reduce the risk of a fire in the oven
cavity.
If materials inside the oven ignite:
• Keep the oven door closed
•Turn the oven off, and

handles from paper or plastic
containers/bags before placing
them in the oven.

removed from the microwave oven
is not always present. This could
result in very hot liquids suddenly
boiling over when the container is
disturbed or a spoon or other utensil
is inserted into the liquid.
