Frequency of breakage
How often should these break. We have recently had three in two months (Five in four years). I am not overtightening so does this indicate a problem with the glass or the oven itself.

Re Keith Harris: The usual cause of failure is expansion due to heat, are you using a 'self clean or pyro clean' function as these can produce very high temperatures (400c) to incinerate the deposits?.
- We too are suffering frequent breaks. Always the threads coming away from the bowl of the cover. Have tried fitting really loosely but same happens. Could it be a design/ manufacturing fault? Perhaps of this batch? Definitely not fit for purpose. The lamp is in the grill by the way.

If the cover is tightened when the oven heats the glass expands causing pressure on its surround. Only screw up loosely to prevent this re occuring.
