SENSOR SETTINGS
Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the
vapor (moisture and hum idity) emitted from the food as it
heats. The sensor adjusts t he cooking times and power levels
for various foods and quantities.
USING SENSOR SETTING S:
1 After the ra nge is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using any sensor setting.
2 Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the Microwave Drawer are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3 The senso r wo rks with fo ods at norm al stor age
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.
4 Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or
Less Time Adjustment. See page 20.
5 More or less food than the quantity listed in the char ts
should be cooked followin g the gui delines in any
microwave cookbook.
6 During the first part of sensor use, the food name will
appear on the display. Do not open the Microwave Drawer
or touch Stop/Clear during this pa rt of the cycle. The
measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If th is occurs,
an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch
the Stop/Clear pad and cook manually.
W hen the sensor detects the vapor emitted f rom the
food, t he rema inder of cooking /reheating time w ill
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.
7 If the sensor does not d etect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the time
of day will be d isplayed. If the sensor does not det ect
vapor properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will
be displayed, and the microwave will turn off.

time is needed, continue to cook manually.
