The Cover - Miele M 6262 TC Operating Instructions Manual

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.
Alternatively, you can use lids or covers
made of microwave-safe glass or
plastic, or cling film recommended for
use in a microwave oven by the
manufacturer. Normal cling film may
distort with the heat and fuse with the
food.

The cover can withstand
temperatures of up to 110 °C.
At higher temperatures the plastic
may distort and fuse with the food.
Therefore it must only be used in
microwave ovens and only with
Microwave Solo mode without the
Gourmet plate.
Suitable containers for microwave use

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 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, such as toast.
– the gourmet plate is being used.

Pressure can build up when
reheating food or drinks in sealed
containers, jars or bottles, which can
cause them to explode.
Sealed glass containers, such as jars
of baby food, must be opened before
they are placed in the microwave. Do
not attempt to heat them up
unopened. With baby bottles, the
screw top and teat must be taken
off.
