SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Arcing is the microwave
term for sparks in the oven.
Arcing is caused by:
• The metal shelf (if
included) not installed
correctly so it touches the
microwave wall.
• Metal or foil touching the
side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food
(upturned edges act like
antennas).
• 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—are able to
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.
• 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.
• 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.
