Arcing is the microwave term
for sparks in the oven. Arcing
is caused by:
■
The metal shelf not
installed correctly so it
touches the microwave wall.
■
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.
■
Do not pop popcorn in
your microwave oven unless
in a special microwave
popcorn accessory or unless
you use popcorn labeled
for use in microwave ovens.
■
Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed
containers—for example,
closed jars—are able to
explode and should not be
heated in this microwave
oven. Such use of the
microwave oven could
result in injury.
■
Do not boil eggs in a
microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk
and will cause it to burst,
possibly resulting in injury.
■
Operating the microwave
with no food inside for
more than a minute or two
may 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 potatoes, hot
dogs, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and
other giblets, and egg yolks
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during
cooking.
