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.

careful to prevent scalding
when warming formula. The
container may feel cooler than

test the formula before feeding
the baby.
