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 A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-
mouthed container.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven at
least for 20 seconds before removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
18. Clean ventilation openings and grease filters frequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on ventilation openings, hood (louver) or
grease filters.
19. Use care when cleaning the louver and the grease filters. Corrosive clean-
ing agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the louver and
the grease filters.
