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
