To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity (continued):
-Test dinnerware or cookware before
using.
To test a dish for safe use, put
it into the oven with a cup of water
beside it. Cook at 166% Cook Power
for one minute.
If the dish gets hot
and water stays cool, do not use it.
Some dishes (melamine, some
ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb
microwave energy, becoming too hot
to handle and stowing cooking times.
Cooking in metal containers not
designed for microwave use can
damage the oven, as can containers
with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining,
staples, metallic glaze or trim).
-Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in
oven.
-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.
-Do not use the cavity for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils. or food in the cavity
when not in use.
-Do not mount over a sink.
-Do not store anything directly on top of
the appliance when appliance is in
operation.
