Sensor/Auto Cook Mode

Sensor Cooking Bacon

This feature is only available on some models.

The Sensor system works by detecting built up steam. The oven automatically adjusts cooking times, the amount of food, and power levels.

  • Open the oven door. Press STOP/Clear.

  • Press Sensor Cook repeatedly until Sc-6 appears in the display.

    • Code: Sc-1 to Sc-7

  • Close the oven door. Press START/Enter.

Note
  • Opening the door or pressing the STOP/Clear button before the steam is detected will stop the process and the oven.

  • Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good sensor cooking results.

    • Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

    • Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

    • Match the amount to the size of the container.

    • Fill containers at least half full.

    • 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.

Auto Cooking Bacon

This feature is only available on some models.

Auto Cook has preprogrammed settings to automatically cook certain foods. Select the desired food item, and enter the amount. The oven automatically cooks the item.

  • Open the oven door. Press STOP/Clear.

  • Press Auto Cook repeatedly until Ac-1 appears in the display.

    • Code: Ac-1 to Ac-7

  • Press + until the correct amount appears in the display.

  • Close the oven door. Press START/Enter.
