Tips & Warnings
To avoid burns, always test-touch the side of the unit to make sure it has cooled before attempting to remove it from the microwave. Use additional caution when using the handles to pull the sanitizer from your microwave as the hot water in the unit can splash out possibly burning you or anyone nearby.
