SAFETY
FACT

SUPERHEATED WATER

Liquids, such as water,
coffee or tea, are able to

be overheated beyond
the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling.

Visible bubbling or boiling
when the container is

removed from the
microwave oven is not

always present. THIS
COULD RESULT IN VERY

HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY
BOILING OVER WHEN THE

CONTAINER IS DISTURBED
OR A SPOON OR OTHER

UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THELIQUID.

To red uce the risk o/il+j _yr
to persons:

-- Do not overheat the
liquid.

-- Stir the liquid l)oth
