Cover
Useful tip:
Covers are available from
retail outlets.
– A cover prevents too much steam
escaping, especially when cooking
foods which need longer to cook.
– It speeds up the heating process of
the food.
– It prevents food from drying out.
– It helps keep the oven interior clean.
Use a glass or plastic cover suitable
for microwave use for cooking
programmes with the
Microwave
function.
Alternatively, use a cling film suitable
for use in a microwave oven. Heat can
cause normal cling film to distort and
fuse with the food.
The cover can withstand
temperatures of up to 110 °C. At
higher temperatures (e.g. in the
Grill
or
Fan Plus
functions), the
plastic may distort and fuse with the
food.
Only use a cover for the
Microwave
function.
The cover should not form a seal
with the container. If the container
has a narrow diameter, the steam
may not be able to escape. The
cover could get too hot and start to
melt.
Use containers with a sufficiently
large diameter.
Do
not
use a cover for reheating the
following types of food:
– Food coated in breadcrumbs
– Food which requires a crisp finish,
e.g. toast
– Food which must be heated with the
MW + Auto Roast
,
MW + Fan
Plus
,
MW + Grill
