Manual Defrost; Beverage Reheat; Sensor Cooking - Sharp CAROUSEL II R-9H94 Operation Manual

Manual Defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the
"Amount" column on the DEFROST CHART, you need to
defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3 -step
procedure found under Time Cooking on page 9. 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 casserole 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 in a
microwave safe dish.

Sensor Cooking
Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the
vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from food as it heats.
The Sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for
various foods and quantities. It takes the guess work out of
microwave cooking.

Using Sensor Settings:
1. Room temperature should not exceed 95°F.
2. Exhaust vents are provided on the back of the unit for
proper cooling and airflow inthe cavity. To permit adequate
ventilation, be sure to install the unit so as not to block
these vents. There should be some space for air circulation.
3. 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.
4. During the first part of Sensor cooking,
or _,_T the Sensor setting number will
appear on 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,
will appear and sensor cooking will be
interrupted. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR
pad and select cooking time and variable power. 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 properly with popcorn
and bacon, the oven will turn off, and the correct time of
day will appear in the display. _ will flash at the
end of properly popped corn, pizza and bacon. With the
other sensor settings, if the sensor has not detected the
vapor of the food, _ will appear, and the oven will
shut off.
Selecting Foods:
1. The Sensor works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, bacon would be at refrigerator
temperature and canned soup at room temperature.
2. Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be cooked by
time and variable power.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the chart or recipe 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 when
cooking bacon. Line paper plate with paper towels and
cover bacon with additional paper towels.
4. 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.
