SENSOR SETTINGS
The Sensor Cook center includes many Smart & Easy ™ settings to cook the most popular microwaved 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

  • Wait two minutes after initially plugging in the appliance before using a Sensor setting.
  • Wipe off any moisture from the exterior of the food container and the interior of the microwave cavity before using a Sensor setting.
  • The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
  • Foods of different quantities than listed on the menu label can be cooked manually according to instructions found in any microwave cookbook.
  • During the first part of sensor use, the food name appears on the display. Do not open the Sharp 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.
  • When the sensor detects vapor emitted from food, the remaining cooking/reheating time appears on the display. At this time, the Sharp Microwave Drawer ™ Oven may be opened to allow for stirring or seasoning of food.
  • 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 ma nually.
  • Check food temperature after cooking. If more time is needed, continue to cook manually.

COOKING HINT
Each Smart & Easy ™ menu item has a cooking hint. To view the hint, touch Help/Settings pad when HELP appears on the display. Cooking hints include recommended coverings and quantity/weight ranges.

BEVERAGE
Use the Beverage feature to reheat coffee or tea to a suitable drinking temperature or make instant coffee, tea or hot cereal.
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, can be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to boil, due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the Sharp Microwave Drawer™ Oven is not always present. This could result in VERY HOT LIQUIDS suddenly boiling over when a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons when heating liquids:

  • Do not overheat liquids.
  • Stir liquids both before and halfway through heating.
  • Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use wide-mouthed containers.
  • After heating allow the container to stand in the Sharp Microwave Drawer™ Oven for at least 20 seconds before removing.
  • Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into liquids after heating.

CLEANING AND CARE

EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
The exterior should be wiped often with a damp soft cloth and polished with a dry soft cloth to maintain its beauty. There is also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on to it. Follow package directions carefully.
FRONT SIDE OF THE DRAWER
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp soft cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp soft cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners, as they may stain, streak or dull the drawer surface.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
The touch-pads may be deactivated before cleaning the control panel. To lock the control panel, touch and hold pad for 3 seconds. LOCK ON appears on the display.
Wipe the panel with a soft cloth slightly damped with water only, then wipe dry with a dry soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners.
To unlock the control panel, Touch and hold pad for 3 seconds. LOCK OFF appears on the display. Touch STOP/CLEAR pad.
INTERIOR
Cleaning the interior is easy because no heat is generated to interior surfaces, thus there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To prevent the drawer closing and opening during cleaning, lock the control panel.
To clean interior surfaces, including drawer sealing surfaces, wipe with a damp soft cloth. For heavier soil, use mild soap and wipe clean with a damp soft cloth.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS, CHEMICAL OVEN CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS.
DRAWER GUIDES
Remove the food crumbs from the drawer guides. Wipe with a dry soft cloth keep the Sharp Microwave Drawer Oven opening and closing smoothly. ™
WAVEGUIDE COVER
ATTENTION
The waveguide cover, located on the inside top of the Sharp Microwave Drawer ™ Oven area, is made from mica, so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Use a damp soft cloth to carefully wipe any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the Sharp Microwave Drawer ™ Oven. To remove odor, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of one lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass microwave-safe measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Leave in the Sharp Microwave Drawer ™ Oven until water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
