7 basic teachings for the proper use of your microwave.
Hello dear steemians.
Today I want to dedicate and deepen a very important topic for the people that most of the time use microwaves in their kitchen. This product that makes it easy for everyone in the kitchen has certain rules of use that we must review or learn.
During the years that I've worked as an appliance technician, I've come to realize that most microwave breakdowns or failures are due to misuse. This is because a large number of people do not read the instruction manual, but even if they read the instruction manual carefully, they do not usually teach all the measures to be used for its proper use.

Outside the instructions there are certain parameters that I will teach you so that you can extend the life of your equipment yourself. We will also go over some that are in the manual and are relevant to good care.
Here are 7 lessons that will prevent early product failure:
1- Do not place metal elements when starting the heat option.
This alert is important because the product emits heat-generating waves and can cause interference if metals are detected. When interfering, the wave is returned to its origin, causing internal damage to the paint and can also cause a major malfunction, which will prevent the microwave from continuing to meet its target.
In some cases the microwave can work with metal objects, but this only applies to a specific “grill” option.
2- Do not operate the equipment without anything inside.
It often happens that nothing is placed internally to heat and it is likely that the wave will also be returned occurring the same way as in the previous indication.
3- Do not clean the touch control panel with wet or damp cloths.
The tactile control has electronic tracks or also called electronic membrane that indicate to the product the marked functions, this membrane is very sensitive to contact with water. Any liquid that attempts to pass through the touchpad to clean it can leak through and cause severe shorts.
I recommend that you clean the touchpad with absolute alcohol so that it cleans and evaporates instantly without penetrating. Another recommendation is to remove the plastic protector that the keyboard has when it is to be used the first time, because this protector generates moisture.
4- Do not cook food in microwaves.
Customers tend to cook food in microwaves such as potatoes, bananas, rice, among others; but operation followed by more than ten minutes causes the product to overheat and damage.
I mention that only some products are designed to cook food, these microwaves are those that work in combination with grill and are the ones that have the specific options in control panel.
5. Do not open the door before the time is up.
In cases where the door is opened while the microwave continues to operate, it may cause short circuits that sulphate the door sensors. If the time is not up yet and you don't want the unit to continue operating, you can press the "stop" key, this way you can open the door without causing any damage.
6. Remove the plastic that covers the product.
Equipment when purchased comes with a plastic cover that must be removed, although many do not remove it so that the product will not be scratched, but this plastic clogs the microwave ventilation openings and can be damaged by overheating. There are also people who make a slot where the openings for ventilation are, but that is not enough should be removed completely.

7. Remove excess steam and water.
The oxidation of the product can be generated by two factors of neglect, the first by the accumulation of steam formed by food and the second by the accumulation of fat. A third factor influencing oxidation can be considered as cleaning, because after cleaning the appliance, it is not dried properly, leaving water particles inside it.
I recommend as a measure to prevent rust, that you should clean with a dry cloth the areas that we see with steam or grease, we can also leave the door open to evaporate the accumulated water and take precautions to dry the product thoroughly when cleaning. I'll add one last recommendation, for cleaning the microwave is simply water with degreaser for dishes and we can add a little Benzol.
These are the 7 teachings you must learn and teach your family that uses the microwave, so that you can enjoy this equipment for years without it being damaged by misuse.
I hope that the information provided will put it to use and always remember that knowledge is shared so that it will last over time.
