OPERATION
SENSOR OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
ADDING OR SUBTRACTING
COOK TIME
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite
foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.
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 heat. The
display will show the remaining heating time. For best
results for cooking by Sensor, following these
recommendations.
By using the MORE or LESS pads all of the sensor
cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook
food for a longer or shorter time. Pressing MORE will
add 10 seconds of cooking time each time you press
it. Pressing LESS will subtract 10 seconds of cooking
time each time you press it.
POPCORN
POPCORN lets you pop commercially packaged
microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time.
For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
Example: To pop popcorn.
2. Glass Tray and outside of container should be dry to
assure best cooking results.
1. Touch POPCORN pad.
When the cook time is over,
you will hear four beeps and
END will display.
3. 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
key during the sensing time. When the sensing time
has ended, the oven beeps twice 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.
• Recommended amount : 3.0 ~ 3.5 ozs.
CAUTION
Do not leave microwave oven unattended while
popping. When popping commercially packaged
popcorn, Remove the rack from the oven; Do not
place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or
under the rack.
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good
Sensor cooking results.
1. Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam 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.

DEFROSTING TIPS
• 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.
4. Touch START pad.
NOTE:
• After you touch START, the display counts down the
defrost time. The oven will beep once during the
Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn,
separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove
any portions that have thawed then return frozen
portions to the oven and touch START to resume the
defrost cycle.
• 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.
• The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless
the door is opened.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
pieces defrost more easily.
• You can use small pieces of aluminum 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.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they
start to become warm.
• For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting
rack.
• For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on a
microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents the
possibility of warm meat juices cooking food during
defrost.

and follow the guidelines below.
roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the
cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave
energy.
• Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the dish.
• Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier
parts toward the outside of the dish.
• Shield, with Small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of
food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg
ends of poultry.
• Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the
microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let
it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid
overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing
time depends on the density and surface area of the
food.
• Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer
or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same
foods at room temperature. The time for recipes in
this book is based on the normal storage temperature
of the food.
• Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large
ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more
evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when
cooking large pieces of food.
• Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more
evenly because microwave energy is attracted to
water molecules.
• Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:
Sandwiches and many other foods containing
prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to
microwaving to prevent drying out.
• Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from
the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly
and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not
necessary.
Fish & Shellfish
Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions
• Prepare the fish for cooking.
- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done
- Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.
- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts

single layer for even cooking.
when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to
flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from
pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.
- The type of cover you use depends on how you
cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or
vented plastic wrap.
• The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides
specific directions with Power Level and Cooking
Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish.
- Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be
covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating
crisp and sauce from getting watery.

Appetizers / Sauces / Soups
Meat
Cooking Appetizers: Tips and
Techniques
Cooking Meat: General Directions
• Prepare the meat for cooking.
- Defrost completely.
Recommended
- Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering.
- Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable
rack in a microwavable dish.
- Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat.
- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward
the outside of the dish.
- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent
splattering.
• Tend the meat as it cooks.
• Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded wheat,
and crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use.
Wait until party time to add the spreads. Place a
paper towel under the crackers while they cook in the
microwave oven to absorb extra moisture.
• Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even
cooking.
• Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.
- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce
splattering and keep from overcooking the bottom of
the meat.
- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to
prevent overcooking.
Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques
• Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring
cup that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the
sauce.
• Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly
than those made with flour.
NOTE: Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven
walls, and do not cover more than one-third of the
meat with foil at any one time.
Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques
• Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds
double the volume of the recipe ingredients to prevent
boil-over, especially if you use cream or milk in the
soup.
• Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes
after you remove it from the oven. The internal
temperature of the meat may rise an additional
5-10°F during standing time.
• Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED
plastic wrap or a microwavable lid.
• Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods to
retain crispness.
• Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested
time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking
the food.
The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides
detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time
settings for most cuts of meat.
Not Recommended
• Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are best
done in a conventional oven with dry heat.
• Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave
oven but will not come out crisp.
• Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour uncovered
so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during cooking for a
smooth consistency.
• To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe,
reduce the amount of liquid slightly.
• Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors, distribute
heat evenly, and may even shorten the cooking time.
• When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook
in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong
seasonings.

Pasta And Rice
Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta,
rice, and cereal require about the same amount of time,
but the microwave is a more convenient method
because you can cook and serve in the same dish.
There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes
just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave
oven.
Cooking Pasta and Rice: Tips and Techniques

MAINTENANCE
5. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.
NOTE: Do not operate the hood without the filter in
place.
CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean
inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner
door panel and the oven front frame free of food or
grease build-up.
CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT
If your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter should
be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if
necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned.
To order a new charcoal filter, contact the Parts
Department at your nearest Authorized Service Center.

magnetron tube cycles on and off.
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it?
A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to
the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after
cooking. The dish may not be microwave safe.
Q. What does standing time mean?
A. Standing time means that food should be taken out
of the oven and covered for additional time after
cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish,
saves energy, and frees the oven for other purposes.
4. Push the hook.
Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer’s guidelines or use the
preprogrammed Popcorn pad.
Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening
test by stopping the oven as soon as the popping
slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not try
to repop unpropped kernels. You can also use
special microwave poppers. When using a popper,
be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not
pop popcorn in glass utensils.
5. Lift up the bulb holder.
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust
vent?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this
steam out the vent.

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
USE
DO NOT USE
OVENPROOF GLASS
METAL UTENSILS:
(treated for high intensity heat):
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie
plates, cake plates, liquid
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.
measuring cups, casseroles and
bowls without metallic trim.
METAL DECORATION:
CHINA:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,
etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may
damage the oven.
Bowls, cups, serving plates and
platters without metallic trim.
PLASTIC:
ALUMINUM FOIL:
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.
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:
PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
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.
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.
METAL TWIST TIES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a fire.

check may prevent an unneeded service call.
If food cooks unevenly:
• be sure food is evenly shaped.
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.
•
check placement of aluminum foil strips used to prevent
overcooking.
If nothing on the oven operates:
• check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main
circuit breaker.

in house.
If food is undercooked:
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time,
and power levels) were correctly followed.
• be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit.
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.
• check that controls are set properly.
If the oven interior light does not works:
If food is overcooked:

If the Display shows a time counting down but the
oven is not cooking:
• check that door is firmly closed.
• check that timer wasn’t started instead of a cooking
function.
If the time of day clock does not always keep
correct time:
• check that the power cord is fully inserted into the
outlet receptacle.
Vent fan starts automatically:
• be sure the oven is the only appliance on the
electrical circuit.
• If the temperature gets too hot around the microwave
oven, the fan in the vent hood will automatically turn
on to cool the oven. It may stay on up to an hour to
