Popcorn

Popping time has been preset based on commercially packaged microwave popcorn. The preset programs are for bag sizes

3.5oz (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.
