Arcing is caused by:Ŷ the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwave walls.Ŷ metal or foil touching the side of the oven.Ŷ foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).Ŷ metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.Ŷ recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.Ŷ the turntable ring support being installed incorrectly.Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap orcovering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning.
