Sensor Cooking
A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from food
as it heats, and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.
Make sure microwave oven has been plugged in for at least 1minute.
Use microwave-safe dish with loose-fitting lid, or cover microwave-
safe dish with plastic wrap and vent. For optimal performance, wait at
least 30minutes after convection cooking or grilling (on som e models)
before sensor cooking.

Adjust doneness for automatic cooking functions by touching COOK
TIME repeatedly to scroll through “NORMAL,” “MORE DONE” or
“LESS DONE” within the first 20seconds of starting the cook cycle.
Doneness cannot be adjusted for Defrost functions.
Add More Time
At the end of any cycle, “PRESS 0 TO ADD MORE TIME” scrolls in the
display. Enter the additional time, if desired, and start the microwave
oven. The cook power for all non-sensor cycles will be the same as in
the finished cycle, but may be changed. If Add More Time is used after
a sensor cycle, the cook power will be 100%, but may be changed.
Warm Hold
Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The Warm
Hold function uses 10% cook power. Warm Hold can be used by itself
or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle. Opening the door
