PROGRAMMED COOKING

Sensor Cooking

Some automatic cycles are sensor cycles. See “Cook Method

Chart.” No amounts need to be entered. A sensor in the oven

detects humidity released from the food as it heats, and adjusts

the cook time accordingly. The progress bar appears during

sensing (see “Progress Bar” section).

Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwavable

containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are recommended.

The loose-fitting 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.

NOTES:

■ The oven should be plugged in for at least 2 minutes.

■ The oven cavity and the exterior of the cooking container

should be dry.

■ The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).

■ If the door is opened during a sensor cycle, sensing will stop

and the program will be canceled.

Preheating

Preheating of the browning pan is programmed in many

automatic cooking cycles. This preheating phase may also be

skipped by touching “Skip Preheat.”

For optimal results, we recommend completing the preheating

phase of each cycle in which preheating is programmed.

Doneness

Doneness for food items may be adjusted for most automatic

cycles. Before starting a cycle, touch “Doneness” on the touch

screen, and adjust the doneness with “+” (more done) or “-” (less

done) controls. The “+” control adds to, and the “-” control

subtracts from the recommended default cook time.

The more done and less done settings in most foods for which

doneness may be adjusted are equal. That is, the same amount

of time may be added to or subtracted from the cycle. Some of

the Meat and Poultry cycles have only the more done settings.

Popcorn

Popcorn is a sensor function. The sensor determines the

appropriate popping time of commercially packaged

microwavable popcorn.

The sensor will determine accurate popping times for bag sizes:

3.5 oz (99 g), 3.0 oz (85 g) or 1.75 oz (50 g). For bag sizes not

listed in this section, follow package directions.

■ Do not place bag on cooking rack.

■ Do not use regular paper bags or glassware.

■ Pop only 1 package of popcorn at a time.

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using a microwave

popcorn popper.

■ Listen for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 to 2 seconds,

then stop the cycle. Do not try to pop unpopped kernels.

■ Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results.

■ Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content.

To Use Popcorn:

1. Place popcorn bag on the turntable and close the door.

2. Touch POPCORN control.

The oven will start automatically. The display will show when

the oven is sensing, and will start counting down the time

when sensing has finished.

When the cycle ends, the end-of-cycle tones will sound,

followed by reminder tones.

3. Touch OFF control or open the door to stop reminder tones.

The display will return to the Main Menu after OFF control is

touched.
