2. Avoid using ordinary plastic containers and metal utensils

Heating plastic containers will cause deformation and release toxic substances, endangering human health. Do not use metal utensils, such as iron, aluminum, stainless steel, enamel, etc., which will produce sparks and reflect microwaves during the heating process, which will damage the furnace body, cook undercooked food, and even cause fire accidents.

4. Avoid using closed containers

When heating soup-like foods, try to use wide-mouthed containers and do not cover them with lids to prevent the heat generated by heating the food in the closed container from being easily dissipated. This can lead to excessive pressure and prone to explosion accidents.

5. Avoid fried foods

Because in high temperature environments, oil will splash and cause open flames. If a fire accidentally breaks out in the furnace, do not open the door immediately. Turn off the power first and wait until the fire is extinguished before opening the door to cool down.
