MICROWAVE DRAWER COOKING

SENSOR SETTINGS
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 levels
for various foods and quantities.
USING SENSOR SETTINGS:
After the Microwave Drawer is plugged in, wait 2
1
minutes before using any sensor setting.
Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
2
interior of the Microwave Drawer are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
The sensor works with foods at normal storage
3
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.
Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or
4
Less Time Adjustment. See page 18.
More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts
5
should be cooked following the guidelines in any
microwave cookbook.
During the first part of sensor use, the food name will
6
appear on the display. Do not open the Microwave
Drawer or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the
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, the remainder of cooking/reheating time will
appear. The Microwave Drawer may be opened when
the remaining time appears on the display. At this time,
you may stir or season food, as desired.
Except for Popcorn, if the sensor does not detect vapor
7
properly when cooking other foods,
displayed, and the microwave will turn off.
Check food temperature after cooking. If additional
8
time is needed, continue to cook manually.
Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the HELP/
9
SETTINGS pad when the HELP indicator is lighted
in the display.
