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

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastics, 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 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.
