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.
•  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.
  

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.
•  Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins, and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite.
•  Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.
• Some styro foam trays have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven, or ignite a paper towel.
