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. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before us-
ing Sensor Cooking.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and
the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any mois-
ture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The oven works with foods at normal storage tem-
perature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.
4. Any Sensor Cooking selection can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 23.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart
should be cooked following the guidelines in any mi-
crowave cookbook.
6. During the first part of Sensor Cooking, food name
will appear on the display. Do not open the oven
door or touch
Stop/Clear
during this part of the cook-
ing cycle. The measurement of vapor will be inter-
rupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear.
To continue cooking, touch the
Stop/Clear
pad and
cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, remainder of cooking time will appear.
Door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may
stir or season food, as desired.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the cor-
rect time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does
not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods,
an error message will be displayed, and the oven
will turn off.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If addi-
tional time is needed, continue to cook manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch
Custom Help
pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the dis-
play.

Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the chart for these foods.
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 al-
low 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.
Example:
•
Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.
