Sensor Cook

The sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released 
from the food and automatically sets a cooking time based on the 
selected food category. Use the following chart as a guide.

NOTE:

 When covering foods, make sure the vent opening is large 

enough for the moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to 
accurately determine cooking time.

To Use Sensor Cook:

1.

Place food on the turntable and close the door.

2.

Touch COOK until the desired food type is displayed.

The microwave oven will start automatically after a brief 
delay.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and 
the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder 
tones.

3.

Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display and/or stop 
reminder tones.

Sensor Reheat

The sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released 
from the food and automatically sets a reheat time based on the 
selection. Use the following chart as a guide.

NOTE:

 When covering foods, make sure the vent opening is large 

enough for the moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to 
accurately determine cooking time.

To Use Sensor Reheat:

1.

Place food on the turntable and close the door.

2.

Touch REHEAT until the desired food type is displayed.

The microwave oven will start automatically after a brief 
delay.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and 
the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder 
tones.

3.

Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display and/or stop 
reminder tones.
