        It should be, if you have a thermometer that'll go that high. Besides,
that 0-70C is _operating_ temperature; the survival/storage temperature is
typically at least ten degrees C above and below that, or -10 - 80C (14 -
176F). Since water above 140F can cause scalding, I very much doubt you
have it turned up high enough to fry the parts. :)
