or burn, and some plastics can melt if
used when heating foods.
- Do not deep fry in oven.
-Test dinnerware or cookware before
using. See page 32. Some dishes (mela-
mine, Centura”, etc.) absorb microwave
energy, becoming 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.)
- 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.
l
Do not heat, store or use flammable,
inflammable or corrosive materials in or near
the oven. Fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
