Microwave sensor cooking tips Microwaving Advantium Oven The Advantium's microwave mode features sensor cooking and reheating. The oven automatically senses when food is done and shuts itself off-eliminating the need to program cook times and power levels. The sensor feature detects the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food. WARNING: Fire Risk Do not use the sensor features twice in succession on the same food portion- it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the first countdown, use COOK BY TIME for additional cooking time. The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking. n Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers-they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook. n Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor. n Popcorn and Potatoes are best heated uncovered. Covered Vented Dry off dishes so they don't mislead the sensor.
