to achieve the best results. If the details are not followed carefully, the food may be overcooked or 
undercooked.

ONE TOUCH  REHEATING
For your convenience one touch reheating allows you to easily reheat by automatic sensor function.
Do not cook small quantities of food or foods which have a low water content such as bread or grilled food.
Do not use SENSOR REHEAT key to reheat beverages. We recommend using the BEVERAGES key 
instead. (To prevent sudden boiling)

Cautions:
•  Remove all protective covers eg: films/foils/lids before heating a dinner plate.
•  Do not use containers which are unsuitable for microwave use.
•  Do not use aluminum containers or foil. As this may cause arcing when heating and may cause the oven to 

malfunction.
