explode and should not be heated in this oven.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper,
plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
(b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven.

General Use
1. DO NOT tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to
door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any
other part of the oven. DO NOT remove outer panel from oven.
Repairs must be done only by a qualified service person.
2. DO NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will
reflect continuously throughout the oven causing overheating,
if food or water is not present to absorb energy. This could
damage the oven and result in a risk of fire.
3. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in oven,
or use newspapers or paper bags for cooking. Fire could
result.
4. DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper
product is labelled as safe for microwave oven use.
Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may
cause sparks, and result in fires when used.
5. DO NOT hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may
occur. Fire could result.
6. POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing
items from the oven. Heat is transferred from the HOT food
to the cooking container and from the cooking container to
the Glass Tray. The Glass Tray can be very HOT after
removing cooking container from oven.
7. DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the
oven. These could be fire hazards.
