SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

ARCING
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.

• 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.
  

FOODS

• 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 egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
  

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE:
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. 

•  If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
