43 Setting Microwave Controls Sensor Cook 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. The food categories that are controlled with the humidity sensor are shown in Table 7. Table 12: Sensor Settings Key Press Sensor Cook x1 Food Frozen breakfast (8-12 oz.) Sensor Cook x2 Ground meat Sensor Cook x3 Fish or seafood Sensor Cook x4 Chicken breast For best results, 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. If the food appears to be under-cooked, use one of the Easy Set pads or cook time pads to add more time. Additional sensor cook suggestions are: • Never start with less than 4 oz. of food. • For best sensor cooking results, use proper containers and covers or wrap food with plastic. • Always use microwave-safe containers. Never use tight-sealing plastic containers. They will prevent steam from escaping, and this will mislead the sensor, usually causing the food to overcook. Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity of the microwave oven are dry before placing food inside. Excessive moisture turning into steam that does not result from the food cooking can mislead the sensor. To set Sensor Cook: 1. Press Sensor Cook until the correct food type displays. 2. Press START. When the food is ready, three long tones sound, and "FOOD READY" shows in the display. Reheat The reheat feature is 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.
