To reduce the risk of fire in the oven

oven to facilitate cooking. Paper can char
or burn, and some plastics can melt if used
when heating foods.

tura,@ etc.) absorb microwave energy, be-
coming 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.
