Sensor Cook During the Sensor Cook function a sensor automatically adjusts for the cook time and power level. The microwave oven display will show the time countdown once the sensor identifies the cooking duration. If the microwave oven door is opened during a sensor function the microwave oven will turn off, and any additional operations will be canceled. For best cooking performance: Before using a sensor cook function, make sure power has been supplied to the microwave oven for at least 2 minutes, the room temperature is not above 95°F (35°C), and the outside of the cooking container and the microwave oven cavity are dry.
