safety switches to ensure that
the power remains off when the

prevent this occurrence, the
following steps should be taken:
(a)Avoid using straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
(b)Do not overheat.
(c)Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again
halfway through the heating
time.
(d)After heating, allow to stand in
the oven for a short time,
stirring again before carefully
removing the container.

removed from the oven when
the rack is not used for cooking.
