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.
—Do not use your microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless in a spe-
cial microwave popcorn acces-
sory or unless you use popcorn
labeled for use in microwave
ovens.
—Do not operate the oven while
empty to avoid damage to the
oven and the danger of fire. If by
accident the oven should run
empty a minute or two, no harm
is done. However, try to avoid
operating the oven empty at
all
times—it saves energy and pro-
longs life of the oven.
—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.
Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed con-
tainers—for example, closed
glass jars-may explode and
should not be heated in this
oven.
