SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

Arcing is the microwave

term for sparks in the oven.

Arcing is caused by:

•The metal shelf (if

included) not installed

correctly so it touches the

microwave wall.

•The temperature

probe (if included) in the

microwave but not inserted

in the food.

•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.

If you see arcing, press

the CLEAR/OFF pad and

correct the problem.

•Do not pop popcorn in

your microwave oven

unless in a special

microwave popcorn

accessory or unless you use

popcorn labeled for use in

microwave ovens.

•Some products such as

whole eggs and sealed

containers—for example,

closed jars—are able to

explode and should

not be heated in this

microwave oven. Such

use of 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 during

cooking.
