SAFETYFACT
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water,
coffee or tea, are able to

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 ASPOON
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

through heating it.
-- Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow
