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 children 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 and 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.
