SAFETY RULES FOR
PREPARING FOOD IN YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN
Always follow these rules when using electrical
appliances:
PRECAUTION: In order to reduce the risk of
burns, electric shocks, fires and other effects of
microwave energy:
1. Read these instructions carefully before
operating the device.
2. Only use the microwave oven strictly for its
intended purpose. Do not put chemical
substances into the microwave oven. The
oven is designed for heating and preparing
food. The oven is not designed for industrial
or laboratory use.
3. Do not turn the oven on when empty. This
can lead to damage of the device.
4. Do not use the device if the plug or cord is
damaged.
5. Be especially attentive when using the oven
around children.
6. In order to reduce the risk of burning inside
the microwave oven, adhere to the following
rules:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully monitor
the device when using paper, plastic or other
materials.
b) Remove any wires from paper and plastic
containers before placing them in the oven.
c) In case materials burn in the oven, do not
open the door – turn off the oven and
disconnect it from power.
d) Do not store food inside the microwave
oven.
7. Liquids and other foods prepared for
reheating must be in open containers.
8. Kitchen dishes may get very hot in the
microwave oven. Use an oven mitt to
remove dishes from the oven. When heating
beverages in the microwave oven, the
surface of the cup heats up. Carefully
remove, avoiding burns.
10. Do not fry food in the microwave oven.
11. Do not cook eggs in the shell. Other types
of food with skins, for example: hotdogs,
chicken livers, tomatoes and potatoes,
should be poked with a fork before cooking.
12. Only use specially designed
microwavable dishes.
Test: place an empty dish into the microwave
oven, set the highest power level and heat for
60 seconds. If the dish gets very got, then its use
is not recommended.
Microwave-safe dishes
Any glass, ceramic, porcelain and clay dishes
that do not have metal parts are suitable for use
in a microwave oven.
Microwaves reflect off metal dishes and
therefore do not reach the food.
Glass, porcelain, cardboard and ceramics
provide for fast penetration of electromagnetic
waves.
When using plastic dishes, it is important to
remember that some plastic items are not heat
resistant and may become deformed in the
microwave oven.
The following table will help you choose the
proper type of dishes:
