bustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking. Paper can char
or burn, and some plastics can melt if used
when heating foods.

using. See page 16. Some dishes (mela-
mine, Centura? etc.) absorb microwave en-
ergy, 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

lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim.)
