ARCING

SAFETY FACT:

SUPERHEATED WATER

If you see arcing, press the “STOP/Clear” button and

correct the problem.

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 antennae).

• 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

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 the egg yolk and will cause it to burst possibly

resulting in injury.

• Operating the microwave with no food inside 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.

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble

when they reach the boiling point; they can actually get

superheated and not bubble at all. Superheated liquid can

bubble up when it is moved or when something like a spoon

or tea bag is put into it. To prevent this from happening and

causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes

per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for

30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into it.

• 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 milk really is. Always test the milk before feeding the

baby.

• Spontaneous boiling- Under certain circumstances, liquids

may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the

microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid,

we recommend the following:

Before removing the container from the oven allow the

container to stand in the the oven for 30 to 40 seconds

such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and especially

narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the container is

opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst

or overflow.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and

catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly- meat to at least an

INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71.1°C), and poultry to

at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82.2°C).

Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

food borne illness.
