Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that
detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted
from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the
cooking times and power level for various foods and
quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container
and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
2. The oven works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at
room temperature.
3. Any Sensor Cook selection can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 29.
4. More or less food than the quantity listed in the
chart should be cooked following the guidelines in
any microwave cookbook.
5. During the first part of cooking with Sensor
function, selected food number will appear on the
display. Do not open the oven door or press
Stop/
Clear
during this part of the cooking cycle. The
measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this
occurs, an error message will appear. To continue
cooking, press
Stop/Clear
and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, the remainder of cooking time will appear.
The door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears in the display. At this time, you may
stir or season food, as desired.
6. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly, Err
will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.
7. Check food for temperature or doneness after
cooking. If food is not completely cooked, enter
additional cooking time manually. Do not repeat
cooking with Sensor function again as food may
overcook.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the chart.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately
1
/
2
-inch to remain uncovered to
allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not
touch food.
3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess
wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than
paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to
cover.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow
steam to escape away from you.
* Suppose you want to pop a regular size popcorn with
Standard time.
