Microwave emits loud popping or crackling sounds when cooking certain foods.

Safety: Stop the microwave if you suspect arcing or burning.

• Use proper containers: Only use microwave-safe, non-metallic cookware without metallic decorations.
• Cover food: Cover high-fat or high-sugar foods to reduce splatter and popping.
• Clean cavity: Regularly clean the interior to remove grease and food residues that can cause crackling.
• Avoid superheating small items: Do not overcook small, low-moisture foods; reduce power or time.
