  2. Half well cooked, half undercooked.

    The cooking result will change when using for a long time continuously to protect internal delicate parts of the food. It is not a malfunction. This is a common characteristic of the Inverter microwave technology. If the food is undercooked, please set a longer time.

  3. Food covered with plastic or wrap.

    • Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

    • Avoid using tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

    • Fill containers with food at least half full for best results.

    • Ensure that 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.

    When using sensor cook, sensor cook will detect the best cooking time using the steam from the food. If the food is not as hot as want, use normal time cook to add more heat.
