	(☛ page 12)
	Optional
4.	• Press Start.
	➤ Cooking starts.

Cooking is complete when 5 beeps sound. (When steam is detected by the Genius Sensor and 2 beeps sound, the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window.)

For the best results with the GENIUS SENSOR, follow these recommendations.

BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:

1.The room temperature surrounding the oven should be below 95° F (35° C).

2.Food weight should exceed 4 oz. (110 g).

3.Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

4.Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. Never use tightly sealed plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

DURING Reheating/Cooking:

DO NOT open the oven door until the end of cooking or 2 beeps sound. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity. If 2 beeps sounds, the remaining cooking time will begin to count down. The oven door may be opened to stir, turn, or rearrange foods.

AFTER Reheating/Cooking:

All foods should have a stand time.
