The first order of business after you unpack your new microwave oven is to set the appliance on a flat, dry surface. When placing the microwave oven in an appropriate place, you need to make sure that it is kept away from any radiation, your stove, or near any electric or gas range.

Place it on a dry and flat surface.
Make sure that the vents on the side are not blocked.

Heating food in the microwave oven is a very easy task, but there are a few precautions that you need to keep in mind when heating your food.
After four days, the food in the fridge accumulates bacteria that are very harmful to the overall health of the systems so leftovers more than four days old have likely gone very bad or have too many bacteria to be considered safe.
If you pile food up in the center of a bowl or plate, it is very likely to start burning from the edges. It is thus advised that you arrange the food in a ring in the bowl and plate to ensure uniform heating.
Covering the food helps prevent the splattering or sticking of the food all over the microwave walls when heated. For this purpose, it is important that you use a thick plastic cover before you start heating.
Even after years of use, you can still not be certain just how much time a certain food requires to heat up. The calculation might be tricky so it is always advised that you heat it up a little at a time. Take the food out of the microwave oven and stir it to see if it is done.
These are just some basic tips, steps, and precautions that you need to follow when you get Orient’s best microwave oven.
