SENSOR COOKING BUTTONS
The Sensor Cooking buttons let you cook favorite foods using preset power levels and times at the touch of a button.
If the food is not thoroughly cooked or reheated when you use the auto cook feature, complete the cooking process by
selecting a power level and cooking the food for an additional amount of time.
Do not use the Sensor Cooking buttons continuously. The oven must cool for 5 minutes between uses or the
food will overcook.
CAUTION

SENSOR REHEAT BUTTON
Heating leftovers and precooked foods is easy with your new microwave. By actually sensing the humidity that
escapes as the food is heated, the oven's heating time is automatically adjusted depending on the type and amount of
precooked food.
All food must already be precooked. Plates of food and casseroles should be stored at refrigerator temperature.
Press the Sensor Reheat button and Enter/Start button to begin reheating your precooked food. The display
