Sensor Cooking
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
fi
rst countdown, use
Cook by Time
for additional
cooking time.
The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.

sealing plastic containers

• 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.
• Popcorn and potatoes are best heated uncovered.
