Baked Potato 1-4 medium, 10-13 oz (283-369 g) each, similar in size Pierce each one several times with a fork. Place on paper towel, around turntable edges, at least 1" (2.5 cm) apart.

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 directions on package. If using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer's instructions. To Use One Touch Sensor Cooking: 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 microwave oven cavity is dry. REMEMBER: If the door is opened while the sensor is "sensing" (sensor animation active in the display), the sensor cycle will be canceled. To Use Baked Potato and Meal Reheat: Place item on turntable and close the door. 1. Touch BAKED POTATO or MEAL REHEAT. The microwave oven will automatically turn on. The sensor animation will briefly appear, followed by the estimated remaining cook time. Doneness may be adjusted during the first 20 seconds of cooking by turning the dial. See "Doneness" section. The remaining cook time may be recalculated several times during cooking. Each time, the sensor animation will appear for 3 seconds, followed by the new remaining time. When the cycle ends, "END" will appear in the display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder tones. 2. Touch CANCEL/OFF or open the door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones. 12 To Use Popcorn: Place popcorn bag on the turntable, correct side up, as indicated on the package. 1.
