SensNcook/SENSOR REHEAT

SensNcook and SENSOR REHEAT can be used for cooking/reheating a range of foods using special
sensor technology. You can choose from 9 SensNcook menus and 6 SENSOR REHEAT menus.
Always refer to the SensNcook chart on pages 14-16 and the SENSOR REHEAT chart on page 17 before
operating these functions.

NOTES:
1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using SensNcook/SENSOR REHEAT.
2. Once a SensNcook/SENSOR REHEAT programme has started, do not open the door or press the
STOP/CLEAR key until the cooking time appears on the display, unless following instructions to stir or
turn over. During this time, Sensor technology senses humidity emitted from food as it heats and
determines the cooking time. Opening the door or stopping the oven disturbs the humidity content and
affects the cooking result.
3. Ensure food is thoroughly heated before serving. If additional heating is required, cook this manually.
4. Wipe off any moisture from the outside of cooking containers and the interior of the oven with a dry cloth
or paper towel prior to cooking on SensNcook/SENSOR REHEAT.
5. Each menu provides helpful cooking advice. To follow this advice, touch INFO on the screen
whenever it is shown.
6. If you want to alter the cooking results, touch ▼ LESS or MORE ▲ before pressing the
START/AUTO MINUTE key. For best results use the cooking chart instructions. See page 31 for details.
7. If food requires manipulation (i.e. turn over or stir) then open the door when the oven indicates, follow the
instructions, close the door and press the START/AUTO MINUTE key.
8. To cook food weighing more or less than the weights/quantities given in the cooking charts, cook
manually.
9. You can check the weight range in Lbs/oz or Kg/g. Select the desired weight unit from SET UP before
programming. See page 29.

MicroFoil ®, follow instructions carefully.

Metal racks. YES YES YES

The metal racks supplied have been specially
designed for all cooking modes and will not

FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION

WARNING:
Face & Hands: Always use oven gloves to remove food or cookware from the oven. Stand back
when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling
film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.

Stir, turn & For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during
stand cooking. Where recommended, leave food to stand after
cooking or defrosting.

Initial and final The initial temperature of food affects the amount of
temperature of cooking time needed, eg. chilled food requires more
food cooking than food at room temperature.
The temperature of the container is not a true indication
of the temperature of the food or drink. Cut into foods
with fillings, for example, jam doughnuts, to release heat
or steam.

Check the temperature of food and drink and stir before serving. Take special care when
serving babies, children or the elderly. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to
be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

Composition Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding or mince

& quality pies) requires less heating time and should be watched,
over-heating can lead to fire.
Good quality ingredients should be used for
microwaving. Economical cuts of meat are recommended
for casserole.

FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION

Piercing Food with skin (such as potatoes, apples, fish,

chicken), or with membrane (such as the white and
yolk of eggs, including boiled eggs), must be pierced
in several places before cooking or reheating. If not,
steam will build up and may cause food to explode.
Note: Eggs in their shells and whole hard boiled
eggs should not be heated in the microwave
ovens since they may explode even after
microwaving has ended.

Arrangement Place thickest parts of food on the outside of the dish, for
example, the meaty ends of chicken drumsticks should be
placed on the outside of the dish.

Covering Fish, vegetables and certain other foods benefit from being
covered during microwave cookery, follow recommendations
where given and use vented microwave cling film or a suitable
lid.

Size & shape Food size and shape affect the amount of cooking time
needed. When cooking more than one portion of the same
food ensure they are of a similar size and shape.

Density & Food density and quantity affect the amount of cooking time
quantity needed, for example, potatoes require more cooking than
peas; four potatoes will take longer to cook than two.

Hygiene Food hygiene standards (storage, handling and

preparation) apply to microwaving. Always store
convenience foods as recommended by the food
manufacturer and keep no longer than the "Use By" date.

ADVICE FOR COOKING

WARNING - Always attend the oven when in use.

Carefully follow the SHARP Operation Manual at all times. If you exceed recommended
cooking times and/or use power levels that are too high, food may overheat, burn, and
in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.

The microwave power level will default to 100% unless you press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL key to
reach the desired setting. Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, for example,
Christmas pudding, mince pies and fruit cakes. Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for
use in microwave ovens.
Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before you use them in the oven. If you do not, steam and
pressure will build up inside and the container may explode.
Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable.
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

ADVICE FOR REHEATING

WARNING:
Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire.

Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the

contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.

• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.

• Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with
the size, shape and material of the container.
• To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or
fat content, for example, Mince pies or Christmas pudding.
• Canned potatoes should not be cooked in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturers’ instructions
on the can.
Plated meals Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat
these separately, see below. Place smaller items of
food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods
to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling film
and reheat on 50%, stir/rearrange halfway through
reheating. Ensure food is thoroughly reheated before
serving.

Casseroles Cover with vented microwave cling film or suitable lid,

reheat on 50%. Stir frequently to ensure even
reheating.

Poultry portions Place thickest parts of the portions on the outside of the
dish, cover with microwave cling film and reheat on
70%. Turn over halfway through. NOTE: Ensure
poultry is thoroughly reheated, before
serving.

Sliced meat Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on
50%. Rearrange at least once to ensure even
reheating. NOTE: Ensure meat is thoroughly
reheated before serving.

Pies Place pies in a flan dish. Reheat meat pies on

70% and fruit pies on 50%.
