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