ARCING
If you see arcing, press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad and correct the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven .
Arcing is caused by:
n
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven .
n
Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act
like antennas) .
n
Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-
rimmed dishes, in the microwave .
n
Recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces being used in the microwave .
FOODS
n
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 .
n
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers—for example, closed jars—are able
to explode and should not be heated in this
microwave oven . Such use of the microwave oven
could result in injury.
n
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.
n
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 .
n
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 .
n
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 formula . The container may feel
cooler than the formula really is . Always test the
formula before feeding the baby .
n
Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked
bottles (especially carbonated beverages) . even
if the container is opened, pressure can build up .
This can cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
n
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to
be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling
when the container is removed from the microwave
oven is not always present. ThIS cOULd rESULT

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
— Do not overheat the liquid.
— Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it .
— Do not use straight-sided container with narrow
necks .
— After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container .
— Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container .
n
Hot foods and steam can cause burns . Be careful
when opening any containers of hot food, including
popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To
prevent possible injury, direct steam away from
hands and face .
n
do not overcook potatoes . They could dehydrate
and catch fire, causing damage to your oven .
n
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at
least an iNTeRNAL temperature of 160°F (71°C) and
poultry to at least an iNTeRNAL temperature
of 180°F (82°C) . Cooking to these temperatures
usually protects against foodborne illness .
