COVERING FOODS
For best cooking results and to avoid spatters, some foods should
be covered. See the cooking charts in this manual and refer
to hints by touching the TIMER/SETTINGS pad for cover
recommendations. See MICROWAVE COVERINGS on page 13.
Always allow steam to escape away from face and hands when
removing any covering.
NOTE: The tighter the cover, the hotter the food will become.
It is necessary to leave a small vent for steam and moisture to
escape from the food as it heats.
POWER LEVEL
There are eleven preset power levels. Using lower power levels
increases the cooking time, which is recommended for foods
such as cheese and milk and long slow cooking of meats. Consult
a microwave cookbook or recipes for specic recommendations.

USING THE MICROWAVE DRAWER
SENSOR SETTINGS
The Sensor settings allow you to cook or reheat many different
foods without the need to calculate cooking time or power level.
Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects vapor
(moisture and humidity) emitted from food as it heats.
ABOUT SENSOR COOKING
1 Wait two minutes after initially plugging in the appliance
before using a Sensor setting.
2 Make sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the Microwave Drawer
™
Oven are dry. Wipe off
any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3 The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature.
For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
4 Any Sensor menu item can be programmed with More or
Less Time Adjustment. See OTHER FEATURES on page 29.
5 Foods of different quantities than listed on the menu label
can be cooked manually according to instructions found in
any microwave cookbook.
6 During the rst part of sensor use, the food name appears
on the display. Do not open the Microwave Drawer
™
Oven
or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cycle, as
the measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If the cycle
is interrupted, ERROR appears on the display. To continue
cooking, touch STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.
7 When the sensor detects vapor emitted from food, the
remaining cooking/reheating time appears on the display.
At this time, the Microwave Drawer
™
Oven may be opened
to allow for stirring or seasoning of food.
8 If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking
foods (except popcorn), ERROR appears on the display. To
continue cooking, touch STOP/CLEAR pad and cook
manu a lly.
9 Check food temperature after cooking. If more time is
needed, continue to cook manually.
