Popcorn Sensor
Popcorn is a sensor function. The sensor determines the
appropriate popping time of commercially packaged
microwavable popcorn.
The sensor will determine accurate popping times for bag sizes:
3.5 oz (99 g), 3.0 oz (85 g) or 1.75 oz (50 g). For bag sizes not
listed in this section, follow directions on the package.
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.
■
For best results, do not place bag on convection rack or grill
rack.
■
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.

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