To reduce the risk of fire in
the oven cavity:
—Do not overcook food.
Carefully attend appliance if

materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
—Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags
before
placing bags in oven.
—Do
not use your microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Do not use recycled paper
products. Recycled paper towels,
napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which may
cause arcing or ignite. Paper
products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be
avoided, as they may also ignite.
—Do
not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—Do not operate the oven
while empty to avoid damage to
the oven and the danger of fire.
If by accident the oven should
run empty a minute or two, no
harm is done. However, try to
avoid operating the oven empty
at all times—it saves energy and
prolongs the life of the oven.
—Do not
overcook potatoes.
They could dehydrate and catch
fire, causing damage to your oven.
—Do not use the oven for
storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products,
cooting
utensils
or food in the oven when not
in use.
—If materials inside oven
should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and
disconnect power cord, or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
●
Some products such as whole
eggs and sealed
containers—
for example, closed jars—will
explode and should not be heated
in this microwave oven. Such use
of the microwave oven could
result in injury.
