Popcorn Popcorn is a sensor function. The sensor determines the appropriate popping time of commercially packaged microwavable popcorn. The sensor will determine accurate popping times for bag sizes: 3.5 oz (99 g), 3.0 oz (85 g) or 1.75 oz (50 g). For bag sizes not listed in this section, follow directions on the package. 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. ■ For best results, do not place bag on convection rack or grill rack. ■ 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. ■ Do not try to pop unpopped kernels. ■ Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results. ■ Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content. To Use Popcorn: 1. Place popcorn bag on the turntable and close the door. 2. Touch POPCORN control. The microwave oven will start automatically. The display will show when the microwave oven is sensing, and will start counting down the time when sensing has finished. When the cycle ends, the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder tones. 3. Touch OFF control or open the door to stop reminder tones. The display will return to the Main Menu after OFF control is touched. Using Food Type The Food Type menu has 12 methods from which to choose.
