Microwave ovens
should be located on countertops, not mounted above the stove. Such devices
should be located on countertops at an appropriate height for anyone in the
household who might use them can reach them safely. Hot foods or beverages
which are difficult to reach above the stove could spill while being removed
and cause scald injury to the face and hands.
Use only
microwave-safe dishes and cookware to heat foods and beverages.
Always allow food
and beverages to cool down for a minute before removing them from a microwave
oven.
Mix combined or
compartmented dish contents before serving. Microwave ovens do not always
heat food evenly.
