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 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING
FOODS
4
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casserole, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware
which do not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen
can be used. Some cookware will be labeled “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. Paper products containing
nylon or nylon filament should be avoided, as they may also
ignite.
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Check the package for proper use.
• Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on)
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.
• Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to
handle the cookware.
• “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced, or vented as directed by package. If
they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after
cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage
containers should be at least partially uncovered because
they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly
covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands and face.
• Paper towels, waxed paper, and plastic wrap can be used
to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent
splattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can
escape.
How to test for a microwave-safe dish:
1) Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass
measuring cup filled with1 cup of water.
2) Set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
3) Microwave 1 minute on high power.
If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the
dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then
the dish is microwave-safe.
• Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners may
be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove the
top foil cover and return the tray to the box. When using
foil in the microwave, keep the foil at least 1 inch away
from the sides of the oven.
• Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very
useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe
plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as
are glass and ceramic materials, and may soften or char if
subjected to short periods of over-cooking. In longer
exposure to over-cooking, the food and cookware could
ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1) Use Microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict
compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations.
2) Do not microwave empty containers.
3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without
complete supervision.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
DO NOT under any circumstances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
DO NOT use an extension cord with this appliance.
If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical
outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse, or tripping
of circuit breaker.
