placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
17.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to
be 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 CON-
TAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce
the risk of injury to persons; 1) Do not overheat the liquid. 2) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it. 3) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. 4) After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container. 5) Use extreme care when
inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
18.
Avoid heating small-necked containers such as syrup bottles.
19.
Avoid using corrosive and vapors, such as sulfide and chloride.
20.
Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheat-
ed. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (instant
coffee, etc.), resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. In all containers, for best results, stir the liquid
several times before heating. Always stir liquid several times between reheatings.
