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
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.
Shielding
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
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.
Venti n g
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one
corner so excess steam can escape.

Helpful Hints
Open the over door a few minutes
after cooking to air out the inside.

The Exhaust Feature
The Vent Fan
The vent fan has 2 metal reusable
grease filters.
Models that recirculate air back into
the room also use a charcoal filter.
Reusable grease
filters
The metal filters trap grease released
by foods on the cooktop. They also
prevent flames from foods on the
cooktop from damaging the inside of
the microwave.
For this reason, the filters must
ALWAYS be in place when the hood
is used. The grease filters should be
cleaned once a month ,or as needed.
Removing and
Cleaning the Filter
To remove, slide it to the left/right
using the tab. Pull it down and out.
To clean the grease filter, soak it
and then swish it around in hot water
and detergent. Don’t use ammonia
or ammonia products because they
will darken the metal. Light
brushing can be used to remove
embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and let
it dry before replacing.
To repla ce, slide the filter in the
frame slot on the left/right of the
opening. Pull up and to the left/right
to lock into place.
