(b)Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use first with a damp cloth and then with a soft dry cloth.
(c)Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1)Door (bent)
(2)Door hinges (broken or loose)
(3)door seals and sealing surfaces

*Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
*Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
*Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.
•NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.
NEVER heat a babys bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.
•The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns;
