Sensor Cooking

A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from the food and automatically sets a cooking time based on the selected pad.

Use the following chart as a guide for the food pads.

Popcorn*	3.5 oz (100 g)	Pop only one package at a
	3 oz (85 g)	time.
	1.75 oz (50 g)
Baked	1-4 medium,	Pierce each one several
Potatoes	10-13 oz	times with a fork. Place on
	(283-369 g) each	turntable around edges, at
		least 1" (2.5 cm) apart. At
		the end of cooking, let stand
		5 minutes.
Fresh	1-4 cups	Moisten and place in
Vegetables	(250 mL-1 L)	microwavable container.

Beverage	1 or 2 8-oz	Do not cover. The diameter
	(250 mL) cups	of the cup’s opening will
		affect how it heats. A smaller
		diameter opening may
		become hotter.

*Do not use regular paper bags or glassware. Listen for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then stop the cycle. Do not try to pop unpopped kernels. Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results. Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content. If using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer’s instructions.

To Use Sensor Cooking:

Before using, make sure the microwave oven has been plugged in for at least 3 minutes, the room temperature is not above 95°F (35°C) and the outside of the container and microwave oven cavity are dry.

1.Touch one of the SENSOR food pads.

The microwave oven will automatically turn on. While the cooking time is being estimated, “SENSE” will appear in the display. Then the SENSOR set time counts down on the display, and “MAX” appears every 3 seconds.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder tones.

2.Touch CANCEL or open the door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.

The cook time (except POPCORN) can be changed for 20 seconds after touching a pad.

To Change Cook Time: Touch COOK POWER repeatedly to scroll through “MORE,” “LESS” or “NORML” time.
