SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICRO WAVING

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).

¯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.

¯ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold- rimmed dishes, in the

microwave.

¯Req'cled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

Operating the microwave ~th 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.
