Cooking For Health: Safety Features Of a Microwave
*The microwave oven door should not be subject to any strain.
*It should not be used often and also a bang is to be avoided. Any misalignment may cause leakage of the microwave.
*Small quantities of food with low moisture content can burn, spark, or catch fire if re-heated for long.
*Do not operate an empty oven as it can cause damage to the oven.
*Keep at least five cms space between the back of the oven and the wall immediately near it as it allows the exhaust air to escape.
*Do not install the oven near gas burners or near radios or TVs.
*Do not deep fry in the oven as it is not possible to control the temperature of the oil and it may result in catching fire easily.
