Cover
The cover:
– prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
– speeds up the reheating process.
– prevents food from drying out.
– helps keep the oven interior clean.
When using the Microwave
function, always cover the food with a
lid or cover made of microwave safe
glass or plastic.
These are available from retail outlets.
Alternatively, 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.
Description of the functions
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
liquids in sealed containers, jars or
bottles using microwave power. With
baby bottles, the screw top and teat
must be removed. Otherwise
pressure builds up which can cause
the bottle or container to explode,
posing a severe risk of injury.
