The ventilation openings on the microwave oven must not be covered. Blocking the air intake or

similar area.

Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.
*
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the microwave oven.
*
Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be
controlled.
*
Use hot pads or microwave oven mitts to prevent burns, when touching containers, microwave
oven parts, and pans after cooking.
LIQUIDS
e.g. beverages or water. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without
evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
*
Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
*
Stir the liquid before placing the container in the microwave oven.
*
After heating, allow standing for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the
container from the microwave oven.
CAREFUL
After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always stir and
check the temperature before serving. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed
and the risk of scald or burns can be avoided.
