With a microwave oven, the major safety precautions unique to the device are to ensure that metals are never placed inside and to prevent any metal item from worming its way through the gasketing and creating a wave path from inside to outside the oven. Check the door interlock from time to time to be sure that the unit shuts off immediately if the door latch is released.
Beyond that, the safety precautions are the same as for any small, electrical appliance:
- Mack sure the cord is in good condition
- Don't operate it in water or when wet
