Sensor Cook Operation Sensor cook operating tips Sensor reheat (cont'd) The Sensor Cook catagories 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 the type and amount of food. The food catagories that are controlled with the humidity sensor are: • sensor reheat • frozen pizza • fish • meat • fresh veggie • frozen veggie • potato • frozen entrée For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook catagories twice in succession on the same food portion - this may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the food appears to be undercooked, use one of the EasySet pads or cook time pads to add more time. Additional sensor cook suggestions are: • Never start with less than 4 oz. of food. • Use proper containers and covers for best sensor cooking results. • 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. • Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam not resulting from the food cooking can mislead the sensor. Sensor reheat The sensor 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 the type and amount of food. The food types to avoid using the reheat are; • Uncooked or raw foods. • Bread and other dry types of food such as crackers, biscuits or cakes. • Beverages or frozen foods. • Frozen pizza. Notes concerning sensor reheat: • For casseroles - add 2 to 3 tablespoons of liquid, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap.
