ARCING
If Vousee arcing, press the CLEAR/OFFpad and correct the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term forsparks in the
oven.Arcing is caused by:
Metal or foil touching tile side of tile oven.
Foil not molded to food (upturned edges
act like antennas).
Metal, such as twist-ties, pouluy' pins or
gold-rimmed dishes in tile microwax_.
Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in file microwax>.
SUPERHEATEDWATER
Microwaved water and other liquids do not alwavs bubble when thev reach the boiling point.
Thev can actually get super heated and not bubble at all.
Super heated liquid will bubble up out of
the cup when it is moved or when something
like a spoon or ma bag is put into it.
To i)_exent this flom happening and causing
injm-y, do not heat any liquid for more than
9 minums per cup.
Alter heating, let tile cup stand in the
microwme for 30 seconds before moving
it or pntung anything into it.

To prevent burns flora splashing liquid, we
iecommend tile following befoie iemoving
the container flom file oxen:
Allow file container to stand in file oxen
for 30 to 40 seconds after tile oxen has
shut off'.
Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked
containeis such as soft drink bottles, wine

Aluminum Foil
xAm can use aluminum fi)il to line the

you must mold the fifil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the fl)il will prevent fat

hot enough to catch on fire. If w_u
do not cut the slits, you are essentially
fl'ving, not broiling.
