SAFETYFACT

SUPERHEATED WATER

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

he overheated beyond
the boiling point without
appearing to he 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 THE LIQUID.

To 1"('(Ime tilt" risk o/inj/IFV
to persons:

-- Do not overheat tile

liquid.

-- Stir the liquid both

bell)re and hall\ray

through heating it.

-- Do not use straight-sided

containers with narrow
necks.

-- ,\lter heating, allow

the comainer to stm/d
in the microwa\e oven
/or a short time belore

rel//O\'illg the containeE

-- Use extrelile care when

inserting a st)oon or

containec

• A_oid heating baby/ood
ill glass jars, even with tile

lid o/E Make sure all
in/iu/t/ood is thoroughly

looked. Stir/ood to
distribute the heat e_vnlv.

Be carefld to prevem
scalding when warming

tormula or breast milk.
The container may teel
cooler than the milk really
is. Always test the milk

betore tceding tile baby.

• Don't detrost trozen
beverages ill narrow-

necked bottles (especially
carbonated beverages).

Even if the container is

opened, t)ress/lre Call

SPECIAL N07 2S ABOU£ MICRO WAVING

Make sure all cookware
