immediately.
Drinks heated with the Beverage feature may be very

The Reheat feature reheats servings of previously

After removing food from the oven, stir, if possible, to
even out the temperature. Reheated foods may have

How to Adjust the Automatic Popcorn Setting to
Provide a Shorter or Longer Cook Time
If you find that the brand of popcorn you use underpops
or overpops consistently, you can add or subtract 20–30
seconds to the automatic popping time.
To subtract or add time for sensor cook, turn the dial
when the time appears.
Some Foods Not Recommended for Use With Reheat
It is best to use Cook Time for these foods:
■ Bread products.
■ Foods that must be reheated uncovered.
■ Foods that need to be stirred or rotated.
■ Foods calling for a dry look or crisp surface after
reheating.
To substract or add time for sensor cook, turn the dial
when the time is shown.
NOTE: Do not use this feature twice in
succession on the same food portion—it may
result in severely overcooked or burnt food.
Use only with prepackaged microwave
popcorn weighing 2.0 to 3.5 ounces.
NOTE: Do not use this feature twice
in succession on the same food
