Operating Instructions
SENSOR OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook allows you to cook
most of your favorite foods without
selecting cooking times and power
levels. The display will indicate the
sensing period by scrolling the name
of the food. The oven automatically
determines required cooking time for
each food item. When the internal
sensor detects a certain amount
of humidity coming from the food, it
will tell the oven how much longer
to cook. The display will show the
remaining heating time.
For best results when cooking
by Sensor, follow these
recommendations:
1. Food cooked with the sensor
system should be at normal
storage temperature.
2. Glass turntable and outside of
container should be dry to assure
best cooking results.
3. Most foods should always be
covered loosely with microwavable
plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
4. Do not open the door or touch
the STOP/CLEAR pad during the
sensing time. When sensing time
is over, the oven beeps and the
remaining cooking time will appear
in the display window. At this time
you can open the door to stir, turn,
or rearrange the food.
IMPORTANT:
When using sensor cook, the oven
must cool for 5 minutes between
uses or food will not cook properly.

results.

from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
3. Match the amount to the size of the
container. Fill containers at least
half full for best results.
4. Be sure the outside of the cooking
container and the inside of the
microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of
moisture turning into steam can
mislead the sensor.
NOTE:
If food is not thoroughly cooked or
reheated when using the sensor
feature, complete using a power
level and cooking time. DO NOT
continue using the sensor pad.
ADDING OR

covered with foil, for 5-
10 minutes.
Remove giblets before
freezing poultry. Start
defrosting with the
breast side down.
After the first stage,
turn the chicken over
and shield any warm
)ortions with narrow
strips of aluminum foil.
After the second stage,
again shield any warm
)ortions with narrow
strips of aluminum foil.
Let stand, covered for
30-60 minutes in the
refrigerator.
After each stage,
rearrange or remove
any pieces of food that
are nearly defrosted. Let
stand for 10-20 minutes.
DEFROSTTIPS
, When using AUTO DEFROST, the
weight to be entered is the net weight in
pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight
of the food minus the container).
, Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw
food. AUTO DEFROST gives best
results when food to be thawed is a
minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a
true freezer). If food has been stored
in a refrigerator-freezer that does not
maintain a temperature of 5°F or below,
always program a lower food weight (for
a shorter defrosting time) to prevent
cooking the food.
, If the food is stored outside the freezer
for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food
weight.
,, The shape of the package alters the
defrosting time. Shallow rectangular
packets defrost more quickly than a
deep block.
, Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
, Shield areas of food with small pieces of
foil if they start to become warm.
, You can use small pieces of ah-minum
foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg
tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not
touch the side of the oven. Foil causes
arcing, which can damage the oven
lining.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave
* Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.
Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave
• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as
potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about 1A cup water.
• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.
• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable
before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time has passed.
• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the
tips toward the center.
• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots
before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.
• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense,
large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the
counter for five minutes, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

Cooking Utensils
MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
OVEN PROOF GLASS (treated for
high intensity heat):
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie
plates, cake plates, liquid
measuring cups, casseroles and
bowls without metallic trim.
CHINA:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and
platters without metallic trim.
PLASTIC:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the
plastic wrap loosely over the dish
and press it to the sides.
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one
edge slightly to allow excess steam
to escape. The dish should be deep
enough so that the plastic wrap will
not touch the food. As the food heats
it may melt the plastic wrap wherever
the wrap touches the food.
Use plastic dishes, cups, semirigid
freezer containers and plastic bags
only for short cooking times.
Use these with care because the
plastic may soften from the heat
of the food.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins, and paper plates with no
metallic trim or design. Look for the
manufacturer's label for use in the
microwave oven.
METAL UTENSILS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven
cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal
utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The
metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.
ALUMINUM FOIL:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may
cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and
wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls and door
of the oven.
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you
use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils.
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.
Tightly closed pouches could explode.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the oven.
M ETAL TWIST TI ES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a fire.

Care and Cleaning
CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety,
keep the oven clean inside and out-side.
Take special care to keep the inner door
panel and the oven front frame free of
food or grease build-up. Never use rough
powder or pads. Wipe the microwave
oven inside and out, including the hood
bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a
warm (not hot) mild detergent solution.
Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a chrome
cleaner and polish on chrome, metal
and aluminum surfaces• Wipe spatters
immediately with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking chicken or bacon•
Clean your oven weekly or more often, if
needed•
Follow these instructions to clean and
care for your oven.
,, Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food
particles and spilled liquids can stick to
the oven walls, causing the oven to work
less efficiently.
,, Wipe up spills immediately• Use a damp
cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives•
,, To help loosen baked on food particles
or liquids, heat two cups of water (add
the juice of one lemon if you desire
to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup
measuring glass at High power for five
minutes or until boiling• Let stand in the
oven for one or two minutes•
,, Remove the glass tray from the oven
when cleaning the oven or tray. To
prevent the tray from breaking, handle
it carefully and do not put it in water
immediately after cooking. Wash the tray
carefully in warm sudsy water or in the
dishwasher•
,, Clean the outside surface of the oven
with soap and a damp cloth. Dry with
a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts of the oven, don't let
water seep into the openings.
,, Wash the door window with very mild
soap and water. Be sure to use a soft
cloth to avoid scratching.
,, If steam accumulates inside or outside
the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth•
Steam can accumulate when operating
the oven in high humidity and in no way
indicates microwave leakage•
,, Never operate the oven without food in
it; this can damage the magnetron tube
or glass tray. You may wish to leave a
cup of water in the oven when it is not
in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
CLEANING THE GREASE
FILTER
The grease filter should be removed
and cleaned often, at least once a
month•
• To remove grease filter, slide filter
