SENSOR COOK
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.
UsingSensorSettings:
1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using Sensor Cook.
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 tem-
perature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.
4. Any Sensor Cook selection can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 16.
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 Cook, the food name
will appear on the display. Do not open the oven
door or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the
cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be
interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will ap-
pear. 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 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
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the
correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor
does not detect vapor properly when cooking other
foods, _ will be displayed, and the oven will
turn off.

8. Check food temperature after cooking. If additional
time is needed, continue to cook manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the CUSTOM
HELP pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in
the display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the Sensor Cook 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
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.
EXAMPLE:
You can cook many foods by touching any Sensor
pad and START/MINUTE PLUS. You don't need to
calculate cooking time or power level.
• Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.
