be prepared in your microwave oven using Power
Select and Time features. Please consult Variable
Power Microwave Cookbook for procedures.
2. When cooking with Auto Sensor, do not interrupt
the oven for more than one minute for better cooking
result as long as Auto Sensor (A1-A6) is indicated in
the Display Window.
3. All foods for Auto Sensor Cooking on COOK or
COOK-WARM are taken from their normal storage
place.

4. All foods for Auto Sensor Cooking on DEFROST-
COOK or DEFROST-COOK-WARM should be
solidly frozen.
5. Before using Auto Sensor feature, make sure glass
tray in the oven is dry to assure best Auto cooking
results.
6. Room temperature or heat surrounding the oven
should not be above 95 degrees F when using the
Auto Sensor Cooking cycle. Inaccurate cooking may
result.
7. Foods less than 3 or 4 ounces should be cooked by

for concern and this never causes any microwave
leakage.
Cautions when operating the control panel.
A. Do not touch control pads with water or oil on
your finger.
When the control panel is dirty, wipe with a
damp cloth first and then finish with a soft dry
cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
B. Do not try to touch the pads while wearing
gloves or while holding any insulating materials.
C. For most accurate programming of the unit,
tap the center of each pad firmly.
D. Do not hit or strike the control panel since this
is made of glass and may be broken.
When power select is set at a setting other than High,
the intensity of the oven light will vary. This is
normal and indicates that the oven is operating
normally.
Do not put your watch directly on the turntable.
Mechanics of the turntable utilize magnetic capsules
and might damage your watch.
