. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

-Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appli- ante if paper, plastic, 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.

-Do not deep fry in oven.

-Test dinnerware or cookware before using. See page 37. Some dishes (melamine, Cen- tura@,etc.) absorb microwave energy, becom- ing 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.)

-If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and discon- nect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

l Do not heat, store or use flammable materials in or near the oven. Fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

lRead and follow “Operating Safety Precautions” starting on page 34.
