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

• The metal shelf (if

included) not installed
correctly so it touches the
microwave wall.

• The temperature probe

(if included) in the
microwave but not
inserted in the food.

• 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.
