Sensor Cook Feature This sensor feature allows you to cook food without setting time. The oven simplifies programming. Example: To cook Frozen Entrées Step1. • Press Sensor Cook until the desired food number appears on the display window Press 6 times Step2. or (see More/Less Feature.) (page 17) Optional Step3. • Press Start. Cooking starts. Cooking is complete when 5 beeps sound. (For some menus, when steam is detected by the Genius Sensor and 2 beeps sound, the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. For the best results with the GENIUS SENSOR, follow these recommendations. BEFORE Reheating/Cooking: 1. The room temperature surrounding the oven should be below 35 °C (95 °F). 2. Food weight should exceed 110 g (4 oz.). 3. Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor. 4. Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. Never use tightly sealed plastic containers-they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook. DURING Reheating/Cooking: DO NOT open the oven door until 2 beeps sound and cooking time appears on the Display Window. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity. Once the cooking time begins to count down, the oven door may be opened to stir, turn or rearrange foods for some menus. AFTER Reheating/Cooking: All foods should have a stand time. 20 1"@'#5$1@&OHJOEE
