User Manual Sharp R-559YW 1.8 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave Oven

The Sensor Cook categories are designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food.

Before using Senor Cook check the following:
The unit has been plugged in for more than 2 minutes.
The exterior of your cooking container (if applicable) is dry.
The interior of your microwave is dry.
Follow the steps below to learn how to use Sensor Cooking:
On your control panel under the word ‘Sensor Cook’, select the food you wish to cook.
For example, if you want to cook a potato, you will press the potato option.
Once selected, press Start / +30.
SCPO (Sensor Cook Potato) will appear on the LCD screen.
When the sensor detects the moisture emitted from the food, the cooking time will appear.

After the cooking time is finished, if you are not satisfied with the temperature of your food, press Sensor Reheat. This option will determine how much more time may be needed to cook your food. Once the moisture of your food is sensed, the remainder of cooking time will appear.

Unfortunately the lightbulb inside your model cannot be replaced by yourself. If your lightbulb is no longer working, a servicer will need to come to your location and replace this part.

To find a servicer in your area go to our Service Locator page, select the product type, the radius you want to search, your zip code, and then press submit.

Please note that the lightbulb is not covered under warranty and there may be a cost associated with replacing the lightbulb.
