IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING
6
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.
If you see arcing, press
the CLEAR/OFF pad and
correct the problem.
ARCING
•
Do not pop popcorn in
your microwave oven
unless in a special
microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you
use popcorn labeled for
use in microwave ovens.
•
Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed
containers—for example,
closed jars—will explode
and should not be heated
in this microwave oven.
Such use of 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 during cooking.
