Popcorn

Popping time has been preset based on commercially packaged
microwave popcorn. The preset programs are for bag sizes 3.5 oz
(99 g), 3.0 oz (85 g) and 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.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use regular
paper bags or glassware.
Pop only one 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.
If popcorn volume is less than expected, try placing a
microwave-safe dish upside down on the turntable, placing a
fresh popcorn bag on the dish, and then starting the cycle.
NOTE: The Popcorn times are programmed to run 15 seconds
longer than the actual pop time. During this 15-second period, the
magnetron is off, and the microwave oven is cooling. This allows
the microwave oven to pop another bag of popcorn immediately
following the cycle.
To Use POPCORN:
1. Place popcorn bag on the turntable, and close the door.
2. Touch POPCORN.
Bag size selections will scroll across the display.
3. Enter the bag size, in ounces, using the number pads (invalid
numbers will not be accepted)
or
Touch POPCORN repeatedly to scroll through the bag size
selections.
