Sensor Cook

A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from
food as it heats and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.
Use microwave-safe dish with loose-fitting lid or cover microwave-
safe dish with plastic wrap and vent.
For best cooking performance:
Before using a Sensor Cook function, make sure power has been
supplied to the microwave oven for at least 2 minutes, the room
temperature is not above 95°F (35°C), and the outside of the
cooking container and the microwave oven cavity are dry. For
optimal performance, wait at least 30 minutes after convection
cooking before sensor cooking.

Convect

Convection cooking uses the convection element and the fan.
Hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity by the fan. The
constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion
quickly.
The convect function may be used to cook small amounts of
■
food on a single rack.
Metal cookware and bakeware may be used on Convect
■
Bake cycles. Use ovenproof, microwave-safe cookware for
Convection Roast cycles.
Always use the convection rack placed on the turntable.
■
Always use the turntable On option when convection cooking
■
with the convection rack (default setting).
Do not cover turntable or convection rack with aluminum foil.
■
Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper
■
products.
Use convection cooking for items such as breads, cookies,
■
cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.
