Auto Sensor Microwaving Tips

General Sensor Cooking/Reheating:

•For foods not listed in the Sensor Reheating/Cooking Guide (pages 24 - 25), use Timed Cooking.

•After START is pressed, do not open the door while the words SENSOR COOKING scroll across the display. During this time, the oven is measuring the amount of steam generated from the food. The oven then determines the heating or cooking time for the food.

•Room temperature should be below 35°C (95°F).

•Keep the inside of oven, the turntable and the outside of cooking containers dry. Wipe off all spillovers. Excessive humidity in the oven may result in an incorrect cooking time.

•Always cover food completely (but not too tightly) with wax paper, plastic wrap or casserole lids. Loose-fitting covers may cause the oven to miscalculate time. Never use tightly sealed plastic containers such as those with plastic snap closing lids.

REHEAT ENTREE

FROZEN ENTREE

•Auto Sensor Reheat is best used for 1 - 2 servings.

•Very dense foods (e.g. frozen lasagna) should be allowed to stand covered after reheating.

•The following foods are not recommended: Boil-in-the-bag entrees or vegetables, raw or uncooked food, food that must be reheated uncovered, foods that should be crisp in texture after reheating, frozen cheesecake, dried foods, bread or pastry, beverages.

•Do not reheat in foil containers.

•When reheating 1 cup (250 mL) of delicate sauces/dips that contain sour cream, eggs or cream cheese, use Timed Cooking on power level P30 for 4 - 5 minutes and stir halfway through cooking time.

SOUP/BEVERAGE

•When reheating canned soups, remove from can. Add milk or water as directed on can. Place in a microwave-safe bowl or cup.

•Liquid must be room or refrigeration temperature.

POPCORN

• Use bag sizes 1.75 oz - 3.5 oz only.
