Sensor Cook Operating Tips

The Sensor Cook categories are designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food. The food categories that are controlled with the humidity sensor are::

Ÿ

Baked potato

Ÿ

Meat

Ÿ

Frozen Veggies

Ÿ

Fish/Seafood

Ÿ

Fresh Veggies

Ÿ

Bacon

ŸFrozen Entree

For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook categories twice in succession on the same food portion. This may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the food appears to be undercooked, use one of the Easy Set pads or cook time pads to add more time.

Additional sensor cook suggestions are:

ŸNever start with less than 4 oz. of food.

ŸUse proper containers and covers for best sensor cooking results.

ŸAlways use microwave-safe containers and cover them with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers. They will prevent steam from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually causing the food to overcook.

Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam that does not result from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.
