ARCING
If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
•Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
•Foil not molded to food {upturned edges act like antennas).
•Metal, such as
•Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

-After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container
-Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container
•Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly.

FOODS

•Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
•Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the oven.
•Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, are able to be overheated
beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not alwags present. THIS COULD RESULT
IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL
IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
•Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
