Suitable containers for microwave ovens
26
A heat-retaining cover
- prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods with
longer reheating times.
- speeds up the reheating process.
- prevents food from drying out.
- helps keep the oven compartment
clean.
 When using Microwave Solo mode,
always cover food with a microwave-
safe heat-retaining cover.
Suitable heat-retaining covers are avail-
able from retail outlets.
You can use a cling film recommended
for use in a microwave oven instead of
the heat-retaining cover. Heat can
cause normal cling film to distort and
fuse with the food.
 Damage due to heat-sensitive
plastic.
The material of the cover can generally
withstand temperatures of up to
110°C (see manufacturer information).
At higher temperatures the plastic can
distort and fuse with the food.
The cover can therefore only be used
in microwave ovens and only in
Microwave Solo mode without the
gourmet plate.
 Damage due to covered openings.
If the cover is used with a container
with a small diameter, the cover could
form a seal around the container and
steam may not be able to escape
through the openings in the side of the
cover. 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 heat-retaining cover if:
- food coated with breadcrumbs is be-
ing heated.
- cooking food which needs a crisp fin-
ish, e.g. toast.
- the gourmet plate is being used.
 Danger of explosion due to pres-
sure build-up.
Pressure can build up during reheat-
ing in sealed containers or bottles,
causing them to explode.
Sealed glass containers, such as jars
of baby food, must be opened before
they are heated in the microwave
oven. Do not attempt to heat them up
unopened. With baby bottles, the
screw top and teat must be taken off.
