SENSOR COOKING BUTTONS

The Sensor Cooking buttons let you cook favorite foods using preset power levels and times at the touch of a button. If the food is not thoroughly cooked or reheated when you use the auto cook feature, complete the cooking process by selecting a power level and cooking the food for an additional amount of time.

Do not use the Sensor Cooking buttons continuously. The oven must cool for 5 minutes between uses or the CAUTION food will overcook.

SENSOR REHEAT BUTTON

Heating leftovers and precooked foods is easy with your new microwave. By actually sensing the humidity that escapes as the food is heated, the oven’s heating time is automatically adjusted depending on the type and amount of precooked food.

All food must already be precooked. Plates of food and casseroles should be stored at refrigerator temperature. Press the Sensor Reheat button and Enter/Start button to begin reheating your precooked food. The display will show REHEAT and the oven will start. If you want to check the current time at any time while reheating, press the Clock button.
