Using Your Microwave Oven

Sensor cooking

Food releases humidity during cooking/heating. How much humidity food releases is affected by the quantity, temperature, and shape of the food. Your microwave oven has a sensor that detects this humidity. The amount of humidity detected tells the oven how long to cook or heat your food. You can sensor cook when preparing any of 8 types of food. Just touch the pad for the food you want to cook or heat (see the chart below).

To sensor cook:

1.Touch a Sensor pad.

Example for baked potato

NOTES:

•You do not need to touch START to start the oven. The oven will start cooking/heating when you touch one of the Sensor pads.

•If you need more or less cooking time, do not touch the selected Sensor pad again. Touch COOK POWER within 20 seconds after choosing the food type. (See “Changing preset cooking times” in the “Using Your Microwave Oven” section.) You cannot change preset cook- ing times for POPCORN.

•The sensor needs 2 minutes, 30 seconds to warm up after the oven is connected to power or after a power failure. If you start sensor cooking during the warm-up, “SENSE” shows on the display until the warm-up is over. Microwave energy will not be turned on until the sensor is warm.

•When cooking foods for a long time, allow the oven to cool down before sensor cooking again.

Popcorn brands make a difference

How well your popcorn cooks will depend on the brand of popcorn and how much fat it has in it. Try several brands to decide which pops the best. For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.

This chart shows you how to choose a type of food and the amount you can choose for each type.
