Arcing  
Arcing is the microwave  
term for sparks in the oven.  
Arcing is caused by:

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,

Cookware Tips  
Convection Cooking  
Combination Cooking  
Metal pans are recom-  
mended for all types of  
baked products.  
Use glass or glass-ceramic  
baking containers. Do not  
use cookware with metal  
trim. It may cause arcing  
which can damage the  
cookware, the shelf or the  
oven.  
Dark or dull finish metal  
pans are best for breads  
and pies because they  
absorb heat and produce  
crisper crust.  
Heat-resistant plastic  
microwave cookware (safe  
to 400°F.) may be used.  
Shiny aluminum pans are  
better for cakes, cookies or  
muffins because these pans  
reflect heat and help  
produce a light, tender  
crust.  
Use glass or glass-ceramic  
casserole or baking dishes  
for egg and cheese recipes  
because they are easier to  
clean.

Cooking Tips  
Cable

The temperature probe is  
a food thermometer that  
monitors the temperature  
of the food. The probe  
must be used when using  
Temp Cook/Hold,  
Convection Temperature  
Cook, Combination  
Temperature Cook, or  
Combination Roast.  
Do not twist, drop or  
bend the probe.  
Be sure frozen food has  
been completely  
defrosted before  
inserting the probe. The  
probe may break off if  
used in frozen foods.  
Appearance may vary  
What happens when you  
use the probe…  
Cover foods loosely for  
moisture control and  
quick, even heating.  
Cooking with the  
probe allows you to  
heat food to a certain  
temperature. This is  
the best way to cook  
many foods.  
The probe is not  
recommended for batters,  
doughs, frozen foods and  
foods which are difficult  
to cook precisely by  
temperature. Use the  
Micro Cook setting for  
these foods.  
Use a lower power level  
with the probe; foods will  
take longer to cook but  
they will heat more  
evenly.  
Make sure the cable end  
is inserted all the way into  
the oven wall receptacle.  
Insert the probe into the  
center of the food. Make  
sure the handle does not  
touch the food or the top  
or sides of the oven.  
Do not leave the probe  
in the oven if it’s not  
inserted in food. If it  
touches the oven wall, it  
may damage the oven.

Covered  
Dry off dishes so they don’t

Be sure the outside of

Microwave Terms  
Term  
Definition  
Arcing  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is  
caused by:  
the temperature probe staying in the oven but not inserted in  
the food.  
the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the  
microwave walls.  
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.
