Sensor Cooking Information
A sensor in the microwave drawer detects humidity released from
the food as it heats and adjusts the cook time accordingly.
Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwave-safe
containers or steamers with loose-tting lids are recommended.
The loose-tting lid allows enough steam to escape to be detected
by the sensor. When covering foods with plastic wrap, be sure to
leave a large enough vent opening to allow the steam to escape.
Sensor cooking options include Sensor Popcorn, Sensor Cook,
and Sensor Reheat.
NOTES:
■ The microwave drawer should be plugged in for at least
3 minutes before using any sensor setting.
■ The microwave drawer cavity and the exterior of the cooking
container should be dry.
■ The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
■ Once the sensor cycle begins, the food name will appear on
the display. If the drawer is opened during this time, sensing
will stop and the program will be canceled. When sensing is
complete, a remaining time will appear on the display. Once
the time is displayed, you may open the drawer to stir or
season food, if desired.
■ Check food temperature after cycle is complete. If additional
time is needed, continue to cook using the manual settings.
■ Except when using Sensor Popcorn, if the sensor does not
detect humidity properly, “ERROR” will be displayed, and the
microwave drawer will turn off.
■ The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. If
your food is frozen, it will need to be defrosted before using a
sensor cycle.
Sensor Reheat
The sensor in the microwave drawer determines the reheating time
based on the weight of the food being heated.
Sensor Reheat will detect humidity and reheat food items from 4 to
36 oz (113-1020 g).
To Use Sensor Reheat:
1. Place food, loosely covered, in the microwave drawer, and close
the drawer.
2. Touch SENSOR REHEAT.
3. Touch START.
When the cycle ends, “LET STAND COVERED” will appear in
the display, and end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by
reminder tones.
4. Touch STOP or open the drawer to clear the display.
Sensor Popcorn
The sensor in the microwave drawer determines the appropriate
popping time of commercially packaged microwavable popcorn.
This function is programmed to detect popping times for 3.5-oz
(99 g), 3.0-oz (85 g) and 1.75-oz (50 g) bags.
NOTE: During Popcorn function, as with all microwave cooking
functions, the microwave drawer should be attended at all times.
Listen for popping to slow to one pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then
stop the cycle.
■ To avoid damage to the microwave drawer, do not use regular
paper bags or glassware.
■ Pop only one package of popcorn at a time.
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using a microwave
popcorn popper.
■ For best cooking results, do not try to pop unpopped kernels.
■ Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results.
■ Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content. For bag
sizes not listed in this section, follow directions on the package.
■ Cooking results may vary based on location of bag on the oor
of the microwave drawer. Try changing bag location to achieve
best results.
To Use Sensor Popcorn:
1. Place popcorn bag in the microwave drawer, and close the
drawer.
2. Touch SENSOR POPCORN once for Regular (2.85-3.5 oz
[81-99 g]), or twice for Snack (1.2-1.6 oz [34-45 g]).
Doneness may be adjusted at this time by touching
POWER LEVEL.
3. Touch START.
When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and
end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder tones.
4. Touch STOP or open the drawer to clear the display.
