Sensor Cook Operating Tips
The
Sensor Cook
categories are designed to detect the
increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking
process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically
adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food. The
food categories that are controlled with the humidity sensor
are:
• Frozen Entree
• Meat
• Seafood
For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook
categories twice in succession on the same food portion.
This may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the
food appears to be undercooked, use one of the Easy Set
pads or cook time pads to add more time.
Additional sensor cook suggestions are:
• Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.
• Use proper containers and covers for best sensor cooking
results.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them
with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use
tight sealing plastic containers. They will prevent steam
from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually
causing the food to overcook.
Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity
of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the
oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam that does not
result from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.
Frozen Entree
The frozen entree sensor setting is designed for single
frozen entree or frozen convenience foods such as frozen
dinners from 8 to 32 oz. In size (starting with Frozen Entree
temperature at 5°F).

When finished, you will hear a series of beeps. If additional
time is needed, continue cooking manually.
Notes:
• ALWAYS be sure to follow the directions that are spec for
the microwave oven that is printed on the packaging for
the food being prepared. Many times there are special
instructions to follow in order to achieve best results.
• Be sure to allow for moisture to escape from the
packaging. All frozen entree instructions specify that you
poke holes in the film covering with a fork before cooking.
• Be careful when removing the film covers after cooking
frozen convenience foods. Remove facing away from you
to avoid steam burns.
• If the food is not done when the cook time is done finish
cooking manually.
