Auto Sensor Popcorn

The sensor in the microwave oven determines the appropriate popping time of commercially packaged microwavable popcorn.

■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 or 2 seconds, then stop the cycle. Do not try to pop unpopped kernels.

■Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results.

■Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content.

There are 2 popcorn functions: Regular and Snack. Use Regular for bag sizes 3.5 oz (99 g) and 3.0 oz (85 g). Use Snack for bag size 1.75 oz (50 g).

To Use Auto Sensor Popcorn:

1.Place popcorn bag on the turntable.

2.Touch POPCORN once for Regular, or twice for Snack.

Touch START, or wait for the oven to start the popping cycle automatically.

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

3.Touch CANCEL or open the door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.

Auto Sensor Reheat

A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from the food and automatically sets a 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 microwavable plate, cover
	with plastic wrap and vent.
Soup	1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L)
	Place in microwavable container, cover
	with plastic wrap and vent. Stir and let
	stand 2-3 minutes after reheating.
Sauce	1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L)
	Place in microwavable 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 microwavable 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 Auto Sensor Reheat:

Before using, make sure the microwave oven has been plugged in for at least 3 minutes, the room temperature is not above 95°F (35°C), and the outside of the container and microwave oven cavity are dry.

1.Place food on the turntable and close the door.

2.Touch REHEAT until the desired food type is displayed.

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, followed by reminder tones.

3.Touch CANCEL or open the door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.
