Information you Need To Know
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 can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is
not a toy. See page 24 for Child Lock feature.
