Auto sensor cooking instructions
The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detecting the amount of gases generated from the food while cooking.
• When cooking food, many kinds of gases are generated. The Auto
Sensor determines the proper time and power level by detecting these gases from the food, eliminating the need to set the cooking time and power level.
• When you cover a container with its lid or plastic wrap during Sensor
Cooking, the Auto Sensor will detect the gases generated after the container has been saturated with steam.
• Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin its count down. This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the food for even cooking if it is necessary.
• Before auto sensor cooking food may be seasoned with herbs, spices or browning sauces. A word of caution though, salt or sugar may cause burn spots on food so these ingredients should be added after cooking.
Utensils & Cover for sensor cooking
• To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for selecting appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape at the proper rate.
• Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. 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 toward the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the display.
