First Aid
Treat scalding by:
• Quickly placing the scald under cold running water for at
least 10 minutes.
• Cover with a clean dry dressing. Do not use creams, oils or
lotions.
Cleaning Your Microwave
• The microwave should be cleaned regularly and food
deposits removed. Failure to maintain the microwave in
a clean condition can aect the life of the microwave and
possibly result in a hazardous situation. (See cleaning your
microwave.)
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the unit.
Do Not Use These In Your Microwave
• Metal objects are not to be used in the microwave. These
include:
- Metal cooking utensils.
- Metal plates or trays
- Wine twist ties
- Crockery with metal trims
- Meat thermometer
• Never use equipment made of metal, except aluminium
foil in your microwave. The microwave energy cannot pass
through the metal so it bounces o and sparks against the
inside of the microwave.
• Stop the microwave straight away if any equipment is
causing sparks.
• Remember that some crockery has a metal trim around
the edge. Even this trim can cause sparks.
Containers
Warning : Pressure will build up in sealed containers and
can cause them to explode. Therefore, do not use the
following in your microwave:
- Sealed containers - Capped bottles
- Vacuum containers - Sealed jars
- Hard-boiled eggs - Eggs in their shells
