About Children and the Microwave

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.

The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 24 for Safety Lock feature.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in food during cooking, unless using a microwave thermometer when cooking with only microwave power.

*Always use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.

Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.

*Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.

*Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

*NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.

*Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.

*Keep wave guide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.

*Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door.

*Use potholders and be careful when using convection, mix or broil cooking as cabinet, interior and door may be too hot to touch.

*Use care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.

To set the turntable support and turntable, see the Special Note for the Turntable Support and Turntable on page 9.
