MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the CompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the chart, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ- ously cooked, by using power level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under To Set Power Level on page 12. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food, the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 2-3 cups of casse- role or 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on power level 3 until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place food in a microwave-safe dish.

SENSOR COOKING

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:

1.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.

3.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, SENSOR

will appear on display. Do not open oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cooking

cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, ERROR will appear and sensor

cooking will be interrupted. 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, ERROR 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 24.

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 bak- ing would be room temperature.

2.More or less 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 Sensor Cooking 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; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.
