Popcorn

Popcorn is a sensor function. The sensor determines the 
appropriate popping time of commercially packaged 
microwavable popcorn.

Remove rectangular cooking rack before use.

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 to 2 seconds, 
then stop the cycle. Do not repop unpopped kernels.

Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results.

Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content.

To Use Popcorn: Place popcorn bag on turntable. Press 
POPCORN. The oven starts the popping cycle automatically.
