Arcing is the microwave term that is defined as "Sparks in the Oven."
Arcing is caused:
• If metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-rimmed dishes
are being used in the microwave when microwave oven is in use.
• If recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces are being
used in the microwave.
• If foil paper is in the oven while oven is in use.
• Cooking times given in the cooking guide are approximate. Factors that may
affect cooking are starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of food
and container used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to
adjust for these factors.
• Do not boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.
• Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and whole acorn squash are examples of
food with "NONPOROUS SKINS." These must be pierced before cooking to
prevent bursting.
• Popcorn must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped
corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping. Do not use oven for
popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn container or unless
it’s commercially packaged and recommended for microwave ovens. Do not use
oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
• Do not attempt to deep fry in your oven.
• DO NOT heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.
