The Cover - Miele M 6012 SC 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.
– prevents soiling in the oven interior.
Always cover food with the cover
supplied when cooking on Microwave
Solo.
Alternatively, use lids or covers made of
microwave-safe glass or plastic, or use
a clingfilm recommended for use in a
microwave oven (pierce as instructed
by the manufacturer).
Heat can cause normal clingfilm to
distort and fuse with the food.

,
Never cook or reheat food or
liquids in sealed containers, jars or
bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top
and teat must be loosened.
Otherwise pressure builds up which
can cause the bottle or container to
explode, posing a severe risk of
injury.
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.
– the Gourmet plate is being used.
,
Because the cover can only
withstand temperatures of up to
110 °C, it must only be used in
Microwave Solo mode.
It must not be used in conjunction
with the Gourmet plate. At
temperatures in excess of 110 °C,
the plastic can melt 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. The cover could
get too hot and could start to melt.
