MICROWAVE OVEN:

Here are some Safety Measures that must be followed while using a microwave:

Do not use disposable paper / plastic / aluminium containers to heat food in microwave as they can catch fire. Use only microwave safe Dishes/ containers for heating.
No flammable food or beverage: Do not heat or cook any food and beverage item that is flammable in nature ( i.e. items that catch fire). Heating such items can cause fire or explosion inside microwave.
Do not heat sealed / foil packed food / whole eggs/ de-skinned potatoes in microwave as they can explode .
Do not cover food while heating in microwave.
Do not keep any objects/ paper / foil that can cover microwave from top when in use as this may lead to risk of fire.
Never ever attempt to use microwave with door open or use damaged cavity microwave as this can lead to exposure to microwave radiations.
Incase any food items catches fire immediately turn off the power unplug the device and keep oven door closed.
Before removing the heated / cooked food allow it remain in microwave for a minute. Though not common still there is a possibility that liquids can get too heated in microwave and even explode. This can happen when using a perfectly smooth container as the smooth surface does not allow the formation of bubbles thereby trapping immense heat in the liquid. However you can rest assured that most cups and bowls are not completely smooth. If you are still worried consider putting a wooden spoon a non-metal stir stick or even a toothpick in the bowl while placing it in the microwave to avoid superheating this will reduce risk of burn for the user.
Do not use oversized containers in microwave to avoid fire or electric shock.
Never store food in microwave. Clean the food spillage and splatters of food inside the microwave after every use to avoid unpleasant smell.

CLEANING TIPS :

After cooking in the microwave leave the door open for a little while to let the odors out.
It is suggested to clean your microwave at least one or two times in month.
To clean microwave fill microwave safe bowl with 1/2 cup of water and 1 table spoon of white vinegar and place in microwave and start the microwave for 5 minutes on high powerlevel. leave the bowl for 15 minutes in microwave. the steam will loosen the food splatters which can be wiped with clean damp cloth.
If you are bothered by the lingering smell of food in the microwave consider leaving an open box of baking soda in it overnight. Coffee is also believed to absorb odors. Thus you may place in the microwave a small plate or bowl filled with used coffee ground beans. Alternatively add two tablespoons of coffee grounds in half a cup of water and heat it in the microwave for about three minutes
Deal with spills and stains immediately.
The microwave oven should be serviced only by service personnel. Therefore call for only professional help for your microwave examination repair or adjustment.

Letting your oven remain coated in carbon can eventually taint your food and even become a fire hazard. Read on for instructions on how to clean your oven.

Prepare to clean the oven. Choose a time to clean the oven when your kitchen area is at its least active. Keep children and pets away from the kitchen while the oven is cleaning Open your windows to ventilate the kitchen, so your family won't be inhaling the fumes.
Remove the oven racks & baking trays. Place them in a sink full of warm water mixed with a few drops of dishwashing liquid to soak.
Make a cleaning solution. Load a 1-liter spray bottle with 4 tablespoons (56.7g) of baking soda and fill the rest with water. Shake the spray bottle to moisten and dissolve the baking soda.
Spray down the oven. Spray the interior of a cold oven, focusing on the charred and stained areas, until the carbon is completely saturated.
For particularly dirty ovens, increase the ratio of baking powder to water so that you have more of a paste than a liquid. Spread the paste all over the charred areas.
Allow the solution or paste to soak in for at least an hour. After an hour, test to area to see if the charred part has loosened. If it's still hard as a rock, douse it again with baking soda solution and allow it to sit for another hour.
If it's loose enough to scrub off, proceed to the next step.
Use a scrubber to remove the loosened carbon. Wear rubber gloves if you don't want your hands to get black from the soot, Spray the area with more baking soda solution as you go to make the loosening process easier.
Sweep out the debris you chipped off.Use a small brush and dustpan.
Spray the oven interior with the baking soda solution again. Allow it to soak in for an additional hour, then use a scrubber to remove the remaining carbon.
Wipe down the oven once more with a solution of half vinegar, half water. At this point the interior of your oven should be clean. If caked-on carbon remains, try repeating the above steps.
Clean the oven racks. Scrub the oven racks in the soapy water. Rinse them off and dry them, then replace them in the oven.
Sprinkle salt over the affected area, then close the oven door and finish cooking your food, After you remove the food and turn off the oven, wipe up the spill immediately with a damp sponge. Use a half-vinegar half-water solution for tougher messes.
