Definition

Arcing	Arcing is the microwave term of rsparks in the oven. Arcing is cause by:
	• metal or foil touching the side of hte oven.
	• foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).
	• metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
	• recycled paper towls containing small metal pieces.
Covering	Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time.
	Venting plastic warp or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

Shielding	In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-
	browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts,
	such as the tips of wings and legs on pountry, which would cook before larger
	parts.

Standing Time	When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to
	stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in micro-
	wave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.

Venting	After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back
	one corner so excess steam can escape.
