ACCESSORIES There are many
microwave accessories available for
purchase. Evaluate carefully before you
purchase so that they meet your needs. A
microwave-safe thermometer will assist

assure you that foods have been cooked to
safe temperatures. Galanz is not

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the
microwave oven with a supervising person
very near to them. Between the ages of 7
and 12, the supervising person should be
in the same room.
The children must be able to reach the
oven comfortably; if not, he/she should
stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to
lean or swing on the oven door.
Children should be taught all safety
precautions; use potholders, remove
coverings carefully and pay special
attention to packages that crisp food
because they may be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has
mastered one cooking skill he/she can
cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave
oven is not a toy.
