Arcing is the microwave
term tbr sparks in tile oven.
Arcing is caused by:
* Metal or foil touching tile
side of tile oven. *
o Foil not molded to food
(upturned edges act like
antennas).
Metal, such as twist-ties,
pouln T pins, or ,gold-
rimmed dishes, in the
microwave.
Recycled paper towels
containing small metal
pieces being used in the
microwave.
Do not pop popcorn in
your microwave oven
unless in a special
microwave popcorn
accessoi)_ or unless you
use popcorn labeled for
use in inicrowave ovens.
o Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed
containers-ibr example,
closed jars-_ill explode
and should not be heated
in this microwave oven.
Such use of the microwave
oven could resuh in il_juU.
* Do not boil eggs in a
microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg
yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resuhing
in inju U.
* Operating the microwave
with no tbod inside for
more than a minu/e or
two m W 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
potaloes, hot dogs,
sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and
egg yolks should be
pierced to allow smam
to escape during cooking.
SAFETY
FACT
SUPERHEATEDWATER
Microwaved water and
otherliquids donot
always bubblewhen
they reach theboiling
point. They can actually
get superheated and not
bubbleat all.
Superheatedliquid will
bubbleup outof the cup
when it is movedor
when something like a
spoon or tea bag is put
into it.
Toprevent thisfrmn
happeningandcausing
injury,donot heat any
liquid for more than2
minutesper cup. After
heating,let thecup
stand in themicrowave
for 30secondsbefore
movingit orputting
an_hing into it.
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 fbrmula or
breast milk. The container
m W teel cooler than the
milk really is. Always test
the milk betore feeding
the baby.
Spontaneous boiling-
Under certain special
circumstances, liquids
m W start to boil during
or shortly after removal
flom the microwave oven.
To prevent burns flom
splashing liquid, we
recommend the fbll(m_ng:
betbre removing the
container flom the oven,
allow the container to
stand in the oven tor 30
to 40 seconds after the
oven has shut off. Do not
boil liquids in narr()w-
necked containers such
as soft drink bottles, wine
flasks and especially
narrow-necked coffee
cups. Even if the
container is opened,
excessive steam can build
up and cause it to burst
or overflow.
o Don't deflost flozen
beverages in narrow-
necked bottles (especially
carbonamd beverages).
Even if the container is
opened, pressure can
build up. This can cause
the container to burst,
possibly resuhing in
il_juu.
* Hot fbods and steam
can cause burns. Be
caret_al when opening
any containers of hot
tbod, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches
and boxes. To prevent
possible il_ju U, direct
steam aw W flom hands
and f_tce.
= Do not overcook
potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch
fire, causing damage to
your oven.
* Cook meat and pouln T
thoroughly-meat to at
least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160 °F.
and pouh D, to at least an
INTERNAL temperature
of 180 °F. Cooking to
these temperatures
usually protects against
toodborne illness.

SPECIAL NOTES ABO UT MICR OWA VING
Make sure all cookware
used in your microwave
oven is suitable tor
microwaving. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard
cups, potm U or china
dinner,rare which does not
have metallic trim or glaze
with a metallic sheen can
be used. Some cookware is
labeled "suitable *or
microwaving."
How to test for a microwave-
safe dish.
* If you are not sure ifa
dish is microwave-sate,
use this lest: Place in tile
oven both tile dish you
are testing and a glass
measming cup filled with
1 cup of water--set tile
measuring cup either in
or next to tile dish.
Microwave 1 minute at
high. If tile dish heats, it
should not be used for
microwaving.
If the dish remains cool
and only tile water in tile
cup heats, then tile dish
is microwave-safe.
If you use a meat ther-
mometer while cooking,
make sure it is safe for
use in microwave ovens.
* Do not use recycled
paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins
and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks
which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products
containing nyhm or
nylon filaments should
be avoided, as they may
also ignim.
e Solne styrof()aln trays
(like those that meat is
packaged on) have a thin
strip of metal embedded
in tile bottom. When
microwaved, tile metal
can burn the floor of the
oven or ignite a paper
towel.
Do not use tile ulicrowave
to dU newspapers.
Not all plastic wrap is
suitable tor use in micro-
wave ovens. Check tile
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
transferred flom tile
heated food. Pot holders
may be needed to handle
the cookware.
"Boilable" cooking
pouches and tightly
closed plastic bags should
be slit, pierced or vented
as directed by package. If
they are not, plastic could
burst during or immed-
iately after cooking,
possibly resuhing in il_juU.
Also, plastic storage
containers should be at
least partially uncovered
because they f_rm a tight
seal. When cooking with
containers tightly covered
with plastic wrap, remove
covering caretully and
direct steam aw W fiom
hands and face.

power is the fastest way to
cook and gives you 100%
power. Each power level
gives you microwave

turn tbod over and break
apart or rearrange pieces
for more even deflosting.
Shield any warm areas with *
small pieces of foil.
A dull dmmping noise may
be heard during defrosting.
This sound is normal when
fl_e oven is not operating at
High power.
DefrostingTips
, Foods fozen in paper or
plastic can be deflosted
in the package. Tightly
closed packages should
be slit, pierced or vented
AFTER fbod has partially
deflosted. Plastic storage
containers should be at
least partially uncovered.
* Family-size, prepackaged
fozen dinners can be
deflosmd and micro-
waved. If tl_e fbod is in a
foil container, transfer it
to a microwave-safe dish.
Foods that spoil easily,
such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poulu T and
pork, should not be
allowed to sit out fbr
more fllan one hour
after deflosting. Room
temperatme promotes
the growth of harlnf_al
bacteria.
For more even deflosting
of larger foods, such as
beeL lamb and veal
roasts, use Auto Deflost.
* Be sure large meats are
completely deflosted
befbre cooking.
* When defosmd, fbod
should be cool but
sofened in all areas. If still
slightly iW, return to the
microwave ve_T briefly, or
let it stand a few minutes.

Arcing....

Covering
Arcing is the microwave term tbr sparks in the oven. Arcing is
caused by:
* metal or toil touching the side of tim oven.
* t_)il that is not molded to tood (upturned edges act like
antennas).
* metal such as twist lies, pouln T pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
* recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
Covers hold in moisture, allow tbr more even heating and reduce
cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or cove_ing with wax paper
allows excess steam lo escape.
Shielding
St.nding
i i i i i
Venting
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked toods to
prevent ove>browning. When microwaving, you use small snips of
toil to shield thin parts, such as the lips of wings and legs on pouln T,
which would cook beti)re larger parts.
When you cook with regular ovens, toods such as _oasts o_cakes are
allowed to stand to finish cooking or/o set. Standing time is
especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved
cake isnot placed on a cooling rack.
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by
turning back one coineI so excess steam can escape.
