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.
