We restore fire damage 24-hours a day in San Diego County.

SERVPRO^® of San Diego City SW has been restoring fire damage in the Logan Heights area of San Diego for many years. Microwave ovens are convenient and used by many to reheat and cook food, but improper use can cause fire damage. Here are some microwave oven safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

• PURCHASE a microwave oven that is listed by a qualified testing laboratory. Make sure to complete and return the product registration card. This way, the manufacturer can reach you if there is a recall on the product.
• PLUG the microwave oven directly into the wall outlet — never use an extension cord
• MAKE sure the microwave oven is at a safe height, within easy reach of all users
• OPEN food slowly, away from the face. Hot steam or the food itself can cause burns.
• FOOD heats unevenly in microwave ovens. Stir and test before eating or giving to children.
• NEVER heat a baby bottle in the microwave. Since a microwave oven heats unevenly, it can create hot pockets, leading to burns. Warm the baby bottle in a bowl of warm, not hot or boiling, water, or by running it under the tap.
