This explanation is shared only by models whose manufacturer documents the same code, meaning, and guidance.
Manufacturer guidance
- Record the chosen sensor mode and whether the door was opened before the remaining time appeared.
- Press CANCEL to clear the documented early-opening message, then choose a suitable fresh cycle; use Cook Time if food remains underheated after a completed sensor cycle.
