To reduce the risk of fire or 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 microwave cooking.
Paper can char or burn, and some plastics
can melt if used when heating foods.
b. Test dinnerware or cookware before
using for microwave cooking. See page 39.
Some dishes (melamine, Centura, etc.)
absorb microwave energy, becoming too
hot to handle and slowing microwave
cooking times. Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags before using for mi-
crowave or combination cooking. Micro-
wave 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.
