SPECIAL N07 2S ABOUF MICRO WAVING

SAFETYFACT

SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water,

coffee or tea, are able to
be overheated beyond
the boiling pohlt without
appearing to be boiling.

Visible bubbling or boiling

removed from the microwave
oven is not always present.

THIS COULD RESULT
IN VERYHOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER

WHEN THE CONTAINER IS

DISTURBED OR A SPOON
OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk ot i_jm T
