SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ARCING

FOODS

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.

• 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 con-

tainers, 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 mag-

netron 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.

Microwave Terms

m Definition

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 that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

• Metal such as twist ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking

time.

Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to

escape.

Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent

over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin

parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook

before larger parts.

Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are

allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially

important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed

on a cooling rack.

Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning

back one corner so excess steam can escape.
