12 OPERATION
Using the Sensor Functions
This microwave oven has sensor features for
convenient operation of the microwave. Select the
type of food to cook, reheat, or defrost popular
food items automatically using preprogrammed
settings. The sensor system works by detecting
built up steam.
• Make sure the door remains closed.
• 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 loosely 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 microwave oven are dry
before placing food in the oven. Beads of
moisture turning into steam can mislead the
sensor.
