IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ARCING
FOODS
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 anten-
nas).
•Metal, such as twist-ties, poul-
try pins, or gold-rimmed dishes,
in the microwave.
•Recycled paper towels contain-
ing small metal pieces being
used in the microwave.
•Do not cook popcorn in your
microwave oven unless using a
special microwave popcorn acces-
sory dish or unless you use pop-
corn labeled for use in microwave
ovens.
•Some products such as whole
eggs, 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, chick-
en 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
pad and correct the problem.
