SAFETY - SUPERHEATED LIQUID
Liquids are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling due to the surface tension of the liquid. Visible
bubbling will not always be present when the liquid is removed from
the appliance. This could result in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over
when a utensil or other item such as a tea bag is inserted into the liquid.
To reduce the risk of injury:
• Do not overheat liquids. Do not heat any liquid for more than 2
minutes per cup.
• Stir liquids before and halfway through heating.
• Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks as this can
cause a build up of steam.
• Superheated liquid can begin to spontaneously boil when removed
from the microwave. After heating, allow the liquid to stand in the
microwave for 30 seconds before removing.
• Use extreme care when inserting a utensil or other item into hot
liquids.
• The contents of milk bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked before serving in order to avoid
burns.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages, especially carbonated beverages, in
this appliance as they could explode.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any
container that has been heated in the appliance. Direct the opening
away from hands and face to avoid burns.
SAFETY - ARCING
Arcing refers to sparks inside the microwave while it is in operation.
Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil inside the appliance.
• Recycled paper towels being used inside the appliance, as these can
contain small pieces of metal.
If arcing is present, stop operation and remove any metal or paper towels
from the appliance.
