NOTES:

 

1. After having used the Sensor

Cook feature a few times, you
may decide you would prefer
your food cooked to a different
doneness 

 that is why you

would utilize the More/Less 
pads.

2. When steam is detected by the

Sensor and two beeps
sound, the remaining cooking
time will appear in the display.

3. Automatic features are

provided for your convenience.
If results are not suitable to your
individual preference, or if 
serving size is other than what
is listed on page 14, please refer 
to manual cooking on page 9. 

For the best results with the 
SENSOR, follow these 
recommendations:

 

BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:

 

1. The room temperature

surrounding the oven should be
below 95° F (35° C).

2. Food weight should exceed 4

oz. (110 

g

).

3. Be sure the glass tray, the

outside of the cooking
containers and the inside
of the microwave oven are 
dry before placing food in
the oven. Residual beads of 
moisture turning into steam
can mislead the sensor.

4. Cover food with lid, or with

vented plastic wrap. Never
use tightly sealed plastic
containers

they can prevent

steam from escaping and
cause food to overcook.

DURING Reheating/Cooking:

 

DO NOT open the oven door until 
two beeps sound and cooking time 
appears in the display. Doing so 
will cause inaccurate cooking since 
the steam from food is no longer 
contained within the oven cavity. 
Once  the  cooking  time  begins 
to count down, the oven door 
may be opened to stir, turn or 
rearrange foods. 

AFTER Reheating/Cooking:

 

All foods should have a standing 
time.
