Advantium Oven - Reasons for Sparking And Arcing

Arcing can occur during both Speedcooking and Microwave cooking in an Advantium oven. If you see arcing, press the Clear/Off pad and correct the problem.

Resolving a Concern with Sparking and Arcing In an Advantium Oven

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven, and is caused by the following factors.

• Metal cookware used during either Speedcook or microwave cooking.
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the oven.
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven. Caution: Use aluminum foil only as recommended in the Owner's Manual.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas). Caution: Use aluminum foil only as recommended in the Owner's Manual.

It has been found that some vegetables such as green beans or carrots may cause an arcing effect or sparking on the food itself when being cooked in the microwave. This is not a problem with the appliance. To eliminate the arcing, simply cover the food and/or add a small amount of water to the dish.
