Questions and Answers
Q. I opened the door to check on the popcorn and
“Error” appeared on the display. Why?
A. The Popcorn program first detects steam and then
switches to Micro Cook. If you open the door while
“POP” is displayed, “Error” will appear. Close the
door, touch CLEAR/OFF and begin again. You
may open the door when “End” appears on display.
Q. Can I use regular popcorn with the Popcorn
feature in my microwave oven?
A. No. This automatic function is designed to be used
only with prepackaged microwave popcorn.
Q. When I touched the POPCORN pad, the oven
signalled and “HOT” appeared in the display,
and the feature would not operate. Why?
A. If the temperature inside the oven is greater than
200°, the sensor will not operate properly as the
oven does not allow the sensor cooking feature to
be used.
