I will attempt to explain my choices:

In the first sentence, it sounds to me like directions/instructions to be followed - do this so that it doesn't .........

In the second it sounds more like information - you will have to ......... so it won't ...

Hope that helps.

Actually, I feel your points are reversed. the simple present sounds more like information to me. Water doesn't boil at 70. Fire does create heat.
