DrawerMicro Oven comfortably.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the DrawerMicro
Oven.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove
coverings carefully, 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

Children need to learn that the DrawerMicro Oven is not a toy. See page 25

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area
away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during
cooking, unless it is approved for microwave use.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are
in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly
lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and
oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the DrawerMicro Oven while it's in use and check cooking prog-
ress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the DrawerMicro Oven for storing cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and
minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
