IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING
SAFETY FACT
SUPERHEATED WATER
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
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED
OR A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury
to persons:
— Do not overheat the
liquid.
— Stir the liquid both
before and halfway
through heating it.
— Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow
necks.
— After heating, allow the
container to stand in the
microwave oven for a
short time before
removing the container.
— Use extreme care when
inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the
container.

• Avoid heating baby food
in glass jars, even with the
lid off. Make sure all
infant food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir food to
distribute the heat evenly.
Be careful to prevent
scalding when warming
formula or breast milk.
The container may feel
cooler than the milk really
is. Always test the milk
before feeding the baby.
• Don't defrost frozen
beverages in narrow-
necked bottles (especially
carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is
opened, pressure can
build up. This can cause
the container to burst,
possibly resulting in
injury.
• Hot foods and steam can
cause burns. Be careful
when opening any
containers of hot food,
including popcorn bags,
cooking pouches and
boxes. To prevent
possible injury, direct
steam away from hands
and face.

• Do not overcook
potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire,
causing damage to your
oven.
• Cook meat and poultry
thoroughly—meat to at
least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160°F
(70°C) and poultry to at
least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180°F
(80°C). Cooking to these
temperatures usually
protects against
foodborne illness.
