To avoid the possibility of electric shock

To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling:

1.Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off.

2.Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Never heat liquids in narrow necked containers such as baby bottles, as this may result in the contents erupting from the container when heated and cause burns.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:

1.Do not use excessive amount of time.

2.Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

3.It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil (not metal) into the liquid whilst reheating.

4.Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.

3.Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

To avoid the possibility of burns

1.Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.

2.Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns and eruption of boiling.

3.To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly. Temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink; always check the food temperature.

4.Always stand back from the oven door when opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.

5.Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.

To avoid misuse by children

1.Do not lean or swing on the oven door.

2.Children should be taught all important safety instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of food coverings; paying special attention to packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.
