Use Sensor Cook to heat common microwave-prepared foods without needing to program times and power levels. Sensor Cook has preset programs for 9 food categories. See the Sensor Cook Menu for more information.
This function reheats favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it tells the oven how much longer to heat.
The display shows the remaining heating time. For best results when sensor cooking, follow these recommendations.
Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.
The glass tray and the outside of the container should be dry to assure best cooking results.
Foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
Do not open the door during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.
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 for best results.
Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the upper oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
