Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven°
Arcing is caused by:
° Metal or foil touching the side of the oven
° Turntable support not instalIed correctly.
• Metal cookware used during either speedcook or
microwave cooking (except for the pans provided
with the oven).
• Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to
boil more rapidly than foods containing less moisture.
Should this occur, refer to the Care and Cleaning of the
oven section for instructions on how to clean the inside
of the oven.
° 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

° Do not overcook potatoes° They could dehydrate and
catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
° 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 formula really is Always test the
formula before feeding the baby.
• Do not attempt to deep fry in the oven.

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 during cooking.
SUPERHEATED WATER

overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT
LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
• Make sure to use suitable cookware
during microwave cooking. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring
cups, custard cups, pottery or china
dinnerware which does not have metallic
trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can
be used Some cookware is labeled
"suitable for microwaving."
Place food or microwavable container
directly on the glass microwave turntable
to cook your food.
Use of the black metal tray during
microwave cooking will result in inferior
cooking performance.
If you are not sure if a dish is
microwave-safe, use this test: Place in
the oven both the dish you are testing
and a glass measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water--set the measuring cup
either in or next to the dish. Microwave
30-45 seconds at high Ifthe 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..
Cookware may become hot because
of heat transferred from the heated food°
Oven mitts may be needed to handle
the cookware.
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
filaments should be avoided, as they
may also ignite.
Use foil only as directed in this guide..
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 oven, keep
the foil at least 1 inch away from the
sides of the oven.
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
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.
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package
for proper use.
"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.
Plastic cookware--Piastic 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 or ceramic materials and
may soften or char if subjected to
short periods of overcookingr In longer
exposures to overcooking, the food
and cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
I Use mlcrowave-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°
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers..
If you use a meat thermometer while
cooking, make sure it is safe for use
in microwave ovens.
The turntable support
must always be in p_ace
when using the oven,
Put food or non-metal,
oven-safe cookware dtrectly
on the black metal tray
for speedcooking, baking
or warming
Ensure proper ground
exists before use

Put food or oven-safe
cookware directly on the
black metal tray to bake,
CONVECTION BAKING
Convection baking allows you to cook
foods the same way as a conventional
oven, using a heating element to raise the
temperature of the air inside the oven. Any
oven temperature from 250°F to 450°F
may be set. A fan gently circulates this
heated air throughout the oven, over and
around the food, producing golden brown
exteriors and rich, moist interiors.
Because the heated air is kept constantly
moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air
to develop around the food, some foods
cook slightly faster than in regular oven
cooking.
Before you begin, make sure the turntable
support is in place. Use the black metal
tray at all times when baking.
CAUTION; When baking, remember
that the oven, door and dishes will be
very hot!
