Sensor Popcorn
The sensor in the microwave oven determines the appropriate
popping time of commercially packaged microwavable popcorn.
■ Do not use regular paper bags or glassware.
■ Pop only 1 package of popcorn at a time.
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using a microwave
popcorn popper.
■ Listen for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 or 2 seconds,
then stop the cycle. Do not try to pop unpopped kernels.
■ Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results.
■ Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content. For bag
sizes not listed in this section, follow package directions.
There are 2 popcorn functions: Regular and Snack. Use Regular
for bag sizes 3.5 oz (99 g) and 3.0 oz (85 g). Use Snack for bag
size 1.75 oz (50 g).
To Use POPCORN:
1. Place popcorn bag on the turntable.
2. Touch POPCORN once for Regular, or twice for Snack.
Touch START, or wait for the oven to start the popping cycle
automatically.
When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder
tones.
3. Touch OFF-CANCEL or open the door to clear the display
and/or stop reminder tones.
Sensor Cooking
The sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released
from the food and automatically sets a cooking time based on the
selected pad. Use the following chart as a guide.
NOTE: When covering foods, make sure the vent opening is large
enough for the moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to
accurately determine cooking time.
To Use Cook:
Before using, make sure the microwave oven has been plugged
in for at least 3 minutes, the room temperature is not above 95°F
(35°C) and the outside of the container and microwave oven
cavity are dry.
1. Place food on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch COOK until the desired food type is displayed.
The microwave oven will start automatically after a brief
delay.
When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder
tones.
3. Touch OFF-CANCEL or open the door to clear the display
and/or stop reminder tones.
