SensorPopcorn

The sensor in the microwave oven determines the appropriate popping time of commercially packaged microwavable popcorn. This function is programmed to detect popping times for 3.5-oz (99 g), 3.0-oz (85 g) and 1.75-oz (50 g) bags.

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 1 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. For bag sizes not listed in this section, follow directions on the package.

To Use Sensor Popcorn:

1.Place popcorn bag on the turntable and close the door.

2.Touch POPCORN once for Regular (3.0-3.5 oz [85-99 g]), or twice for Snack (1.75 oz [50 g]).

The microwave oven will start automatically after a brief delay.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound.

3.Touch OFF or open the door to clear the display.

SensorReheat

The sensor in the microwave oven determines the reheating time based on the selection. Use the following chart as a guide.

FOOD	SERVING SIZE/INSTRUCTIONS
Dinner Plate	8-16 oz (227-454 g)
(refrigerated)	Place food on microwave-safe plate, cover
	with plastic wrap and vent.
Soup/Sauce	1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L)
	Place in microwave-safe container, cover
	with plastic wrap and vent. Stir and let stand
	2-3 minutes after reheating.
Casserole	1-2 cups (250-500 mL)
(refrigerated)	Place in microwave-safe container, cover
	with plastic wrap and vent. Stir and let stand
	2-3 minutes after reheating.

NOTE: When covering foods, make sure the vent opening is large enough for moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to accurately determine reheating time.

To Use Sensor Reheat:

The microwave oven will start automatically after a brief delay.

When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound.
