[Sensor Cooking I
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. It takes the guesswork out
of microwave cooking.
Using Sensor Settings:
1o Room temperature should not exceed 95 _ F_
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..
3o Sensor cooking can only be entered within 1 minute
after cooking, opening and closing the door or
touching the STOP/CLEAR pad..
4. During the first part of sensor cooking, _,
wil! appear on 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, _ will appear
and sensor cooking will be interuptedo To continue
cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and select
cooking time and power When sensor detects the
vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking
time will appear. Door may be opened when
remaining cooking time appears on display.
At this time, you may stir or season food, as
desired,
5. Check food for doneness after cooking with sensor
settings. If additional time is needed, continue to
cook with variable power and time,
6. If the sensor does not detect vapor, _ will
appear and the oven will shut off.
7. At the end of any cycle, open oven door or touch
STOP/CLEAR pad. The time of day will reappear on
the display°
8. Any Sensor setting can be programmed with More or
Less Time Adjustment. See page 20.
Selecting Foods:
1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, foods for reheating
would be at refrigerator temperature and potatoes
for baking would be room temperature.
2. More or tess food than the quantity listed in the
charts should be cooked by time and variable power°
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 allow
steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch
food..
3. Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excess fat
and moisture when cooking bacon and potatoes.
Line the turntable when baking potatoes.
4. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; foM excesswrap
under dish to secure° If dish is wider than paper,
overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover..
