Safety Instructions
To comply with safety regulations manufacturers have to draw
your attention to the following:
- According to the technical connection conditions of the elec-
tricity board serving your area, the appliance may only be
connected to the mains supply by an approved electrical
instaler.
— In the fixed connection, a device allowing the appliance to be
isolated on all poles from the mains supply witha contact open-
ing width of at least 3 mm must be provided. Suitable isolating
devices are line protection switches, fuses (to be removed
from the holder), Fl switches and contactors.
~ Please note that in the case of built-in furniture units the plastic
coating or the veneer must be applied with a heat resistant ad-
nesive (100 °C). If the plastic coating and the adhesive are not
heat resistant, it is possible for the coating to deform or be-
come detached, particularly along the edges of the built-in fur-
niture units.
- Irrespect of fire protection, the appliance conforms to type Ÿ
(IEC 335-2-6). Only appliances of this type may be installed on
one side of adjacent upright Kitchen housings or wails.
The distance between a hob and fume extractor hood
must be of the extent indicated in the installation in-
structions of the fume extractor hood.

Electrical connection
Local and national electrical regulations must be observed.
All instructions given by the Electricity Board must be followed
carefully when connecting the oven to the mains supply.
This is a job for a qualified and approved electrician. The appli-
ance is rated for 240 volts single phase and must be permanently
connected.
The cooker must be instalied in such a way that it can be easily
disconnected from the mains supply before servicing, e.g., by an
adjacent cooker control unit.
Sufficient cable should be left to enable the appliance to be re-
moved from the housing unit whilst still connected to the mains
supply.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED!
Voltage and current
Please ensure that the voltage and current indicated on the rating
plate agrees with the voltage of your electricity supply. 220-240

3. Connect the wires to the terminals in accordance with the dia-
gram. Ensure that links are correctly positioned between ter-
minals (5 or 6 way terminal block). The length of the earth con-
ducior must be adequate to ensure that in case of the cable
clamp breaking the earth wire is subject to mechanic strain
only after the live wires.

— Overheated fat and cooking oil may ignite. Prepare foods re-
quiring fat. or gil (chips) only under constant supervision.
— Do not use the appliance to heat your room.
— Take care when using small electrical appliances near the
cooker. Connection leads should not come in contact with hot
hobs/cooking zones or get trapped in the hot oven door.
- Do not use the ceramic hob as a table top.
— The ceramic hob is very durable but under certain circum-
stances it can break, e. g., heavy or pointed objects dropping
onto the suriace.
In case of breakage or cracks, do not use the hob. Turn all the
controls for the hab to 0 and isolate the appliance from the
electrical supply.
— Do not line the oven base with aluminium foil or piace any other
cooking utensil on the base, as this will trap heat resulting in
damage to the enamel interior. This invalidates the warranty.
- - The cooling fan, where featured in ovens and cookers, can
continue to run although all oven switches are turned off. It wil
switch itself off automatically. The cooling fan can also come
on automatically although the oven is switched off if the residu-
al heat in the cven isi00 high. The fan switches itself off auto-
matically,
~ The vitreous enamel in your oven is very durable, However vit-
recus enamel is adversely affected by fruit acids (rhubarb,
lemon, etc.) and tea which will discolour and dull the enamel.
The performance of the oven is not affected. To prevent spill-
age of the above coming in contact with the enamel, place the
cooking container on a baking sheet.
- Do not place the grill/meat pan on the cooking plate to
make gravy. The direct heat will weaken the pan base result-
ing in warping and twisting of the pan when next used as a
meat or grill pan.
- The appliance complies with radio. interference suppression
specifications EN 55014 (previously EEC Directive 87/308)
and as appropriate with EN 60555 relating to the Retroactive
Effect of the Mains Supply.

E Residual heat indicators
There is a residual heat indicator for each of the cooking plates on
the ceramic hob (2 lights on the left and 2 on the right). When the
indicator is on it means the plate is still hot. After the plate has
cooled down the indicator lamp goes out.
The vapours created in the oven(s) are vented through the back
of the hob. Further details can be found in the section "Vapour
Vent”.
The vapours created in the oven are vented through the back of

Good pans
for better
results
18
General - the correct pans
For best results use good quality pans with smooth flat
bases. -
The pan base should be thick and flat. Pans with uneven, dis-
torted or rough bases (e. d., cast iron) snould not be used as
they extend the cooking times and may cause damage to the
cooking plates.
Cooking plates and pan base should be of the same or similar
diameter. The pan should be placed centrally on the cooking
plate.
Cooking plates and pan base must be clean to prevent dam-
age to the hob and waste of energy.
Shiny and copper based pans are unsuitable for use on halo-
gen cooking plates, These pans may also damage the decor
on normal ceramic hobs so do avoid using such pans on a ce-
ramic hob. Copper base saucepans are aiso unsuitable, they —
will damage the hob surface.
Follow also the recommendations of the saucepan manufac-
turer.
Make use of the residual heat - switch the plates off 5-10 minutes
before the end of the cooking time.

(Ceramic and solid plates)
After you have switched on one of the ceramic plates you will
hear a faint hum caused by the radiant heating elements.
Do not place aluminium foil or plastic containers on the hot
ceramic hob.
Do not allow sugar or foodstuffs containing sugar to come
in contact with the hot ceramic hob - it will damage the
hob.
Protect the cooking areas from damp to prevent them from deteri-
orating: dry pan base before use; dry cooking areas weil after
cleaning.
Keep the cooking plates clean — soiled plates work less efficiently
and damage may occur to the hob.
To use the automatic cooking plate on a manual basis proceed as
follows:
Frying
- Place the frying pan on the hob and turn the control knob to 9
to heat the pan. Place the food to be fried into the pan and
lower the heat setting to 6, If this is too high or low adjust ac-
cordingiy.
Cooking
~ To bring the food to the boil turn the control to setting 9. To
reduce the heat turn the control to a setting between 1 and 5 аз
required.
Intermediate settings, e. g. 3 (or *2 on appliances with electron
ic indication) can also be selected.
The chart below will give you some recommendations for the use
of the settings between 1 and 9.
My automatic system relieves you of having to turn the control
to 9 first to heat pan and contents and then reduce the heat by
turning to a lower setting as described above.

u Hot air cooking
A fan ensures that hot air is continuously circulated around the
oven allowing you to cook, dake and roast at several levels si-
mulanecusly, This cooking method also uses lower tempera-
tures. This system saves you time and is highly energy effi-
cient.

m Rotitherm roasting/grilling
This cooking method combines the fan with the grill element. it
replaces the rotisserie in your oven and is an excellent method
of roasting/grilling meat and poultry on one level. E is also per-
fect for “au gratin” dishes.
E Grilling |
The grill element is used to grill foods such as steaks, chops,

um Bakeware
Cakes are baked either in cake ting or alternatively on baking-
sheets, tull width baking sheets are available from AEG Spare
Parts as an optional extra.
How bakeware affects browning:
1. Bakeware, which is dark in colour, has a non-stick coating
or is made from aluminium is the best as heat is absorbed
and then transferred to the cake resulting in shorter cook-
Ing times, lower energy consumption and better browning.
2. Bakeware which is light in colour or is made of tin reflect
the heat resulting in longer cooking times and poorer
browning. tt is advisabie not to use such bakeware when
using conventional top and bottom heat.
Baking on one {evel provides the best results in the
conventional mode.
The shallower the cake, the higher you should place it in the
oven.
Baking times and temperatures
in many cases, it is not necessary to preheat. The recom-
mended temperatures and times given in the enclosed chart
are guidelines only, To suit personal taste it may be necessary
to make small adjustments.
Recommendations
The hot air mode is recommended for all types of baking.
However, you may prefer cooked cheesecakes, sponges,
bread and rich fruit cakes cooked by the conventional meth-
od.
When you use the hot air cooking system you can cook on
several levels simultaneously, This saves time, is convenient
and energy efficient. You can also cook different cakes at the
same time for instance a Victoria Sandwich and a Bakewell
Tart or a Madeira Cake with a Dundee Cake, Simply make
sure that the cooking temperatures are roughly the same and
that sufficient space is left between the shelves to allow the air
to circulate freely.
If baking cakes with a high moisture content such as several
apple pies, it may be advisable to Use only 2 shelves at the
same time to prevent too much steam forming in the
oven.

a Baking times and temperatures
When baking with hot air it is often unnecessary to pre-heat
the oven. For exceptions see enclosed baking charts.
If you use the oven for batch baking, choose cakes which re-
quite similar temperatures. Different cooking times can be
overcome by either placing cakes into the oven later or by re-
moving them earlier.
The baking chart is provided as a quick reference to keep near
the oven.
When baking on more than one level the time given in ihe |
cooking charts has to be extended by 10-20 minutes.
E Baking on one or more levels
You can bake on several levels simultanecusly. Place cake tins
centrally on the wire shelves to ensure even cooking results. Full
width baking sheeis and additional wire shelves are available as
optional extras — see section “Optional Extras” in this booklet.

Cooking method
mM Choose the most suitable cooking method from the various
options:
Conventional top/botton heat
Hot air
yyy
Rotitherm roasting/grilling
Where the attached cooking charts highlight shelf positions
and temperatures in boid print the oven may give you the bet-
ter result when using this cooking method, However you may
wish to experiment and decide for yourself which cooking
method gives the best result.
A note to Rotitherm roasting/grilling as this is a relatively new
method of cooking meat and poultry although spit roasting
which Rctitherm is replacing is not so new. Rotitherm is very
much more convenient to use than a spit and once you have
tried it you will be delighted with the results.
E Recommendations
Wipe and weigh the meat. If stuffing is used, weigh the stuffed
joint to calculate the cooking time. Place the joint in a suitable
roasting dish, season with salt and. pepper and brush lean
joints with melted fat.
When cooking pies, place dish on a baking sheet to avoid
spillage on to the floor of the oven.
— The times and temperatures given in the roasting chart provide
a guide when cooking meat. Some adjustments may be nec-
essary depending on the type of meat to be cocked. Cooking
times have been given for meat which is at room tempera-
ture.
— Prime cuts can be cooked at higher temperatures than those
which require a longer cooking time to tenderise the meat. A
thick joint will require longer to cook through than a thinner
one.
— A boned rolled joint will require a longer cooking time than one
with the bone left in as bone is a conductor of heat. `
— A small joint will require longer cooking time per 450 g (1 16)
than a large one. Allow an extra 30 minutes cooking time for
joints up to and including 1.5 kg (315),
— [If the joint is cooked in foil the temperature has to be increased
by 10 °C. To brown the joint, remove foil for the last 15 minutes
or so of the cooking time,
— It cooking from frozen, place joint in a covered container and
extend the calculated cooking time by approximately one third.
To brown and crisp meat remove cover for the last 30 minutes
of the cocking period.

Ovenware
Never use stainless steel ovenware in the oven, since it reflects
the heat. Meat, poultry, and fish should be cooked in ovenproof
dishes or in the meat pan for largé quantities.
Choose a dish which is just a little larger than the joint itself. This
will contain any fat in a smaller area and reduce splashing. If you
wish io roast potatoes in the same dish around the joint rather
than in a separate one you need to make allowances for this
when selecting a suitable dish,
Never place cooking containers on the base of the oven, but on
the wire shelf which you should insert on the 4th or 5th level irom
the top depending on the size of the food to be cooked.
When using the Rotitherm roasting/griling method (where tea
tured) place the joint on the. wire shelf 3rd and 4th from the top
(depending on size of roast} and slot the drip-pan into the 5th or
Gih from the top to catch the juices. If you want to roast potatoes
in the dripping, allow approximately 1-14 hours cooking time.
Turn the roast over halfway through cooking to ensure an all
round crisp and brown joint.
~ Secondary oven
The secondary oven is useful for cooking small quantities of
food, e. g., one small cake or a small roast (max. 2 kg). Do not
overload the secondary oven as too much food may result in ex-
cessive amounts of steam developing.
When using the secondary oven place the cocking container on a
wire shelf having removed all other oven equipment first.

Prime cuts of meat such as steaks and. chops or fish weighing
less than 1 kg can either be fried or grilled. Salt large pieces short
lv before grilling and small ones just after grilling.
Turn meatfish after half the grilling time so that both sides are uni-
formly browned. Turn thin pieces once: thicker pieces need turn-
ing more often,
On appliances with a dual circuit grill [FF], you should set the grill to
grill symbol [+] for small amounts and to symbol [+=] for larger
amounís.
Select the highest setting on the variable temperature selector to
seal the food and then turn down to a lower temperature. Position
the wire shelf with the projection facing upwards or downwards in
a shelf position of your choice depending on the thickness of the
food you wish to grilí,
Place the grill pan on the wire shelf and remove the grill pan han-
dle.
Where the appliance features a vapour vent, this must be open
during grilling.
Main oven: the oven door is closed during grilling
(if oven features a grill element)
Secondary oven: the oven door is left OPEN during
grilling.
There is no need to pre-heat the grill unless you prefer to do
so.
Grill van and wire shelf can be cleaned more easily if soaked in
the sink with water and washing-up liquid after griling.

M The hot air oven is extremely versatile since you can cook &
complete meal in it. You can cook different foods at the same
time, such as fish and cakes, without any transfer of smeil or
taste from one to the other.
When menu cooking try to choose foods which require simifar
cooking temperatures.
When cocking meat in uncovered containers the fat filter
must be inserted.
When cooking pies. or cakes at the same time as a roast you
can choose pies or cakes which normally cock at tempera-
tures 20 °C lower than the roast. Temperature differences of
10 °C lower than the roast can be compensated by longer or
shorter cooking times,
Shelf positions are chosen according to the food being
cooked and in connection with the cooking guidelines in the
recipe book supplied.

care and cleaning to maintain them in good condition, Let the hob
cool down before cleaning.
1. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring powders of scouring
pads,
2. Clean the hob after every use while the sollage is still minimal.
Use a soft damp cloth and a litle washing up liquid. Rub the
hob dry using a soft clean cloth. Make sure that no residual
cleaning material is left on the hob.
3. Once a week clean the hob thoroughty with “Stanl-ix” or "WK-
Top” (available from AEG Spare Parts Department) using a
soft clean cloth, Clean the hob with clean water and polish dry
with a clean soft cloth, Make sure that no cleaning material is
left on the hob. to prevent damage tc the hob,
Boiled over food
Soften such soilage with a damp cloth then remove deposits -
carefully using a glass scraper in a patent holder. Then clean the
hob as described under 3.
Sugar and foodstuffs containing sugar - Plastic materials
Do not allow any of the above to come in contact with the hob. If .
they do, remove from the hob immediately while still hot using a
- glass scraper in a patent holder, Then clean hob after it has
cooled down as described under 3. Melted sugar or plastic may
damage the hob permanently, Damage by the above may be re-
duced by regular treatment with “Collo-profi" or “Cera-fix’
(cieaner/conditionen available from AEG Spare Parts Depart
ment.
Stains
Mineral deposits present in hard water and food may cause dis-
coloration in the form of grey, blue or mother of pearl stains which
appear to be in the surface, Clean such discolorations while the
. cooking area is still warm (not hot) as described under 3.
Make sure that the cooking areas and the pan bases are clean
before use, Grit for instance from vegetable peelings will scratch
and damage the hob surface.
Recommended Cleaners
. “Stanl-fix” for normal or heavy sollage, "Cera-fix" or “Collo-profi” for

These instructions refer to a large range of AEG double
and single ovens.
E All secondary ovens have a catalytic roof panel as stan-
dard.
come models have a complete catalytic set provided as stan-
dard. For those-models which do not have it as standard it is
avallable as an optional extra.
E The main oven has catalytic roof (except Vitratherm ceramic
roof models), sides and back panels, either as standard or
they are available as optional exiras form your AEG retailer de-
pending on the model you selected to buy (except ovens
which include microwave). if your main oven has a pyrolytic
self-cicaning system, then also consult the relevant pages for
cleaning the oven.
Before cleaning the ovens
Allow the ovens to cool down if they have been used before
cleaning. Switch off the ovens before cleaning.
Cleaning
- Ovens which are cleaned after every use need very little attention.
if left and used again fat splashes will bake on and are then diffi-
cult to remove.
Clean glass surfaces, trims and controls with a soft cloth and
lukewarm water. Polish dry with a seft cloth.
The ceramic glass oven roof (Vitratherm — where featured) can be
cleaned with an oven spray or with “Ovenpad” or "Kleenoff”,
- Vitreous enamel interior surfaces can be cleaned with:
- a damp cloth and mild detergent

If your oven has a catalytic roof, sides and back panel either as
- standard equipment or if you have bought these parts separately
and fitted them, then the following information will be of interest to
; you.
The liners help to keep the oven cleaner as they cleanthemselves
to a great extent during roasting and baking at temperatures
above 200 °C. As cleaning may be improved by exposure to a
higher temperature it may be necessary to run the oven at 250 °C
for 1 or 2 hours per week, Before carrying out such a heal cycle,
remove all oven equipment and make sure that you have cleaned
the unlined surfaces to prevent any soll rom baking on. Forisciat-
ed stubborn stains use a soft bush and very hot soapy water.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring: powders,
