What precautions are required for radiation safety in the use of microwave ovens?
Follow the oven manufacturer’s instructions on recommended operating procedures and safety precautions. Never tamper with or inactivate the interlocking devices. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object into the oven. Never use the oven without the trays provided by the manufacturer unless specifically allowed in the manufacturer’s instructions. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e. an absorbing material such as food or water) in the oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the manufacturer’s instructions. Never rest heavy objects such as food containers on the door while it is open. Clean the oven cavity, the door and seals with water and a mild detergent at regular intervals. Supervise children using microwave ovens.
