Sensor Operations

The

Sensor Cook

 categories are designed to detect the

increasing  humidity  released  by  the  food  during  the
cooking  process.  The  microwave  oven  sensor  will
automatically  adjust  the  cooking  time  to  the  type  and
amount of food. The food categories that are controlled
with the humidity sensor are::

Sensor Cook Operating Tips

For  best  results,  do  not  use  one  of  the  Sensor  Cook
categories twice in succession on the same food portion.

This may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the

food appears to be undercooked, use one of the Easy Set
pads or cook time pads to add more time.

Additional sensor cook suggestions are:

Ÿ

  Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.

Ÿ

  Use  proper  containers  and  covers  for  best  sensor

cooking results.

Ÿ

  Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them

with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use
tight sealing plastic containers. They will prevent steam
from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually
causing the food to overcook.

Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity
of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the
oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam that does not
result from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.

Notes:

Ÿ

ALWAYS

  be  sure  to  follow  the  directions  that  are

specific for the microwave oven that is printed on the
packaging for the food being prepared. Many times
there  are  special  instructions  to  follow  in  order  to
achieve best results.

Ÿ

  Be  sure  to  allow  for  moisture  to  escape  from  the

packaging. All frozen entree instructions specify that
you poke holes in the film covering with a fork before
cooking.

Ÿ

  Be careful when removing the film covers after cooking

frozen convenience foods. Remove facing away from
you to avoid steam burns.
