IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION  
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING  
ARCING  
Arcing is the microwave  
term for sparks in the oven.  
Arcing is caused by:  
Metal, such as twist-ties,  
poultry pins, or gold-  
rimmed dishes, in the  
microwave.  
If you see arcing, press  
the CLEAR/OFF pad and  
correct the problem.  
Metal or foil touching the  
side of the oven.  
Recycled paper towels  
containing small metal  
pieces being used in the  
microwave.  
Foil not molded to food  
(upturned edges act like  
antennas).  
FOODS  
Do not pop popcorn in  
your microwave oven  
unless in a special  
Operating the microwave  
with no food inside for  
more than a minute or  
two may cause damage to

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.

sausages, tomatoes,  
apples, chicken livers

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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
Do not overcook  
potatoes. They could  
dehydrate and catch  
fire, causing damage to  
your oven.  
When cooking pork,  
follow the directions  
exactly and always cook  
the meat to an internal  
temperature of at least  
170°F. This assures that,

have metallic trim or glaze

If the dish remains cool  
and only the water in the  
cup heats, then the dish  
is microwave-safe.  
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.  
If you use a meat ther-  
mometer while cooking,  
make sure it is safe for  
use in microwave ovens.  
Cookware may become  
hot because of heat  
transferred from the  
heated food. Pot holders  
may be needed to handle  
the cookware.  
Do not use recycled  
paper products. Recycled  
paper towels, napkins  
and waxed paper can  
contain metal flecks

containing nylon or  
nylon filaments should  
be avoided, as they may

Some styrofoam trays  
(like those that meat is

strip of metal embedded  
in the bottom. When  
microwaved, the metal  
can burn the floor of the  
oven or ignite a paper  
towel.  
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

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.  
Do not use the microwave  
to dry newspapers.  
Not all plastic wrap is  
suitable for use in micro-

package for proper use.

Foods that spoil easily,  
such as milk, eggs, fish,

Helpful Information  
Microwave Terms  
Term  
Definition  
Arcing  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is  
caused by:  
metal or foil touching the side of the oven.  
foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like  
antennas).  
metal such as twist ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.  
recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.  
Covering  
Shielding  
Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce  
cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper  
allows excess steam to escape.  
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to  
prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of  
foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry,  
which would cook before larger parts.  
Standing Time  
Venting  
When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are  
allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is  
especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved  
cake is not placed on a cooling rack.  
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by  
turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.
