Microwave oven installation, Food Safety

¾Always test the temperature of cooked food, never eat or drink food or liquid straight from the oven, allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir to distribute the heat evenly.

¾Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

¾Food containing a mixture of fat and water (for example, stock) should stand for 30 to 60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent it from bubbling when a spoon is placed in it, or a stock cube is added.

¾When heating or cooking food or liquid, remember that there are certain foods (such as Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat), which heat up very quickly.

¾When heating or cooking foods that contain a lot of fat or sugar, do not use plastic containers.

¾Always have the glass tray and turntable support in place when using the oven.

¾Do not cook food directly on the glass tray. Put food on a suitable plate or in a bowl before putting it in the oven.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

¾Do not overcook food

¾Do not leave the microwave oven unattended while you are using it

¾Remove wire twist-ties from bags before putting the bag in the oven

¾If materials inside the oven catch fire, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off at the wall switch, or shut the power off at the fuse or circuit-breaker panel

FOOD SAFETY

¾Do not cook raw meat or raw shellfish in a microwave, due to the possibility for uneven heating.

¾Do not use the microwave oven for home canning or bottling. Improperly canned or bottle foods may spoil and be dangerous to eat.

¾Follow cooking instructions on food packaging and always check the temperature of food before serving.
