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.

Using Sensor Settings:

1.After 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 mois- ture 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 26.

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 appear. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. 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, ERROR will be displayed, and the oven will

turn off.

8.Check food for temperature after cooking. If addi- tional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

9.Each food has a cooking hint. Touch 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 INSTANT SENSOR and SENSOR COOK CENTER 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.
