ARCING

If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad 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 antennas).

■ 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.
