Important safety instructions
To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden
boiling:
To avoid misuse by children
Warning: Only allow children to use the oven
without supervision when adequate instructions
have been given so that the child is able to use the
oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of
improper use.
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be
heated in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids
before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a
build up of pressure even after the oven has been
turned off.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play
with the oven or use it as a toy.
Children should be taught all important safety
instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of food
coverings; paying special attention to packaging (e.g.
self-heating materials) designed to make food crisp, as
they may be extra hot.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handling the container.
Other warnings
Never modify the oven in any way.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil
into the liquid whilst reheating.
This oven is for home food preparation only and may
only be used for cooking food. It is not suitable for
commercial or laboratory use.
To promote trouble-free use of your oven and avoid
damage.
Never operate the oven when it is empty.
When using a browning dish or self-heating material,
always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a
porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the
turntable and turntable support due to heat stress. The
preheating time specified in the dishes instructions
must not be exceeded.
Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and
may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the oven.
Only use the turntable and the turntable support
designed for this oven. Do not operate the oven
without the turntable.
3. Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking
time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard
boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after
microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat
eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed,
pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may
explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before
reheating them in the microwave oven.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and
fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food
from the oven to prevent burns.
To prevent the turntable from breaking:
(a) Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the
turntable to cool.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking
bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid
steam burns.
(b) Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on a cold
turntable.
(c) Do not put cold foods or cold utensils on a hot
turntable.
Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during
operation.
NOTE:
To avoid burns, always test food temperature and
stir before serving and pay special attention to the
temperature of food and drink given to babies,
children or the elderly.
If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please
consult an authorised, qualified electrician.
Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept
any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury
resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical
connection procedure.
Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on the
oven walls or around the door seals and sealing
surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an
indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication of
the temperature of the food or drink; always check the
food temperature.
Always stand back from the oven door when opening it
to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam
and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the door to prevent them
burning themselves.

What are microwaves?
What are microwaves?
Like radio and television waves, microwaves are
electromagnetic waves.
The characteristics of microwaves.
Microwaves penetrate all non-metal objects made of
glass, china, earthenware, plastic, wood or paper. This is
why the microwaves never make these materials hot.
Dishes become hot only because the food inside them
is hot.
Microwaves are produced by a magnetron inside the
microwave oven, and these vibrate the molecules of
water present in the food. The friction this causes
produces heat, which ensures that the food is
defrosted, heated, or cooked through.
The secret of the reduced cooking times is the fact that
the microwaves penetrate the food from every
direction. Energy is used to the full. In comparison, the
energy from a conventional hob passes from the
burner through the pan and so to the food. This
method wastes a great deal of energy.
The food absorbs the microwaves and is heated.
Microwaves cannot pass through objects made of metal
and so they are deflected. For this reason metal objects
are not normally suitable for microwave cookery. There
are exceptions where you can actually make use of the
fact that the microwaves cannot pass through metal. If
you cover food with aluminium foil at specific points
while it is defrosting or cooking, you can prevent those
parts from getting too warm, too hot, or overcooked.
Please check out the advice given in the guide.
Suitable ovenware
Glass and ceramic glass
Kitchen paper
Heat-resistant glass utensils are very suitable. The
cooking process can be observed
from all sides. They must not,
however, contain any metal (e.g.
lead crystal), nor have a metallic
overlay (e.g. gold edge, cobalt blue
finish).
can be used to absorb any moisture which occurs in
short heating methods, e.g. of bread or products in
bread crumbs. Insert the paper between the food and
the revolving plate. The surface of the food will stay
crispy and dry. Covering greasy food with kitchen
paper will catch splashes.
Microwave cling film
Ceramics
This, or heat-resistant film, is very
suitable for covering or wrapping.
Please follow the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Generally very suitable. Ceramics must be glazed, since
with unglazed ceramics moisture can get into the
ceramic. Moisture causes the material to heat up and
may make it shatter. If you are not certain whether
your utensil is suitable for the microwave, carry out the
utensil suitability test.
Roasting bags
Can be used in a microwave oven. Metal clips are not
suitable for fastening them since the roasting bag foil
might melt. Fasten the roasting bag with string and
pierce it several times with a fork. Non heat-resistant
food wraps are not recommended for use in a
microwave oven.
Porcelain
Very suitable. Ensure that the porcelain does not have a
gold or silver overlay and that it does not contain any
metal.
Plastic & paper utensils
Browning dish
Heat resistant plastic utensils which
are suitable for use in the
microwave can be used to thaw,
A special microwave dish made from ceramic glass with
a metal alloy base, which allows food to be browned.
When using the browning dish a suitable insulator, e.g.
a porcelain plate, must be placed between the turntable
and the browning dish. Be careful to adhere exactly to
the pre-heating time given in the manufacturer's
instructions. Excessive pre-heating can damage the
turntable and the turntable stand or can trigger the
safety-device which will switch off the oven.
heat and cook food. Follow the
manufacturers recommendations.
Heat-resistant paper made for use in a microwave oven
is also suitable. Follow the manufacturers
recommendations.

Suitable ovenware
When using aluminium containers or other metal
utensils there must be a gap of approx. 2 cms between
them and the walls of the cooking area, otherwise the
walls could be damaged by possible arcing.
No utensil should have a metal overlay metal parts
such as screws, bands or handles.
Metal
Generally speaking, metal should not be used, since
microwaves do not pass through metal and therefore
cannot reach the food. There are,
however, exceptions: small strips of
aluminium foil may be used to
cover certain parts of the food, so
that these do not thaw too quickly
or begin to cook (e.g. chicken
wings). Small metal skewers and
aluminium containers (e.g. of

relation to the food, e.g. aluminium
containers must be at least 2/3 to 3/4 filled with food.
It is recommended that you transfer the food into a
dish suitable for use in the microwave.
Tips & advice
Do not cook eggs in their unbroken
shells. Pressure builds up inside the
shell and this may result in the egg
exploding. Prick the yolk before you
cook it.
Before you start...
To make it as easy as possible to use the microwave
oven, we have put together a few hints and tips for you.
Only switch on the oven when the food is already inside.
Setting the cooking time
Defrosting, re-heating and cooking times are generally
much shorter than in a conventional oven or hob. So
you will need to consult this book for the
recommended cooking times. It is better to set shorter
rather than longer cooking times. Always test the food
after the cooking time has elapsed. It is better to then
continue cooking it for a little longer, than to have
overcooked food.
Do not heat oil or fat for deep-
frying inside the microwave oven. It
is impossible to control the
temperature of the oil and it may
suddenly splash out of the pan.
Do not heat sealed containers such
as jars or tins. The pressure inside the container could
cause the container to explode. (The exception is when
you are making preserves).
All indicated cooking times...
are guidelines only. Cooking times may vary depending
on starting temperature, the weight and composition
(water, fat content, etc) of the food.
Starting temperature
Defrosting, re-heating and cooking times depend on
the temperature of the food when you start. For
example, deep-frozen and refrigerated food will need
longer than food that is at room temperature.
Standard storage temperatures of food are assumed for
re-heating and cooking times (refrigerator temperature
of 5° C, room temperature of approximately 20° C). For
defrosting food a starting temperature of
approximately -18° C is assumed.
Salt, herbs and spices
Food cooked in the microwave oven retains its taste
better than with conventional cooking methods. Use
salt sparingly and as a rule only add salt after the food
has cooked. Salt binds liquids and dries out the surface
of food. Herbs and spices can be used as normal.
Cook popcorn only in special microwave safe
containers. Refer exactly to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Do not use a normal paper or glass
container.

Tips & advice
Testing the food
Adding water
You can test whether food is cooked in the same way
as conventional cookery.
Vegetables and other foods containing a lot of water
can be cooked in their own juices or by adding just a
small amount of water. This will retain many vitamins
and minerals in the food.
• Using a food thermometer. After cooking or re-
heating all foods have a certain internal
Food with skin or peel
temperature. You can use a food thermometer to
test whether the food is hot enough, or ‘done’.
Pierce foods such as sausages, chickens, chicken legs,
potatoes in their skins, tomatoes, egg yolk, etc with a
wooden skewer. This allows the steam to escape and
the food won’t explode.
• Using a fork. Test fish with a fork. If the flesh is not
transparent and comes off the bone easily, it is
done. If it is overcooked, it will be brittle and dry.
Fatty foods
• Wooden skewer. Test cakes and bread by sticking in
a wooden skewer. If the skewer comes out clean and
dry, the food is ready.
Food ‘marbled’ with fat or with layers of fat cook
faster than lean meat. You should therefore cover
these parts with some aluminium foil, and place the
food fatty side downward.
Working out cooking times using the
food thermometer
After it has cooked, every drink or item of food has a
certain internal temperature. When it is reached the
cooking can be stopped, and the result will be good.
You can test the internal temperature with a food
thermometer. The temperature chart below gives most
of the important temperatures.
Blanching vegetables
Before they are frozen vegetables should be blanched.
This is the best way of retaining the quality and
flavour.
How to blanch vegetables:
Wash and chop the vegetable, place 250g of the
vegetable in a bowl with 275ml of water, cover and
heat for 3-5 minutes.
Plunge into cold water immediately after the
blanching process to prevent further cooking, and then
allow it to drain. Pack and freeze the vegetable in
airtight containers.

Standing time
you would cover it in a conventional oven, cover it in
the microwave. If you would cook it in a conventional
oven without a cover, you can cook it without a cover
in the microwave.
One of the most important rules of microwave cooking
is standing time. Almost all foods that are defrosted,
heated or cooked in a microwave oven require standing
time. This may be fairly short or quite long. During this
time the temperature is balanced and the liquids inside
the food are evenly distributed.
Irregular shaped food
Place the thicker, more compacted
end of the food pointing towards
the outside. Place vegetables (such
as broccoli) with the stalks pointing
outward.
Browning agents
After more than 15 minutes cooking time food
acquires a brownness, although this is not comparable
to the deep brownness and crispness obtained through
conventional cooking. In order to obtain an appetising
brown colour you can use browning agents. For the
most part they simultaneously act as seasoning agents.
In the following table you will find some suggestions
for substances you can use as browning agents and
some of the uses to which you might put them.

Heating
• Ready-prepared meals in aluminium containers
should be removed from the aluminium container
and heated on a plate or in a dish.
• After heating allow the food to stand for 1-2
minutes, so that the temperature inside the food
can be evenly distributed (standing time).
• The times given are guidelines which can be varied
according to the initial temperature, weight, water
content, fat content or the result which you want to
achieve.
• Remove the lids from firmly closed containers.
• Food should be covered with microwave cling film, a
plate or cover (obtainable from stores), so that the
surface does not dry out. Drinks need not be covered.
• When boiling liquids such as water, coffee, tea or
milk, place a glass stirrer in the container.
• If possible, stir large quantities from time to time, to
ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed.
• The times are for food at a room temperature of 20° C.
The heating time for food stored in a refrigerator
should be increased slightly.
Defrosting
Your microwave is ideal for defrosting. Thawing times
are usually considerably shorter than in traditional
methods. Here are a few tips. Take the frozen item out
of its packaging and place on a plate for defrosting.
Turning/stirring
Almost all foods have to be turned
or stirred from time to time. As early
as possible, separate parts which are
stuck together and re-arrange them.
Boxes & containers
Boxes and containers suitable for microwaves are
particularly good for defrosting and heating food, since
they can withstand temperatures in a deep freeze
(down to approx. -40° C) as well as being heat resistant
(up to approx. 220° C). You can therefore use the same
container to freeze, defrost, heat and even cook the
food, without having to transfer it.
Small amounts
Thaw more quickly and evenly than large ones. We
recommend that you defrost portions which are as
small as possible. By doing so you will be able to
prepare whole menus quickly and easily.
Foods requiring careful handling
Foods such as gateaux, cream, cheese and bread should
only be partially defrosted and then left to defrost
completely at room temperature. By doing so you will
avoid the outer areas becoming too hot whilst the
inside is still frozen.
Covering
Cover thin parts with small strips of aluminium foil
before defrosting. Thawed or warm
parts should likewise be covered
with aluminium strips during
Standing time
defrosting. This stops the thin parts
becoming too hot while thicker
parts are still frozen.
This is particularly important after defrosting food, as
the defrosting process continues during this period. In
the defrosting table you will find the standing times for
various foods. Thick, dense foods require a longer
standing time than thinner foods or foods of a porous
nature. If the food has not defrosted sufficiently, you
may continue defrosting it in the microwave or
lengthen the standing time accordingly. At the end of
the standing time you should process the food as soon
as possible and not re-freeze it.
Correct setting
It is better to choose a setting which is too low rather
than one which is too high. By doing so you will ensure
that the food defrosts evenly. If the microwave setting
is too high, the surface of the food will already have
begun to cook while the inside is still frozen.

Cooking fresh vegetables
• When buying vegetables, try to ensure that, as far as
possible, they are of similar size. This is particularly
important when you want to cook the vegetables
whole (e.g. boiled potatoes).
• Vegetables are usually cooked in a dish with a lid.
Those with a high moisture content, e.g. onions or
boiled potatoes, can be cooked in microwave cling
film without adding water.
• Wash the vegetables before preparing them, clean
them and only then weigh the required quantity for
the recipe and chop them up.
• Season them as you would normally, but as a rule
only add salt after cooking.
• After half the cooking time has elapsed vegetables
should be stirred or turned over.
• After cooking allow the vegetables to stand for
approx. 2 minutes, so that the temperature disperses
evenly (standing time).
• Add about 5 tbsps of water for 500 g of vegetables.
Vegetables which are high in fibre require a little
more water. You will find information in the table
(see page 27).
• The cooking times given are guidelines and depend
upon the weight, initial temperature and condition
of the type of vegetables in question. The fresher
the vegetables, the shorter the cooking time.
Cooking meat, fish & poultry
• When buying food items, try to ensure that, as far
as possible, they are of similar size. This will ensure
that they are cooked properly.
• After the food has been cooking for 15 minutes it
acquires a natural brownness, which may be
enhanced by the use of a browning agent. If, in
addition, you would like the surface to be crisp you
should either use the browning dish or sear the food
on your cooker and finish cooking it in your
microwave. By doing this you will simultaneously
obtain a brown base for making a sauce.
• Before preparation wash meat, fish and poultry
thoroughly under cold running water and pat them
dry with kitchen paper. Then continue as normal.
• Beef should be well hung and have little gristle.
• Even though the pieces may be of a similar size,
cooking results may vary. This is due, amongst other
things, to the kind of food, variations in the fat and
moisture content as well as the temperature before
cooking.
• Turn large pieces of meat, fish or poultry half way
through the cooking time, so that they are cooked
evenly from all sides.
• After cooking, cover roasts with aluminium foil and
allow them to stand for approx. 10 minutes (standing
time). During this period the roast carries on cooking
and the liquid is evenly distributed, so that when it is
carved a minimum amount of juice is lost.
Cooking & defrosting
Deep-frozen dishes can be defrosted and cooked at the
same time in one process in your microwave. You will
find some examples in the table. Do take note,
however, of the general advice given on “heating” and
“defrosting” food.
Please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging when preparing deep-frozen dishes. These
usually contain precise cooking times and offer advice
on preparation.

Microwave power levels
Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level
for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe
section. Generally the following recommendations
apply:
450 W for dense foods which require a long cooking
time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is
advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat
will be tender.
900 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup,
casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish,
etc.
270 W (Defrost setting) to defrost, select this power
setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This
setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings
and cooking egg custard.
630 W used for longer cooking of dense foods such as
roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for
90 W For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or
sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes.
At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and
food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.

ADAPTING RECIPES FOR THE
MICROWAVE OVEN
HOW TO USE THE RECIPES
If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for
the microwave, you should take note of the following:
Shorten cooking times by a third to a half. Follow the
example of the recipes in this book.
Foods which have a high moisture content such as
meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and soups
can be prepared in your microwave without any
difficulty. Foods which have little moisture, such as
platters of food, should have the surface moistened
prior to heating or cooking.
• All the recipes in this book are calculated on the
basis of 4 servings - unless otherwise stated.
• Recommendations relating to suitable utensils and
the total cooking times are given at the beginning
of every recipe.
• As a rule the quantities shown are assumed to be
wholly consumable, unless specifically indicated
otherwise.
• When eggs are given in the recipes they are
assumed to have a weight of approx. 55 g (grade M).
The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods, which
are to be braised, should be reduced to about two
thirds of the quantity in the original recipe. If
necessary, add more liquid during cooking.
The amount of fat to be added can be reduced
considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine or
oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason your
microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat foods as
part of a diet.

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 styrofoam) can place children at risk.
Danger of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.
All packaging materials used are environment friendly and can be recycled. 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 packaging (CFC-free)
«PP» polypropylene eg packaging straps
By using and re-using the packaging, raw materials are saved and waste volume is reduced.
Packaging should be taken to your nearest recycling centre.
Contact your local council for information.
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. Check with your local Council or
Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for recycling the appliance.

Installation
CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE TO THE POWER SUPPLY
• The electrical outlet should be readily accessible so that the unit can
be unplugged easily in an emergency.
(A)
• The socket should not be positioned behind the cupboard.
• The best position is above the cupboard, see (A).
When not connecting the power supply cord to position (A) it should be
removed from the support clip (see diagram, item 13, on page 4) and
routed under the oven.
• Connect the appliance to a single phase 230-240V/50Hz alternating
current via a correctly installed earth socket.
The socket must be fused with a ≥10A fuse.
• If the appliance is to be operated in a non-European country, the
supply voltage, current type and frequency of the appliance indicated
on the rating plate must correspond with the specification of your
power supply. The rating plate can be found on the inside face of the control panel.
• The power supply cord may only be replaced by an electrician.
• Before installing, tie a piece of string to the power supply cord to facilitate connection to point (A) when the
appliance is being installed.
• When inserting the appliance into the high-sided cupboard, DO NOT crush the power supply cord.
