SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ARCINGFOODS
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 twist-ties,
poultry pins, or gold-rimmed
dishes, in the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels
containing small metal
pieces being used in the
microwave.
• Only cook popcorn in your
microwave oven using a
special microwave popcorn
accessory dish, unless you
use popcorn labeled for use
in microwave ovens.
• Some products- such as
whole eggs (with shell),
sealed containers, and
closed jars - will explode and
should not be heated in this
microwave oven.Heating
these products in the
microwave oven could result
in injury.
• 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 before
cooking.
If you see arcing,press the
“STOP/Clear”button and
correct the problem.
