Your microwave oven has a sensor that detects the humidity released by the food. The amount of humidity detected tells the oven how long to cook or heat your food. The sensor is used by 3 special functions: AUTO SENSOR COOK, AUTO SENSOR REHEAT, and AUTO SENSOR POPCORN. The simple instructions for these functions are on the following pages.
NOTES:
•If you want to cook by entering a time and cook power, see “Cooking at different cook powers”.
•The oven should be plugged in at least 5 minutes before sensor cooking.
•Room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
•Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off each with a paper towel.
•The oven will not generate microwave energy for approximately 28 seconds at the beginning of the sensor cooking cycle.
•When covering foods, be sure to leave an opening big enough for moisture to escape so that the sensor can determine cooking or reheating time.
