Sensor Cook
The sensor in the microwave drawer detects humidity released
from the food and automatically sets a cooking time based on the
selected food category.
NOTE: When covering foods, make sure the vent opening is
large enough for moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to
accurately determine cooking time.
Use the following chart as a guide for Sensor Cooking.
