Arcing is the rnicrowave
If yousee arcing,press term tor sparks in the oven.
Arcing is caused by
• The temperature probe
in the microwave but not
inserted in the food.
• The metal shelf not
installed correctly so it
touches the nlicrowave
wall.
• Metal or foil touching tile
side ot the oven.
• Foil not molded to tood
(upturned edges act like
alltellnas).
• Metal, such as twist-ties,
poult D pins, or gold-
rimmed dishes, in the
Illicrowave,
• Recycled paper towels
containing small metal
pieces being used in the
microwave,
• Do not pop popcorn in
your nlicrowave ovell
unless in a special
microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you
use popcorn labeled tor

• Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed
containers-tor example,
closed jars will explode
and should not be heated
in this microwave oven.
Such use of the microwave
oven could result in i_jm)'.
• I)o ilot boil eggs in a

will build up inside egg
yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resulting
in injury.
• ()perating tile microwave
with no tood inside for
more than a mimlte or

the oven and could start a
fire. It increases the heat
around tile magnetron

• Foods with unbroken

apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and

FACT
SUPERHEATEDWATER
Microwaved water and
otherliquidsdonot
always bubble when
theyreach theboiling
point. Theycanactually
getsuperheatedandnot
bubbleat all,
Superheated liquid will
bubble up out of the cup
when it is moved or
when something like a
spoon or tea hag is put
into it.
To prevent this frmn
happening and causing
injury, do not heat any
liquid for more than 2
minutes per cup. After
heating, let the cup
stand in the microwave
for 30 seconds before
moving it or putting
anything into it.
• Avoid heating baby food
ln¢l s "
• g ais lars, even with the
lid oil. Make sure all
infaru food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir tood to
distribute the heat
evenly. Be careful to
prevent scaldirlg when
warrning forrnula or
breast milk. The container
may teel cooler than the
milk really is. Always test
tile milk before teedino-
tile baby.
• Spormmeous boiling-
Under certain special
circumstances, liquids
rna_, start to boil during
or shortly atier removal
ti'om the microwave oven.
To prevent burns t_'om
splashing liquid, we
recommend the tollowing:
before removing tile
container ti'ol-n the oven,
allow the container to
stand in the oven t0r 3(1
to 4(1seconds atier the
ovell has shllt off, Do llOt
boil liquids in narrox_=
necked containers such
as SOildrink botdes, wine
flasks and especially
narro_=necked cotDe
cups. Even if the
container is opened,
excessive steam can build
up and cause it to burst
or overflow.
• Don't defl'ost t_'ozen
beverages irl IlaYrow-
necked bottles (especially
carb()nated beverages).
Even if the container is
opened, pressure can
build up. This can cause
the container to burst,
possibly resuhing in

• Hot t6ods and steam
can cause burns. Be
careful when opening
any containers of hot
t0od, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches
and boxes. To prevent
possible i_!iury, direct
steanl away ti'ol-n hands

Make sure all cookware
used in yotlr microwave
oven is suitable for
microwavir_g. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes,
measurirlg cups, custard
/_]ps, pottery or china
dinne]avare which does not
have metallic trim or glaze
with a metallic sheen can
be used. Some cookware is
labeled "suitable t0r
microwavir]g."
How to test for a microwave-
safe dish.
• Ityou are ]lot st]re ifa
dish is microwave-safe,
use this test: ['lace in the
oven both tile dish you
are testinc and a glass
measuring cup tilled with
1 cup of water-set tile
measuring cup either in
or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute at
high. If the dish heats, it
should not be used t0r
microwaving.
If tile dish remains cool
and only tile water in the
cup heats, then the dish
is microwave-sate.
• If you llse a meat ther-
mometer while cookin ,
make sure it is safe for
llSe ill microwave ovens.
• Do ]lot use recycled
paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins
and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks
which ma) cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products
contaiMng nylon or
nylon tilaments should
be avoided, as they may
also ignite.
• Some St}Totoam trays
(like those that meat is
packaged on) have a thin
strip ot metal embedded
in the bottonl. When
microwaved, tile metal
can burn tile floor of tile
oven or ignite a paper
towel.
• Do not use tile microwave
to dry newspapers.
• Not all plastic wrap is
suitable t0r use in micro-
wave ovens. Check the
package for proper use.
• Paper towels, waxed
paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain
moisture and prevent
spattering. Be sure to
vent plastic wrap so steam
can escape.
• Cookware may become
hot because of heat
transterred ti'om tile
heated food. F'ot holders
may be needed to handle
tile cookware.
• "Boilable" cooking
pouches and tightl)
closed plastic bags shouM
be slit, pierced or vented
as directed b) package. If
they are not, plastic could
burst during or immed-
iately atier cooking,
possibly resuhing ill injuly.
Also. plastic storage
containers should be at
least partially uncovered
because they form a tight
seal. When cooking with
containers tightl) covered
with plastic wrap, remove
covering careflflly and
direct steam away tl'om
hands and tace.

• Use foil only as directed
in this manual. TV
dinners may be
microwaved in toil trays
less than ,2 - •

remove tile top fifil cover
and return the tray to tile
box. When using toil in
the nlicrowave oven,
keep ttle foil at least
1 inch away t]'om ttle
sides of ttle oven.
• Plastic cookware--Plastic
cookware designed for
nlicrowave cooking is ve D
useflll, but should be used
carefiflly. Ever) microwave-
salt plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking
conditions as are glass or
ceranlic materials and
nlay soften or char if
subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer
exposures to over-
cooking, the tood and
cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
