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

—Do not overcook food. Care- fully attend appliance if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. —Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

—Paper towels and napkins,

waxpaper. Recycled paper products can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products con- taining nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

—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 circuit breaker panel.
