SUPER HEATED WATER

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get super heated and not bubble at all.

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions

Super heated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup.

After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into it.

Spontaneous boiling

Under certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven.

To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following before removing the container from the oven:

■Allow the container to stand in the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off.

■Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or overflow.
