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 microwave 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 microwave 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 31 for Safety Lock feature.
•
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
foodborne bacteria.
Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories
do not touch the safety door latches.
Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch [2.5 cm] away from walls, ceiling and door of
microwave oven.
