Sensor Cooking
A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from
the food as it heats, and adjusts the cook time accordingly.
Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwave-
safe containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are
recommended. The loose-fitting lid allows enough steam to
escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods with
plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to
allow the steam to escape.
NOTES:
■
The microwave oven should be plugged in for at least
3 minutes.
■
The microwave oven cavity and the exterior of the cooking
container should be dry.
■
The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
■
If the door is opened during a sensor cycle, sensing will stop
and the program will be canceled.
System Cooking
Use the following chart as a guide for the SENSOR pads.
*Do not use regular paper bags or glassware. For bag sizes not
listed in this section, follow instructions on the package. Listen
for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then stop the
cycle. Do not try to pop unpopped kernels. Use fresh bags of
popcorn for optimal results. Cooking results may vary by brand
and fat content. If using a microwave popcorn popper, follow
manufacturer’s instructions.
To Use the 6th SENSE™ System:
1. Place food on the turntable, and close the door.
2. Touch one of the SENSOR pads.
The microwave oven will automatically turn on when
POPCORN, BAKED POTATO or DINNER PLATE is touched.
The Progress Bar will show the approximate time remaining.
If more or less time is required (for BAKED POTATO and
DINNER PLATE only), touch COOK POWER after the
microwave oven starts to cook.
When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder
tones.
3. Touch CANCEL or open the door to clear the display and/or
stop reminder tones.
