To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance if paper, plastics, or other combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking. Paper can char
or burn, and some plastics can melt if used
when heating foods.
b. Test dinnerware or cookware before
using. See page 12. Some dishes
(melamine, Centura, etc.) absorb micro-
wave energy becoming too hot to handle
and slowing cooking times. Remove wire
twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven. Cooking in metal
containers can damage the oven. So can
containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil
lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).
c. If materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and
disconnect the power cord, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
17. Read and follow “OPERATING SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS” starting on page 10.
