Cover
A cover:
– prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook.
– speeds up the cooking process.
– prevents food from drying out.
– helps keep the oven interior clean.
When using the Microwave func-
tion
always cover the food with a
lid or cover made of microwave safe
glass or plastic.
Covers are available from retail out-
lets.
Alternatively, use a clingfilm recom-
mended for use in a microwave oven
(pierce as instructed by the manufac-
turer). Heat can cause normal clingfilm
to distort and fuse with the food.
The cover should not form a seal
with the container. If the cover is
used with a container which only has
a narrow diameter, there might not
be enough room for condensation to
escape through the holes in the side
of the cover. The cover could get too
hot and could start to melt.
Do not cook or reheat food or li-
quids in sealed containers, jars or
bottles. With baby bottles, the screw
cap and teat must be removed. Oth-
erwise pressure builds up which can
cause the bottle or container to ex-
plode, posing a severe risk of injury.
