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.

Arcing

•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—will 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.

Foods

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Special Notes About Microwaving

If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

•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

or breast milk. The container may feel

cooler than the milk really is. Always test

the milk before feeding the baby.

•Spontaneous boiling—Under certain

special circumstances, liquids may start

to boil during or shortly after removal

from the microwave oven. To prevent

burns from splashing liquid, we

recommend the following: before

removing the container from the oven,

allow the container to stand in the oven

for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has

shut off. Do not boil liquids in narrow-

necked containers such as soft drink

bottles, wine flasks and especially

narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the

container is opened, excessive steam can

build up and cause it to burst or

overflow.

•Do not defrost frozen beverages in

narrow-necked bottles (especially

carbonated beverages). Even if the

container is opened, pressure can build

up. This can cause the container to

burst, possibly resulting in injury.

•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 injury, direct steam away from

hands and face.

•Do not overcook potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch fire, causing

damage to your oven.

•Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat

to at least an INTERNAL temperature of

160°F. and poultry to at least an

INTERNAL temperature of 180°F.

Cooking to these temperatures usually

protects against foodborne illness.

Safety Fact

–

SUPERHEATED WATER

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.

To prevent this from 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.

Make sure all cookware used in your

microwave oven is suitable for

microwaving. 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.”

•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. If the 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.

•If you use a meat thermometer while

cooking, make sure it is safe for use in

microwave ovens.

•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.

•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.

•Do not use the microwave to dry

newspapers.

•Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in

microwave 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 transferred from the heated food.

Pot holders may be needed to handle the

cookware.

•“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.

•Use foil only as directed in this manual.

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 microwave oven,

keep the foil at least 1 inch away from

the sides of the oven.

•Plastic cookware—Plastic 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 overcooking.

In longer exposures to overcooking, the

food and cookware could ignite. Follow

these guidelines:

1. Use microwave-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.

Improper use of the grounding plug

can result in a risk of electric shock.

This appliance must be grounded. In

the event of an electrical short circuit,

grounding reduces the risk of electric

shock by providing an escape wire for

the electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power

cord having a grounding wire with a

grounding plug. The plug must be

plugged into an outlet that is properly

installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service

technician if the grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or if

doubt exists as to whether the appliance

is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall

outlet, it is your personal responsibility

and obligation to have it replaced with a

properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Do not under any circumstances cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from

the power cord.

We do not recommend using an extension

cord with this appliance. If the power cord

is too short, have a qualified electrician or

service technician install an outlet near

the appliance. (See WARNING–Extension

Cords section.)

For best operation, plug this appliance

into its own electrical outlet to prevent

flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or

tripping of circuit breaker.

Grounding Instructions

Ensure proper ground

exists before use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Grounding Instructions

49-40146v08 12.15.00 15:20 Page 9

Usage situations where appliance’s

power cord will be disconnected

infrequently.

Because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions,we strongly recommend

against the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you still elect to use an adapter,

where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY

CONNECTION may be made to a properly

grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the

use of a UL listed adapter which is available

at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be

aligned with the larger slot in the wall

receptacle to provide proper polarity in the

connection of the power cord.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the wall receptacle

cover screw does not ground the

appliance unless the cover screw is

metal, and not insulated, and the wall

receptacle is grounded through the

house wiring.

You should have the circuit checked by

a qualified electrician to make sure the

receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from

the adapter, always hold the adapter with

one hand. If this is not done, the adapter

ground terminal is very likely to break with

repeated use. Should this happen, DO

NOT USE the appliance until a proper

ground has again been established.

Usage situations where appliance’s

power cord will be disconnected

frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these

situations because frequent disconnection

of the power cord places undue strain on

the adapter and leads to eventual failure of

the adapter ground terminal. You should

have the two-prong wall receptacle

replaced with a three-prong (grounding)

receptacle by a qualified electrician before

using the appliance.

Adapter Plugs

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Adapter Plugs

Ensure proper ground

and firm connection

before use.
