Silly kitchen appliance question: I have a new combo oven/microwave which I already used with, as it turns out, all the different kinds of racks inside. But the manual says not to use the oven-type racks while microwaving. Do people actually take the oven racks out when microwaving or is this some kind of "clean hourly or your warranty is void" kind of thing?

@vaurora We have similar. My understanding is that racks supplied with the microwave are fine (and we’ve used them for years with no trouble and no sparks). But other third party racks may not be suitable depending on the materials.
@vaurora If it's raw metal, then the worry is most likely about arcing/sparks and thus a fire hazard. My understanding is that this issue is blown out of proportion a bit, but personally I wouldn't risk it.
@vaurora We always keep the metal racks in, even when microwaving.
