Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
