The Cover - Miele M 6160 TC Operating Instructions Manual

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

The cover

– prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
– speeds up the cooking process.
– prevents food from drying out.
– helps keep the oven interior clean.
 When using Microwave Solo, always
cover food with the cover supplied.
You can use a cling film recommended
for use in a microwave oven (pierce as
instructed by the manufacturer) instead
of the cover if wished. Heat can cause
normal clingfilm to distort and fuse with
the food.

The cover can withstand
temperatures of up to 110 °C.
At higher temperatures the plastic
can distort and fuse with the food.
Therefore it must only be used in
microwave ovens and only in
Microwave Solo mode.


If the cover is used with a
container which only has a narrow
diameter, the cover could form a seal
around the container and there might
not be enough room for
condensation to escape through the
holes in the top.
The cover could get too hot and
could start to melt.
Make sure that the cover does not
form a seal.
Do not use a lid or cover if
– food coated with breadcrumbs is
being cooked.
– cooking meals which are to be given
a crisp finish.

Pressure can build up when
reheating in sealed containers,
causing the container to explode.
Sealed glass containers, such as jars
of baby food or liquids, must be
opened before they are placed in the
oven. Do not attempt to heat them
up unopened. With baby bottles, the
screw top and teat must be taken
off.
