02 USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
USING THE SENSOR COOK BUTTONS
The Sensor Cook 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 Cook 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 p23.
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. When using plastic 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.

FOOD AMOUNT PROCEDURE
Popcorn
3.0 - 3.5 oz

when removing and opening the heated bag from the oven. Let
the oven cool for at least 5 minutes before using it again.
Potatoes 1 to 6 potatoes.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Place on the
turntable in a spoke-like fashion. After cooking, let the potatoes
stand for 3-5 minutes. Let the oven cool for at least 5 minutes
before using it again.
Beverage 8 oz.
Use a measuring cup or mug and do not cover. Place the
beverage in the oven. After heating, stir well. Let the oven cool
for at least 5 minutes before using it again.
The correct food temperature varies from person to person. Use the More (9)/Less (1) buttons to select
your personal temperature preference.
USING THE AUTO DEFROST BUTTON
The defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost cycle provides you with the best defrosting method
for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets the defrosting times according to the entered weight.
For added convenience, the auto defrost function beeps to remind you to check or turn over the food during
the defrost cycle.
Press the Auto Defrost button once and select the food weight. The available weight ranges from 0.1 to 6.0
lbs.
1. Press the Auto Defrost button.
2. Use the number buttons to enter the weight or press the Auto Defrost button to select weight.
3. Unit automatic on.
After the start, the display counts down the defrosting time. The oven will beep twice during the defrost
cycle. At this time, open the door and turn the food as needed. Remove any thawed portions, then
return the frozen portions to the oven and press the START button to resume the defrost cycle.
The defrost cycle continues while the oven is beeping and only stops when the door is opened.
