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. If the microwave oven is installed as a built-in, observe the following
instructions:
a. Do not mount over a sink.
b. Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance surface when the
appliance is in operation.
19. If the microwave oven light fails, consult a VIKING AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
