However, in daily use, there are still many people who do not know the correct use of the microwave oven. Accidents that cause improper use of the microwave oven also occur from time to time. Let's take a look at what is the usage of the microwave oven and the precautions for using the microwave oven.

What is the usage of the microwave oven?

1. Before using, we must first look at the instructions. It will tell you some specific practices, as well as some things to pay attention to. Don't be too troublesome. In fact, as long as you read it carefully, you will understand what to do and what not to do.

Steps for using the microwave oven: Press the “Microwave” button to select the corresponding microwave power; press the minute and second button to select the cooking time; press the “Start” button to cook the microwave oven.

Microwave ovens can now be classified into two categories according to their function classification. A microwave oven with a single microwave heating function will have a cooling air of water vapor during cooking, which generally does not affect the environmental cleaning. Such a microwave oven is not obstructed in the kitchen, bedroom or living room. A microwave oven with a grill function, a light wave function, and a hot air convection function may be placed in a room with high environmental cleaning conditions when the cooking fumes are discharged.

In addition, the placement of the microwave oven is also very important. The microwave oven should be placed on a flat, ventilated countertop or shelf. The distance between the back, top and sides and the siding is generally required to be more than 10 cm. The distance between the top of the microwave oven with grill function, light wave function and hot air convection function is at least 15 cm.

Microwave oven use precautions

If the microwave oven is used improperly, it is still dangerous. Let's take a look at its precautions:

1. The location of the microwave oven is very important. The microwave oven should be placed in a ventilated place, and there should be no magnetic substances in the vicinity, so as not to interfere with the uniform state of the magnetic field in the furnace chamber, so that the working efficiency is lowered. Also leave a certain distance from the TV and radio, otherwise it will affect the visual and listening effects.

2. Do not open the switch when not in use. Do not energize when cooking food is not in the oven. Do not allow the microwave oven to run at no load, otherwise the magnetron will be damaged. In order to prevent inadvertent operation and no-load operation, a glass filled with water can be built in the furnace chamber.

3. Be careful when heating the container. All metal tableware, heat-resistant containers such as bamboo, plastic, lacquerware, and embossed glass products are not suitable for use in microwave ovens. Porcelain dishes cannot be set with gold or silver lace. The container containing the food must be placed in a special dish for the microwave oven and cannot be placed directly in the oven cavity.

4, heating time should pay attention. The heating time of the microwave oven depends on the materials and dosage, and is also related to the freshness and water content of the food. Since the heating time of various foods is different, when the heating time required for the food is not certain, it should be shorter, and the heating time can be added after the heating. Otherwise, if the time is too long, the food will become hard and lose the fragrance, color and taste. According to the type of food and cooking requirements, adjust the timing and power (temperature) knob, you can read the instructions carefully to understand.

5. Prevent explosion when heating. Shelled eggs and foods in sealed packages cannot be cooked directly to avoid explosion.

6, the microwave food should avoid overtime heating. The food is thawed or heated in a microwave oven. If you forget to take it out, if it takes more than 2 hours, you should throw it away to avoid food poisoning.

7, ordinary plastic containers are not resistant to high temperatures. First, hot food will deform the container. Second, ordinary plastic will release toxic substances, contaminate food and endanger human health.

8. Do not heat fried foods in a microwave oven. Due to the high temperature oil, splashing will cause an open flame. If you accidentally cause a fire in the furnace, do not open the door, but turn off the power first, then open the door and cool down after the fire is extinguished.

The use of microwave ovens is still very convenient, so it is recommended for daily use. However, the potential danger of microwave ovens cannot be ignored.
