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.When boiling water or other liquids, use a wide- mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or other similar utensil to prevent sudden boiling (resulting in splashing or burning).
3.Do not cook eggs in their shells. They may explode. The explosion may damage the oven or injure yourself. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.
4.Pierce the skin on such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
5.Do not use excessive amount of time to heat.
6.Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.
7.Stir the liquid before and during cooking. Use extreme care when handling the container or in- serting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
To avoid the possibility of burns
1.Use potholders 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.
3.Always stand back from the oven door when opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
4.Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
5.Stir the food and the contents of cooking contain- ers, and test their actual temperature before giving them to infants, young children or elderly people to avoid internal burns.
6.Do not catch the utensil, your clothes or accesso- ries on the door safety latches when you take out the food from the oven.
To avoid misuse by children
1.Only allow children to use the oven without super- vision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards or improper use.
2.Children should use ovens only under the super- vision of adults.
3.Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play with the oven or use it as a toy. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the oven.
