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, |

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, I

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: Coverdish completely; fold excess wrap

under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper,

overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.
