What happens when the microwave oven is heated for too long?

Index > Power Life > Electrical Safety

When using a microwave oven, is the time set as long as possible?

NO! NO! NO!

Like a pork steamed buns set with 700W firepower, as long as it is heated for 5 minutes, it will start to burn! Because the heating is too long, the food will lose water and carbonize and produce flammable gas. When the flammable gas is filled in the microwave oven, the carbonized part of the food will spark due to electrification, and the flammable gas will be ignited to burn!

So when using a microwave oven, remember to:
🔸For example, if you need to heat the ingredients that contain sweet potatoes and meat, you may burn them quickly. Therefore, it is recommended to heat according to the manual.
🔸Do not leave when heating.
🔸When heating together with the package, make sure the package indicates "microwave."
🔸Do not use metal containers.

When the microwave oven smokes, turn off the power! Do not open the door of the microwave oven! And observe the fire, prepare fire extinguishers and other fire-fighting equipment and alarm, if you cannot put out the fire, remember to "close the door of the kitchen" and leave waiting for rescue!

p.s. It is recommended to install a residential fire alarm in the kitchen.
