Defrost Notes:
• Remove fish, shellfish, meat and
poultry from its original closed
paper or plastic package.
• Form the meat into a shape of a
doughnut before freezing.
• Remove thawed meat during
defrost and then continue defrost-
ing.
• Place foods in a shallow glass bak-
ing dish.
• The oven beeps approximately
midway through a defrost cycle to
remind you to check the food.
Pause the oven by opening the
door. Once food has been checked
or rearranged, close door and
press START/PAUSE to resume
the defrost cycle.
Sensor Operating
instructions
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most
of your favorite foods without select-
ing cooking times and power levels.
The display will indicate SENSING
during the initial sensing period. 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 will tell the
oven how much longer to heat. The
display will show the remaining heat-
ing time. For best results for cooking
by Sensor, follow these recommen-
dations.
.
.
Food cooked with the sensor
system should be at normal
storage temperature.
Glass Tray (TURNTABLE) and
outside of 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 or touch
the CANCEL/STOP pad during
the sensing time. When sensing
time is over, the oven beeps
twice 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.
Sensor Cooking Guide
Appropriate containers and cover-
ings help assure good Sensor cook-
ing results.
1. Always use microwavable con-
tainers 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.
3. Match the amount to the size of
the container. Fill containers at
least half full for best results.
.
Be sure the outside of the cook-
ing 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.
