Arcing is the microwave

term tbr sparks in tile oven.

Arcing is caused by:

* Metal or foil touching tile

side of tile oven. *

o Foil not molded to food

(upturned edges act like

antennas).

Do not pop popcorn in
your microwave oven
unless in a special
microwave popcorn

accessoi)_ or unless you

use popcorn labeled for
use in inicrowave ovens.

o Some products such as

whole eggs and sealed
containers-ibr example,

closed jars-_ill explode
and should not be heated

in this microwave oven.
Such use of the microwave

oven could resuh in il_juU.

* Do not boil eggs in a

microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg

yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resuhing
in inju U.

Metal, such as twist-ties,
pouln T pins, or ,gold-

rimmed dishes, in the
microwave.

Recycled paper towels
containing small metal
pieces being used in the

microwave.

* Operating the microwave

with no tbod inside for
more than a minu/e or

two m W 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

potaloes, hot dogs,
sausages, tomatoes,

apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and

egg yolks should be
pierced to allow smam

to escape during cooking.

SAFETY
FACT

SUPERHEATEDWATER
Microwaved water and

otherliquids donot
always bubblewhen
theyreach theboiling

point. Theycan actually

get superheated and not

bubbleat all.

Superheatedliquidwill

bubbleup outof the cup

when it is moved or
whensomething like a

Toprevent thisfrmn

happeningandcausing
injury,donot heatany
liquid for morethan2

minutesper cup. After
heating,let thecup

stand in themicrowave
for30secondsbefore

movingit orputting
an_hing 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 fbrmula or

breast milk. The container
m W teel cooler than the

milk really is. Always test
the milk betore feeding
the baby.

Spontaneous boiling-
Under certain special

circumstances, liquids
m W start to boil during

or shortly after removal
flom the microwave oven.

To prevent burns flom
splashing liquid, we

recommend the fbll(m_ng:
betbre removing the

container flom the oven,
allow the container to

stand in the oven tor 30
to 40 seconds after the

oven has shut off. Do not

boil liquids in narr()w-
necked containers 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.

o Don't deflost flozen

beverages in narrow-
necked bottles (especially
carbonamd beverages).

Even if the container is
opened, pressure can

build up. This can cause
the container to burst,

possibly resuhing in
il_juu.

* Hot fbods and steam

can cause burns. Be
caret_al when opening

any containers of hot
tbod, including popcorn

bags, cooking pouches
and boxes. To prevent

possible il_ju U, direct
steam aw W flom hands

and f_tce.

=Do not overcook

potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch

fire, causing damage to
your oven.

* Cook meat and pouln T

thoroughly-meat to at
least an INTERNAL

temperature of 160 °F.
and pouh D, to at least an
INTERNAL temperature
of 180 °F. Cooking to

these temperatures

usually protects against
toodborne illness.

SPECIAL NOTES ABO UT MICR OWA VING

Make sure all cookware
used in your microwave

oven is suitable tor
microwaving. Most glass

casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard
cups, potm U or china

dinner,rare which does not
have metallic trim or glaze

with a metallic sheen can
be used. Some cookware is
labeled "suitable *or

microwaving."

How to test for a microwave-

safe dish.

* If you are not sure ifa

dish is microwave-sate,
use this lest: Place in tile

oven both tile dish you
are testing and a glass

measming cup filled with
1 cup of water--set tile

measuring cup either in
or next to tile dish.

Microwave 1 minute at
high. If tile dish heats, it

should not be used for
microwaving.

If the dish remains cool
and only tile water in tile

cup heats, then tile dish
is microwave-safe.

If you use a meat ther-
mometer 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 nyhm or

nylon filaments should
be avoided, as they may

also ignim.

e Solne styrof()aln trays

(like those that meat is

packaged on) have a thin
strip of metal embedded

in tile bottom. When
microwaved, tile metal
can burn the floor of the

oven or ignite a paper
towel.

Do not use tile ulicrowave
to dU newspapers.

Not all plastic wrap is
suitable tor use in micro-

wave ovens. Check tile
package for proper use.

* Paper towels, waxed

paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover

dishes in order to retain
moisture and prevent

spattering. Be sure to
vent plastic wrap so steam

can escape.

* Cookware may become

hot because of heat
transferred flom tile
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 immed-

iately after cooking,
possibly resuhing in il_juU.

Also, plastic storage

containers should be at
least partially uncovered
because they f_rm a tight

seal. When cooking with
containers tightly covered

with plastic wrap, remove
covering caretully and

direct steam aw W fiom
hands and face.

At one half of selected

signals TURN. At this time,

turn tbod over and break

for more even deflosting.
Shield any warm areas with *
small pieces of foil.

A dull dmmping noise may

be heard during defrosting.
This sound is normal when

fl_e oven is not operating at
High power.

DefrostingTips

, Foods fozen in paper or

plastic can be deflosted
in the package. Tightly
closed packages should
be slit, pierced or vented

AFTER fbod has partially

deflosted. Plastic storage
containers should be at

least partially uncovered.

* Family-size, prepackaged

fozen dinners can be
deflosmd and micro-
waved. If tl_e fbod is in a

foil container, transfer it
to a microwave-safe dish.

Foods that spoil easily,
such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poulu T and
pork, should not be

allowed to sit out fbr
more fllan one hour

after deflosting. Room
temperatme promotes
the growth of harlnf_al

bacteria.
For more even deflosting

of larger foods, such as
beeL lamb and veal

roasts, use Auto Deflost.

* Be sure large meats are

completely deflosted
befbre cooking.

* When defosmd, fbod

should be cool but
sofened in all areas. If still

slightly iW, return to the
microwave ve_T briefly, or

let it stand afew minutes.

Covering

Shielding

Arcing is the microwave term tbr sparks in the oven. Arcing is

caused by:

Covers hold in moisture, allow tbr more even heating and reduce
cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or cove_ing with wax paper

allows excess steam lo escape.

In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked toods to
prevent ove>browning. When microwaving, you use small snips of
toil to shield thin parts, such asthe lips of wings and legs on pouln T,
which would cook beti)re larger parts.

St.nding

When you cook with regular ovens, toods such as_oasts o_cakes are

allowed to stand to finish cooking or/o set. Standing time is
especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved
