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