Popcorn

Popcorn is a sensor function. The sensor 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.

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.
