A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from 
the food and automatically sets a cooking time.

Before using, make sure the microwave oven has been plugged 
in for at least 2 minutes, the room temperature is not above 95ºF 
(35ºC) and the outside of the container and the microwave oven 
cavity are dry.

The Popcorn program senses bag sizes 1.75-3.5 oz (50-99 g). 
For bag sizes not listed in this section, follow directions on 
package.

■

Pop only one package at a time.

■

Do not use regular paper bags or glassware.

■

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 using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer’s 
instructions.

■

If popcorn volume is less than expected, try placing a 
microwavable dish upside down on the turntable, placing a 
fresh popcorn bag on the dish, and then starting the cycle.

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.
