To avoid the possibility of explosion and
sudden boiling
1. Never use sealed containers. Remove seals
and lids before use. Sealed containers can
explode due to a build up of pressure even
after the oven has been turned off.
2. When boiling water or other liquids, use a
wide-mouthed container to allow bubbles to
escape. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or
other similar utensil to prevent sudden boil-
ing (resulting in splashing or burning).
3. Do not cook eggs in their shells. They may
explode. The explosion may damage the oven
or injure yourself. To cook or reheat eggs
which have not been scrambled or mixed,
pierce the yolks and whites or the eggs may
explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs
before reheating them in the microwave oven.
4. Pierce the skin on such foods as potatoes,
sausages and fruit before cooking, or they
may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
1. Use pot holders or oven gloves when remov-
ing food from the oven to prevent burns.
2. Always open containers, popcorn makers,
oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face
and hands to avoid steam burns.
3. Always stand back from the oven door
when opening it to avoid burns from
escaping steam and heat.
4. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to
release steam and avoid burns.
5. Stir the food and the contents of cooking
containers, and test their actual temperature
before giving them to infants, young children
or elderly people to avoid internal burns.
6. Do not catch the utensil, your clothes or
accessories on the door safety latches, when
you take out the food from the oven.
To avoid misuse by children
