Operation & Hints
To Use Sensor Reheat /Sensor Cooking
Accessory needed:
Ceramic TrayThis feature allows you to reheat/cook most of your 
favorite foods without having to select reheating/cooking 
times and power levels. The oven does it all automatically.
2 Press
Cooking will start.
After steam is detected by the Genius Sensor, 
2 beeps sound.
The remaining cooking time appears in the display 
window and begins to count down. At the end of 
cooking, 5 beeps sound.
BEFORE Reheating / cooking:
1. The room temperature surrounding the oven  
should be below 95˚F (35˚C)
2.  Food weight should be between 4 oz (120 g) and 
24 oz (720 g).
3.  Be sure the Ceramic Tray, the outside of the 
cooking containers and the inside of the 
microwave oven are dry before placing food in the 
oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into 
steam can mislead the sensor.
4.  Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. 
Never use tightly sealed plastic containers—they 
can prevent steam from escaping and cause food 
to overcook.DURING Reheating / Cooking: 
DO NOT open the oven door until 2 beeps sound 
and cooking time appears on the Display Window. 
Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the 
steam from food is no longer contained within the 
oven cavity. Once the cooking time begins to count 
down, the oven door may be opened to stir, turn, or 
rearrange foods.
AFTER Reheating / Cooking
All foods should have a covered stand time.
1 Select Menu The Sensor Cook Button has 9 menus. 
See next page.
The Sensor Reheat Button can reheat 4 oz (120 g) 
to 16 oz (480 g) of food.
For your preferred Sensor Reheat/Cook 
doneness:
Preferences for food doneness vary with each 
individual. After having used the Sensor Reheat / 
Cook feature a few times, you may decide you 
would prefer your food cooked to a different 
doneness.
To adjust the Sensor Reheat/Cook time,  
use More / Less Button.
  1 press  =   More (Adds Approx. 20% time)
  2 presses =  Less (Subtracts Approx. 20% time)
  3 presses =  original setting
For best results by Sensor, follow these recommendations.
