Important Information
Ecologically responsible disposal of packaging materials and
old appliances
Packaging Materials
AEG microwave ovens require effective packaging to protect them during transportation.
Only the minimum packaging necessary is used.
Packaging materials (e.g. foil or polystyrene) can place children at risk.
Danger of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.
All packaging materials used are environment friendly and recyclable. The cardboard is
made from recycled paper and the wooden parts are untreated. Plastic items are marked as
follows:
>PE< polyethylene eg packaging film
>PS< polystyrene eg packing (CFC-free)
>PP< polypropylene eg packaging straps
By using and re-using the packaging, raw materials are saved and waste volume is re-
duced.
Packaging should be taken to your nearest recycling centre. Contact your local council to
find out where this is.
Disposal of old appliances
Old appliances should be made safe before disposal by removing the plug, and cutting off
and disposing of the power cable.
It should then be taken to the nearest recycling centre or returned to your electrical retailer,
who may dispose of it for a small charge.

The appliance should only be operated with the turntable and turntable support in-
serted.
Only suitable microwave ovenware should be used.
If smoke is observed keep the oven door closed and disconnect the power supply.
Never ever use the microwave oven if it is no longer functioning properly.
Damaged appliance parts can only be replaced by exactly the same make of parts. Spe-
cial tools are required for this operation.
This appliance complies with all relevant safety regulations. In order to maintain the
safety of your appliance, repairs should only be carried out by a fully qualified electrician,
trained by the manufacturer. Repairs carried out by unqualified electricians can place the
user in severe danger. In the case of any defect or breakdown please therefore contact
your local electrical dealer or the AEG Service Department direct.

Never jam anything between the door and door frame
Always keep the door seals and their surfaces clean
Do not keep any flammable items in the microwave. They could ignite when the unit is
switched on.
Switch the appliance on only when food has been placed in the cooking space. The ma-
chine can overload if there is no food present.
Microwaves
О
To avoid delayed boiling when heating li-
quids, always place ateaspoon in the con-
tainer. Ensure the spoon does not touch
the walls of the oven. When delayed boil-
ing occurs, boiling point is reached without
the usual bubbles and steam rising. If this
happens, sudden shaking of the container,
however slight, can cause the liquid to
suddenly and vigorously boil over or spurt.
There is a risk of scalding.
Food with “skin” or “peel” such as pota-
toes, tomatoes, sausages etc must be
pierced with a fork to allow any steam pre-
sent to escape. This will prevent the food
from bursting.
Safety Instructions
Microwaves
3 A minimum temperature of 70 °C is neces-
sary to cook or heat food.
To achieve this simply follow the instruc- 70°
tions given in the cooking tables (time/
power). Never use a mercury or liquid
thermometer for measuring food tem- 0°
peratures.
mind. 70°C
J Baby food in jars or bottles should always be heated without a lid or top,. They must also
be stirred well or shaken after heating to ensure uniform distribution of heat. Always
check the temperature before feeding your child.
J The hot food in a microwave oven will heat up the ovenware. For this reason always use
oven gloves for handling hot dishes.
D Never overcock your food for too long or at too high a power setting. Some areas of the
food can dry out and even ignite.
Never use your microwave oven:
— to boil eggs or escargots in their shells, otherwise they will burst. Eggs can be poached or
“fried” in a microwave oven as long as the yolks are pricked.
— to heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue or deep frying) and drinks containing a high
percentage of alcohol! — there is a danger of spontaneous combustion!
— to heat unopened cans, bottles etc.
— to dry animals, textiles and paper.
— for crockery like porcelain, ceramics or earthenware with porous holes (e.g. on the hand-
les or unglazed bases) that can fill up with water. This can cause vapour pressure to build
up during cooking which could shatter the dish.

Grill/Hot-air
(M Only pre-heat the oven before use for sur-
face grilling, Rotitherm roasting / grilling or
hot air. Never pre-heat for combination
mode or microwave only.
O The viewing window heats up during
combination, surface grilling, Rotitherm
roasting / grilling and hot-air cooking, so
keep small children well away from the
appliance.
J To close the oven door when the viewing
window is hot, press the trapezoid plate on
the lower right-hand side of the door.
A The cooking area, the grill heating ele-
ments, the shelf racks, the turntable and
the anti-splash glass plate become very
hot during all modes except microwave
Only. You should therefore take care before
touching anything.

What else to look out for …
D Food comes in all shapes, sizes and textures. The quantities also vary. For these reasons
the time and amount of energy needed to defrost, heat or cook will also vary.
As a general rule:
Double the power = nearly double the time
Please refer to the cooking tables. To be on the safe side, always select the shorter cook-
ing time. Then extend the time as necessary.
J Microwaves work by making the food heat itself up. Because of this, not all areas of the
food will be heated at the same time. When heating larger quantities of food, it is particu-
larly important to stir or turn them over.
O “Standing time” is referred to in the cooking tables. This is the time you should leave the
food to stand without power (either inside or outside the appliance). This ensures even
distribution of heat throughout the food.

element around the cooking area. The food is heated on all sides. Ideal for baking
using the baking sheet, the ceramic dish or a baking tin.
Rotitherm roasting / grilling
The fan and the grill heating elements both operate at the same time. Larger pieces
of meat and poultry can be grilled or roasted in this mode.
Grilling
Heat is generated by a grilling element set in the roof of the oven. This is particularly
suitable for toasting and grilling eg steaks and sausages.
Combination mode
The microwave mode can be used with either hot-air, infratherm grilling or surface
grilling. Dishes will be cooked more quickly, whilst being crisp and brown at the
same time.

Practical tips for use
General
A After switching off your appliance, allow food to stand inside for a few minutes (standing
time).
D Remove any aluminium foil or metal containing packaging before preparing the food.
O Metal objects must be placed at least 2cm away from the cooking space walls and door.
Otherwise arcing can occur, resulting in damage to the appliance.
Cooking
— Whenever possible cook in covered containers. Only when a crust is desired or is to be
kept, should you cook food in uncovered containers.
— Refrigerated or frozen food requires a longer cooking time.
— Foods containing sauces should be stirred from time to time.
— Cook vegetables with firm consistency such as carrots, peas and cauliflower with a little
walter.
— Cook vegetables with soft consistency, such as mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes
without liquid.
— Increase cooking time by approximately a half for larger pieces
— Where possible, cut vegetables into equal sized pieces
Defrosting of meat, poultry and fish
— Place frozen, unpacked meat on an inverted plate in a glass or porcelain container, or use
a sieve, so that the meat juice can drain.
— Halfway through defrosting, turn the food, dividing it where possible and removing the
pieces that have defrosted.
Defrosting of butter, pieces of layer cake and cottage cheese
— Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but leave to adjust outside. This will give a more even
result.
— Remove any metal or aluminium foil packaging and/or accessories before defrosting
Defrosting of fruit and vegetables
— Fruit and vegetables that are to be used raw later should not be fully defrosted in the app-
liance, but left to adjust outside.
— Fruit and vegetable that are to be cooked straight away can be cooked straight from
frozen using a higher power level.
Ready made meals
— Ready meals in metal packages or plastic containers with metal lids should be heated or
defrosted in your microwave oven only if they are explicitly marked as being suitable for
microwave use.
— Please follow the operating instructions printed on the packages (e.g. remove the metal
lid and prick the plastic foil).

Tips on microwaving
You can’t find cooking details for
a specific quantity of food
The food is too dry
If food is not yet defrosted,
heated through or cooked
on completion of cooking time
The food is over cooked on the outside
and undercooked in the middle
on completion of cooking time
Take guidance from a similar type of food.
Lengthen or shorten the cooking time ac-
cordingly:
Double Quantity = almost Double Time
Half quantity = Half Time
Set a shorter cooking time or reduce the
microwave power output.
Select a longer cooking time or a higher mi-
crowave power setting. Note that larger
foods will require longer.
Next time try a lower power setting for a
longer time. Stir liquids, such as soup perio-
dically.

Baking table
Notes on the Baking Table:
The range of baking temperatures and times given are for guidance only, as they are de-
pendent upon the composition of the dough, the quantity and the baking tin size and
material.
We recommend that you start by using the lower temperature setting. Only select a
higher temperature if, for example, you want to brown food more, or if the baking is tak-
ing too long.
If you cannot find specific instructions for one of your recipes, follow the instructions for
one which is similar.
Unless otherwise stated, the settings given in the table are for use in a cold oven.
“Residual heat” refers to leaving the cooked dish to stand for a short time in the switched
off appliance. |
Tips for Baking
How can you be certain that the cake is
baked through?
If the cake collapses (or is soggy,
spongy or watery).
If the base of the cake is too light in colour.
If cheesecakes/cakes with a moist filling
have not cooked all the way through.
If biscuits can't be removed from the tray.
The cake does not come out of the tin
when turned upside down.
Insert a wooden skewer into the most risen
part of the cake. If no mixture sticks to the
skewer, you can switch off the oven and
leave the cake in the “residual heat”.
Check the recipe. Use less liquid next time.
Note mixing times by hand, or in particular if
you have used a mixer.
Choose a darker colour baking tin next time.
Next time choose a lower temperature and
lengthen the baking time.
Put the baking tray back in the appliance for
a short time and then remove the biscuits
immediately. Use baking parchment next
time.
Loosen the cake from the side of the tin
carefully with a knife. Turn the cake upside
down again and cover the tin with a moist,
cold cloth several times.
Next time, grease the cake tin well and also
sprinkle bread crumbs on the bottom.

Notes on the Roasting and Grilling Table:
The range of temperatures and times given are for guidance only, as they are dependent
upon the composition and size of the item being cooked, as well as the desired consis-
tency at the end.
Unless otherwise stated, the settings given in the table are for use in a cold oven.
Turn the food — if possible — after a good half of the cooking time, so both sides are
cooked and browned evenly.
Always place the oven-proof glass dish under the wire shelf when using the combined
mode with microwave.

Notes on the grilling table:
The grill temperatures and times given are for guidance only, as they are dependent
upon the type and quality of the meat. |
Grilling is ideal for flat pieces of meat and fish.
Unless otherwise stated, the settings given in the table are for use in a cold oven.
Flat foods should be turned only once. Larger, rounder pieces should be turned more
times.
Fish are best placed head to tail on the wire shelf.
The oven-proof glass dish or the baking tray can be fitted on the same level with the wire
shelf.

Tips on roasting and grilling
The roast is too dark in colour
and the skin is cracked in places.
The roast looks fine but the gravy is burnt.
The roast looks fine but the gravy
is too light.
You cannot find any setting in the tables
for the weight of your roast.
Check the shelf level and the temperature as
well as the microwave power level. Next time
choose a lower temperature and/or lower
microwave power level.
Next time use a smaller roasting dish or add
more liquid.
Next time use a larger roasting dish and/or
add less liquid.
Choose the setting for something which is
closest in weight to the item you want to
roast — and lengthen or shorten the cooking
time accordingly.

Cleaning and care
The Appliance Exterior
Wipe the front of the appliance using a soft cloth and a mild, warm detergent solution.
Do not use abrasive cleaning substances, strong detergents or coarse abrasive cleaning
materials.
Cooking area
The interior will stay in good condition for along time if you don't use scouring pads or rough
abrasive materials.
The grill heating element is built into the appliance and cannot be removed.
For easier cleaning of the cooking area roof, always keep the anti-splash glass plate in
place.
You can neutralise odours inside the cooking area by boiling a cup of water with a little lemon
juice for a few minutes in your oven.
Turntable and Turntable support
The turntable can be removed by pressing down on the edge of one side so that the other
side tilts up.
Ve
Clean the turntable using washing-up liquid, or put it in the dishwasher. Clean the turntable
support with washing-up liquid.
Anti-splash glass plate
This should be removed straight after each use and cleaned using washing-up liquid or in a
dishwasher.
Other accessories
The wire racks, shelves, baking tray and oven-proof glass dish should be removed immedi-
ately after use and soaked in an appropriate cleaning fluid. Food remains can then be re-
moved quite easily using a brush and normal washing-up liquid.
