USING ThE SENSOR COOkING bUTTONS
The sensor Cooking buttons consist of frequently used settings allowing you to select them quickly 
and conveniently. Use the more (9)/less (1) buttons to set your temperature preference. If the food is 
not thoroughly cooked or reheated when using the auto cook feature, complete the cooking process by 
selecting a power level and cooking time.
Do not continuously use the sensor Cooking buttons. The oven must cool for 5 minutes between 
uses or the food will overcook.
Sensor cooking utensils & covers
To obtain good cooking results using these functions, follow the directions for selecting the 
appropriate containers and covers in the Cookware section on p31.
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. When using p\
lastic 
wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape.
Always use the proper lid for the container. If the utensil does not have its own lid, use 
plastic wrap.
Fill containers at least half full.
Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned at the end of the Sensor 
Cook cycle, when the time has started to count down on the display.
Do not use the Auto Sensor cooking feature continuously. Wait 5 minutes before selecting 
another sensor cooking operation.
To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto Sensor when the room ambient temperature is 
too high or too low.
