How to Reset the Power Level on a Sharp Microwave

Sharp microwave oven digital displays have a number of automatic cooking features, including reheat settings, defrost settings and settings for commonly microwaved foods, like popcorn. All of these features use different power settings, but when it's time to use your Sharp microwave with standard factory settings, you will want to ensure that the power level is set to high. There's no need to wrestle with power cords, as unplugging your microwave will reset your clock as well.
