Microwave Sensor Cooking
The sensor feature detects the increasing humidity
released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts
the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession
on the same food portion— it may result in severely
overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after
the first countdown, use Cook By Time for additional
cooking time.
The proper containers and covers are essential for
best sensor cooking.
■ Alwaysusemicrowave-safecontainersandcover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight
sealing plastic containers—they can prevent steam
from escaping and cause food to overcook.
■ Besuretheoutsideofthecookingcontainersand
the inside of the oven are dry before placing food in
the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can
mislead the sensor.
■ Beveragesarebestheateduncovered.

Dry off dishes so they don’t
mislead the sensor.
To Use All Sensor Programs
Upper Oven microwave mode features sensor cooking. It
automatically senses when food is done and shuts itself
off—eliminating the need to program cook times and
power levels.
1. Press the Microwave pad and turn the selector dial
to Cook By Food Type or Reheat. Press the selector
dial to enter.
2. Turn the selector dial to select the food you want.
Press the selector dial to enter.
3. Press the selector dial or press the Start/Pause pad
to start cooking.
Do not open the oven door until time is counting down
in the display or the microwave stop cooking. If the door
is opened, close it and press Start/Pause immediately.
If the food is not done enough, use Cook By Time in the
microwave selector to cook for more time.
NOTE: Do not use the Sensor Features twice in
succession on the same food portion—it may result in
severely overcooked or burnt food.
■ Ifyouhavebeenspeedcookingandtheovenis
already hot, it may indicate that it is too hot for sensor
cooking. Of course, you can always continue with
Cook By Time.
NOTE: If the oven is too hot then it will automatically
change to time cooking.
■ Toshortenorlengthenthecooktime,waituntilthe

Notes about the Reheat program:
Reheated foods may have wide variations in
temperature. Some areas may be extremely hot.
It is best to use Cook By Time and not Reheat for these
foods:
■ Breadproducts
■ Foodthatmustbereheateduncovered.
■ Foodsthatneedtobestirredorturned.
