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:
Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.
Use proper containers and covers for best sensor
cooking results.
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them
with loose
ng 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.
