IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ARCING
If you se
e arcing, press
the START/STOP button
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 twist-ties,
poultry pins, or gold-rimmed
dishes, in the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels
containing small metal
pieces being used in the
microwave.
FOODS
• 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.
