What are the precautions for using a microwave oven?

1. When using a microwave oven, do not heat for an extended period of time. If the food is forgotten to be taken out after more than 2 hours when heating food, it cannot be reheated. Throw the food away.

2. Do not heat the plastic box inside, as it will deform the container, and the plastic box will release toxic substances after heating, which will endanger human health.

3. Raw food can also be heated inside, because there are many bacteria in raw food. If you put it in a microwave oven, the microwave oven cannot kill the bacteria, so it is best to put raw food in a pot. Only by cooking them medium-low will you avoid food poisoning.

4. When using a microwave oven, do not use metal containers to hold food, because when the microwave oven is heating, the metal containers will produce sparks with the microwave oven, damaging the microwave oven, and the microwave oven cannot be heated.

5. When heating, do not use airtight containers to hold food, otherwise the heat generated during heating will not be easily dissipated, and an explosion accident may easily occur. If the food is in a shell, the shell must be removed or punctured first, otherwise it may cause explosion or stain the furnace wall.

6. If it is fried food, it is best not to put it inside, because the high temperature will cause the food to splash and cause an open flame. If there is a fire in the furnace, never open the door. Turn off the power first and wait until the flames are extinguished before opening the door.
