Doneness

Doneness may be adjusted to more done, less done, or back to 
normal doneness (default) for all automatic cooking functions 
except Popcorn. During programming, before touching START, 
touch COOK TIME once for MORE, twice for LESS or 3 times for 
NORMAL.

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: 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.

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.

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 
microwavable dish upside down on the turntable, placing a 
fresh popcorn bag on the dish, and then starting the cycle.

display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by 
reminder tones.

6. Touch OFF CANCEL or open the door to clear the display 

and/or stop reminder tones.
