BEFORE USING MICROWAVE OVEN 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. At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven door. Children should be taught all safety precautions: use pot holders, 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. CAUTION • ALWAYS use pot holders 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. Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. Note: About Food Safety Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. Never leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use. 40

BEFORE USING MICROWAVE OVEN

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.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on

the microwave oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use pot

holders, 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.

About Food Safety

Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United

States Department of Agriculture’s recommended tempera-

tures.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick

or dense area away from fat or bone. Never leave the ther-

mometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved

for microwave oven use.

Note:

•

Stay near the microwave 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 food-borne

bacteria.

•

Keep the waveguide cover clean. Food residue can

cause arcing and/or fires.

•

Use care when removing items from the microwave

oven so the utensil, your clothes, or accessories do not

touch the safety door latches.

•

ALWAYS use pot holders to prevent burns when

handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.

Enough heat from the food can transfer through

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.
