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