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 oven.
■ Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the oven.
ARCING
If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

Do not pop popcorn in your oven unless in

Some products such as whole eggs and

heated in this microwave oven. Such use of
the microwave oven could result in injury.
Do not boil eggs in this 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.
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is
thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the
heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding
when warming formula. The container may
feel cooler than the formula really is. Always
test the formula before feeding the baby.

necked bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container is open,
pressure can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, possibly resulting in
injury.
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, are able to
be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or
boiling when the container is removed from
the microwave oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR
OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be
careful when opening any containers of
hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking
pouches and boxes. To prevent possible
injury, direct steam away from hands and
face.
Do not overcook potatoes. They could

damage to your oven.
