Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your 

favorite foods without selecting cooking times 

and power levels. The display will indicate 

Sensing during the initial sensing period. 

The oven automatically determines required 

cooking time for each food item. When the 

internal sensor detects a certain amount of 

humidity coming from the food, it will tell the 

oven how much longer to heat. The display 

will show the remaining heating time. For best 

results for cooking by Sensor, follow these 

recommendations.

1.   Food cooked with the sensor system should 

be at normal storage temperature. 

2.  Glass Tray (TURNTABLE) and outside of 

container should be dry to assure best 

cooking results.

3.  Foods should always be covered with 

microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, 

or a lid.

4.  Do not open the door or touch the 

STOP 

key 

during the sensing time. When sensing time 

is over, the oven beeps and the remaining 

cooking time will appear in the display 

window. 

At this time you can open the door to stir, 

turn, or rearrange the food.

SENSOR OPERATING 

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Appropriate containers and coverings help 

assure good Sensor cooking results.

1.  Always use microwavable containers and 

cover them with lids or plastic wrap.

2.  Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They 

can prevent steam from escaping and cause 

food to overcook.

3.  Match the amount to the size of the container.  

Fill containers at least half full for best 

results.

4.  Be sure the outside of the cooking container 

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.
