SENSOR REHEAT
SENSOR REHEAT allows you to reheat a chilled meal with one press of pad. It is not necessary to select power level or cooking time. The built-in sensor measures the humidity of the food and calculates the cooking time.

  1. Press SENSOR REHEAT pad.
  2. Press START/+30 SEC pad. The “SENSOR” and “REHEAT” is displayed.

SENSOR OPERATIONS
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.

Using Sensor Settings

  1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using Sensor Cook.
  2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
  3. The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature.
  4. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
  5. Do not open the oven door or press STOP/CLEAR pad until cooking time appears on the display window. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of the cooking time will appear. The door may be opened when the remaining cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
  6. 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.
  7. Check food for temperature or doneness after cooking. If food is not completely cooked, enter additional cooking time manually. 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.

Covering Foods
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the Sensor Cook Chart for these foods.

  1. Casserole lid.
  2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover the dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
  3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If the dish is wider than the paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover. Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE OVEN.

  • Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
  • Wipe the oven interior wth a soft damp cloth after each use.
  • If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke, or even catch fire when next using the oven.
