Understanding Doneness Control

For many cooking functions, the screen displays a “Doneness” bar which you control by turning the MICRO-DIALTMcontrol toward Plus or Minus.

For most foods, the maximum and minimum “Doneness” settings add or subtract about 6% from Normal cook time.

For Defrost, the controlled percentage depends on food type and weight.

NOTE: When the “Doneness” function is completed for a specific food, the “Doneness” bar stays at that setting. It does not re-set to the previous setting.

Understanding Sensor Cooking

Food releases humidity during cooking/heating. How much humidity food releases is affected by the quantity, temperature and shape of the food. Your microwave oven has a sensor that detects this

humidity. The amount of humidity detected tells the oven how long to cook or heat your food. Just set the MICRO-DIAL control for the food you want to cook or heat.
