IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never heat liquids in narrow necked

erupting from the container when
heated and cause burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling
liquid and possible scalding:
1. Do not use excessive amount of time.
2. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
3. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or
similar utensil (not metal) into the
liquid whilst reheating.
4. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds
in the oven at the end of cooking time
to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.
3. Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes,
sausages and fruit before cooking, or
they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
1. Use pot holders or oven gloves when
removing food from the oven to prevent
burns.

makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away
from the face and hands to avoid steam
burns and eruption of boiling.
3. To avoid burns, always test food
temperature and stir before serving
and pay special attention to the
temperature of food and drink given
to babies, children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not
a true indication of the temperature
of the food or drink; always check the
food temperature.
