Microwave Fire in Southwest Ranches Home?

We restore fire damage in Broward County “Like it never even happened.”

Our local Pembroke Pines and West Miramar teams respond to fire damage emergencies every year in Southwest Ranches. Electronic cooking appliances, like microwave ovens, make it easy to defrost or reheat food. Here are some microwave oven safety tips from 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 a bottle in a bowl of warm, not hot or boiling, water, or by running it under the tap.
