Sensor Cooking

A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from the food as it heats, and adjusts the cook time accordingly.

Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwave- safe containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are recommended. The loose-fitting lid allows enough steam to escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods with plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to allow the steam to escape.

“SC” (sensor cook) will appear in the display during sensor cooking.

NOTES:

The microwave oven should be plugged in for at least 3 minutes.

The microwave oven cavity and the exterior of the cooking container should be dry.

The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).

If the door is opened while the sensor is detecting moisture (while “SC” appears in the display), sensing will stop and the program will be canceled.
