About the sensor microwave features.

Humidity Sensor
What happens when using the Sensor Features:
The Sensor Features detect 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 countdown, use Time Cook
for additional cooking time.
NOTE: Sensor features will not operate when the oven is hot. If one of the sensor cooking
pads is touched when the temperature inside the oven is greater than 200°F, “OVEN TOO
HOT FOR SENSOR COOKING---USING ALTERNATE METHOD” will be displayed. The oven will
automatically change to cook by time (follow the directions in the display) or once the oven
is cool enough, the sensor features will function normally.
■
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 microwave oven
are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead
the sensor.
Dry off dishes so they don’t mislead
the sensor.
