SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

ARCING
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.
If you see arcing, press the "STOP/Clear" button and correct
the problem.
