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 two minutes before
using Sensor Cooking.
2. 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.
3. The oven works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at
room temperature.
4. Any Sensor Cooking selection can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 30.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the
chart should be cooked following the guidelines
in any microwave cookbook.
6. During the first part of Sensor Cooking, SENSING
will appear on the display. Do not open the oven
door or press STOP/CLEAR pad 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, touch the STOP/
CLEAR pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, remainder of cooking time will appear.
The 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
cooking or reheating foods, error messages will be
displayed, and the oven will turn off.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If
additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

4 - 36 oz
Place in dish or casserole slightly larger than amount to be reheated.
Flatten, if possible. Cover with lid, plastic wrap or wax paper. Use
covers such as plastic wrap or lids with larger quantities of more
dense foods such as stews. After reheating, stir well, if possible.
Re-cover and allow to stand 2 to 3 minutes. Foods should be very
hot. If not, continue to heat with variable power and time.
1 pkg
Use only popcorn packaged for microwave oven use. Try
1.5 - 3.5 oz
several brands to decide which you like the best. Do not try to pop
unpopped kernels.
1 - 6
Pierce. Place on paper-towel-lined turntable. After cooking, remove
1 - 8
from oven, wrap in aluminum foil and let stand 5 to 10 minutes.
Covering Foods
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the procedure 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
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.
ONE TOUCH SENSOR
You can cook or reheat many foods by pressing just
one pad. You don't need to calculate cooking time or
power level.
• Suppose you want to cook two baked potatoes:
Press Baked Potatoes pad and the
oven will start automatically. When
the sensor detects the vapor emitted
from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear,
during which the oven door can be opened to add
ingredients or check foods.
NOTE:
1. After pressing any One Touch Sensor pad, cooking
hints will appear for about 7 seconds, during which
the door may be opened or STOP/CLEAR pressed.
To restart the oven, close the door and press the
START pad.
2. All One Touch Sensor pads can be pressed within
3 minutes after cooking, opening and closing the
door or pressing the STOP/CLEAR pad.
