12. To reduce the risk of fire in
the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food.
Carefully attend appliance if
paper, plastic, or other com­
bustible 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 cook­
ware before using. See page
40. 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 con­
tainers can damage the oven.
So can containers with hidden
metal (twist-ties, foil lining, sta­
ples, metallic glaze or trim.)
c. If materials inside the oven
should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and dis­
connect the power cord, or
shut off power at the fuse or cir­
cuit breaker panel.
13. Read and follow “OPERAT­
ING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS"
starting on page 39.
