Arcing is the microwave
term tor sparks in the oven.
Arcing is caused b?:
• The temperature probe
in the microwave but not
inserted in the tood.
• The metal shelf not
installed correctly so it
touches the nlicrowave
wall.
• Metal or foil touching the
side ot the oven,
• Do not pop popcorn in

unless in a special
microwave popcorn
accesso_ T or unless you
use popcorn labeled tor
use in microwave ovens.
• Some products such as
whole e_,-_g_,-sand sealed
containers-tor example,
closed jars will explode
and should not be heated
in this microwave oven.
Such use of the microwave
oven could result in i_ljury.
• I)o I1Otboil eggs in a

SAFETY
FACT
SUPERHEATEDWATER
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 will
bubble up out of the cup
when it is moved or
when something like a
spoon or tea bag is put
into it.
Toprevent this frmn
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
ln¢l S "
• g ais lars, even with the
lid off. Make sure all
infaru food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir food to
distribute the heat
evenly. Be careful to
prevent scaldirlg when
warming [ornmla or
breast milk. The container
may teel cooler than the
milk really is. Always test
ttle milk before teediw,-
tile baby.
Spormmeous boilirlg--
Under certain special
circumstances, liquids
may start to boil during
or shortly atier removal
ii'oin the microwave oven.
To prevent burns t_'om
splashing liquid, we
recommend the tollowing:
before removing tile
container ti'orn the oven,
allow the container to
stand in the oven t0r 3(1
to 40 seconds atier the
ovell has shHt off. Do ilot
boil liquids in narro_
necked containers such
as sott drink botdes, wine
flasks and especially
narro_necked cottee
cups. Even if the
container is opened,
excessive steam can build
up and cause it to burst
or overflow.
• Don't defl'ost t_'ozen
bevera_,-es in Ilarrow-
necked bottles (especially
carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is
opened, pressure can
build up. This can cause
the container to burst,
possibly resuhing in
injm3.
• Hot i6ods and steam
can cause btlrns. Be
careful when opening
ally containers of hot
food, includino_l )o t)c°rn
bags, cooking pouches
and boxes. To prevent
possible i_jury, direct
steanl away ti'orn hands
and titce.
• I)o not overcook
potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch
fire, causing damage to
your oven.
• Cook meat and poult D-
thoroughl}-meat to at
least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160°F.
and poultry to at least nil
INTERNAL temperature
ot 180°1 `. ('ookino to
these temperatures
usually protects against

SPECIAL NOTES AB OUT MICR OWA V1NG
Make sure all cookware
used in yollr microwave
oven is suitable tor
microwavir_g. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard
/_lps, pottery or china
dinneiavare which does not
have metallic trim or glaze
with a metallic sheen can
be used. Some cookware is
labeled "suitable t0r
microwavirlg."
How to test for amicrowave-
safe dish.
• Ityou are not sure ifa
disll is microwave-safe,
use tllis test: ['lace in the
oven both tile dish you
are testinc and a olass
measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water-set tile
measuring cup either in
or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute at
high. If tlle dish heats, it
should not be used t0r
1-11icrowavi ng.
If tile dish remains cool
and only tile water in tile
cup heats, then the dish
is microwave-sate.
If you llse a meat tiler-
mometer while cookin ,
make sure it is safe for
llse in microwave ovens.
• Do not use recycled
paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins
and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks
which ma} cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products
containing nylon or
nylon filaments should
be avoided, as they may
also ignite.
• Some St}Totoam trays
(like those tllat meat is
packaged on) have a thin
strip ot metal embedded
in tile bottom. When
nficrowaved, tile metal
can burn ttle floor of tile
oven or ignite a paper
towel.
Do not use tile microwave
to dry newspapers.
Not all plastic wrap is
suitable t0r use in micro-
wave ovens. Check the
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
transterred fl'om tile
heated food. Pot holders
may be needed to handle
tile cookware.
• "Boilable" cookirw
0
pouches and tightl}
closed plastic bags should
be slit, pierced or vented
as directed b? package. If
they are not, plastic could
burst during or immed-
iately atier cooking,
possibly resulting in injuly.
Also. plastic storage
containers should be at
least partially uncovered
because they form a tight
seal. When looking with
containers tightl} covered
with plastic wrap, remove
covering careflllly and
direct steam away t_'om
hands and tace.

• Use foil only as directed
in this manual. TV
dinners may be
nlicrowaved in toil trays
less than 3/4" high;
remove ttle top fifil cover
and return the tray to tile
box. When using toil in
the nlicrowave oven,
keep ttle foil at least
1 inch away t]'om ttle
sides of ttle oven.
Tile f'an Mll operate
automatically tinder
certain conditions (see
Automatic Fan feature).
Take care to prevent the
starting, and spreading of

while the vent fan is in use.
• (;lean the underside of
tile microwave often. I)o
not allow grease to build
up oil tile microwave or
the tiul filters.
o
• Plastic cookware--Plastic
cookware designed for
microwave cooking is vei T
usetill, but should be used
carefiflly. Even microwave-
salt plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcookino
conditions as are glass or
ceranlic materials and
may soften or char if
subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer
exposures to over-
cooking, the tood and
cookware could ignite.
• Ill tile event of a grease
fire on tile surl_tce units
below tile microwave
oven, snmther a flaming
pan on tile SUl'fate unit
bv c( ver w,- tile pan
completely with a lid, a
cookie sheet or a flat tray.
• Use care when cleanin_r
the vent tiul filters.
Corrosive cleaning
agents, such as lyed)ased

Defrosting Tips
• Foods fl'ozen ill paper or
plastic can be defl'osted
in the 0ackage. Tightl}
closed packages should
be slit, pierced or vented
AFTER food has partially
deti'osted. Plastic storage
containers should be at
least partially uncovered.
• Famil_,-size. prepackaged
fl'ozen dinners call be
det_'osted and micro-
waved. If the food is ill a
toil container, transfer it
to a microwave-sate dish.
• Foods that spoil easily,
such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuflirl_s poult D and
pork, should not be
allowed to sit out lot
more than one hour
after defl'osting. Room
temperature promotes
the growth of harnfful
bacteria.
• For more even defl'ostino-
ot larger foods, such as
beef, lamb and veal
roasts, use Auto l)efl'ost.
• Be sure large lneats are
completely defl'osted
before cookino
• When deti'osted, tood
should be cool but
sot'tened ill all areas. Ifstill
