Sensor Cooking

The 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.

Potatoes	10-13 oz	with a fork. Place on turntable
	(283-369 g)	around edges, at least 1"
	each	(2.5 cm) apart. At the end of
		cooking, let stand 5 minutes
		after cooking.
Frozen	1-4 cups	Remove from package. Place in
Vegetables	(250 mL-1 L)	microwavable container. Cover
