Sensor Popcorn
The sensor in the microwave oven determines the appropriate
popping time of commercially packaged microwavable popcorn.
This function is programmed to detect popping times for 3.5-oz
(99 g), 3.0-oz (85 g) and 1.75-oz (50 g) bags.
NOTE: During Popcorn function, as with all microwave cooking
functions, the microwave oven should be attended at all times.
Listen for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then
stop the cycle.
■
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, 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.
■
For best cooking results, 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 directions on the
package.
To Use Sensor Popcorn:
1. Place popcorn bag on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch POPCORN once for Regular (3.0-3.5 oz [85-99 g]), or
twice for Snack (1.75 oz [50 g]).
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.
3. Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display.
