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 25 for Safety Lock feature.
About Safety
* Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures:
- 160°F. for fresh pork, boneless white"
poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and
frozen prepared food.
-165°F. for leftover, ready-to-heat
refrigerated, and dell and carry-out"fresh"
food.
- 170°F. white meat of poultry.
- 180°F. dark meat of poultry.
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.
