1. The microwave oven should be placed in a balanced and ventilated place. There should be no less than 10 cm of space at the rear and no less than 5 cm of space at the top to facilitate exhaust and heat dissipation, and should be kept away from equipment with Magnetic field household appliances, so as not to affect the cooking effect.

2. Do not overfill the microwave oven with food, preferably no more than 1/3 of the volume. Do not place food directly on the turntable, but use containers made of heat-resistant glass, ceramics or heat-resistant plastic. Metal or enamel containers should never be used, and containers with metal patterns should not be used.

3. It is strictly forbidden to use a microwave oven to heat sealed foods, such as bagged, bottled, canned foods, and foods with skins and shells, such as chestnuts, eggs, etc., to avoid explosion contamination or damage to the microwave oven.

4. It is strictly forbidden to use the microwave oven without load. You can usually prepare a cup of water (glass) in the stove, take it out when using it, and then put it in after heating the food to avoid burning out the microwave oven without loading.

5. Due to the limited power of microwaves, food that is too large should be decomposed evenly (about 3 cm for meat and 5-7 cm for other foods) to avoid uneven rawness and cooking. When heating large foods such as whole chickens or ducks, it is best to turn the food over after heating for a period of time so that all parts can be heated evenly.

6. During the use of the microwave oven, the oven door should be properly protected to prevent microwave leakage due to deformation or damage of the oven door. Don't try to start the microwave oven when the oven door is open. This is very dangerous.

6. Choose a shorter cooking time than a longer one to avoid overheating, burning or even catching fire. And reheating is very convenient.

7. When the microwave oven is working, you should stay away from the furnace body. Although there is safety insurance, you must also prevent microwave radiation from harming the human body in the event of occurrence.

Precautions for heating rice in a microwave oven:

1. Do not overcook. It is better to undercook than to overcook. If overcooked, the color, aroma and taste of the dishes will be affected, and the heated food will lose moisture. Therefore, heat as much of a portion of food as you want each time, and do not reheat it repeatedly. If you forget to take it out for more than 3 hours, you should throw it away to avoid food poisoning.

2. Add the right amount of oil when cooking. It is difficult to control the temperature by adding too much oil, so the heating time of the oil must be strictly controlled. If the heating time is too long, the oil will splash and cause a fire.
