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  
The oven should be set at least 85 cm above floor level. Leave sufficient  
space around the oven : 5 cm between the sides of the oven and any walls  
or objects, 14 cm above the oven and 10 cm behind the oven. Make sure  
that nothing obstructs the ventilation louvres at the back of the appliance  
and that the electrical plug will be accessible after installation. Please refer  
to the installation manual included with your oven for further instructions.

Safety instructions  
!
General  
• The appliance should only be operated with the turntable and turntable  
support inserted.  
• Only suitable microwave ovenware should be used.  
To protect the appliance against corrosion from moisture (condensation) in  
the cavity or on the door, wipe these areas dry after each use.  
Do not leave the appliance unattended when warming or cooking food in  
disposable containers made of plastic, paper, or other flammable materials due  
to fire hazard.  
• If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed, disconnect the power supply  
and contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. Never use the microwave  
oven if it is not functioning properly.  
• This appliance complies with all relevant safety instructions. In order to  
maintain the safety of the appliance, repairs should only be carried out by  
an AEG Service Force Centre.  
WARNING: it is dangerous for anyone other than qualified personnel to make  
any repairs requiring removal of the cover providing protection from exposure  
to microwave energy. In the case of any defect or breakdown, please therefore  
contact your local AEG approved retailer or the AEG Service Force Centre  
• Should the door seals and/or door seal surfaces, cord or plug be damaged,  
the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by the AEG  
Service Force Centre.  
• Damaged appliance parts can only be replaced by exactly the same make of  
parts. Special tools are required for this operation.  
WARNING: This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Do not allow  
children to use the microwave oven without supervision unless they have been  
thoroughly instructed in the proper use and the dangers of improper  
operation.  
• In order to evacuate moisture, your appliance is fitted with a delayed  
ventilation function. Depending on the applied cooking mode (solo / grill /  
combination), the oven ventilation will continue to operate after the cooking  
end. It switches off automatically after 3 minutes.  
!
For trouble free and safe operation  
• Never jam anything between the door and the 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 the food has been placed inside the  
cooking space, as it could overload if there is no food present.

Microwaves  
Whenever heating liquid, please also place a teaspoon in the container to  
avoid delayed boiling.  
!
During delayed boiling, the boiling temperature is attained without the  
typical steam bubbles rising. When the container is shaken, even gently, the  
liquid may then suddenly vigorously boil over or spurt - with the risk of  
scalding the user.  
Food with «skin» or «peel», such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, and the  
like, should be pierced with a fork so that any steam present can escape  
and the food will not burst.  
Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70°C is attained for the cooking  
or heating of food. Never use a mercury or liquid thermometer for measu-  
ring the temperature of the food.  
Baby food in jars or bottles should always be heated without a lid or top,  
and well stirred or shaken after heating, to ensure uniform distribution of  
the heat. Always check the temperature before feeding your child.  
The hot food in a microwave oven will heat up the ovenware. For this  
reason always use oven gloves for handling hot dishes.  
Never cook your food for too long or at too high a power setting. Some  
areas of the food can dry out or even ignite.  
Do not use porcelain or ceramic crockery, or porous earthenware (e.g. on  
the handles or unglazed bases) in your microwave as these types of dishes  
can absorb moisture from the food as it is cooking. This can cause vapour  
pressure to build up which could shatter the dish.  
!
Do not use your microwave oven for the following :  
to boil eggs or escargots in their shells, as they will burst. Eggs can be  
poached 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 danger of sponta-  
neous combustion!  
to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc.  
to dry animals, textiles or paper.

Grill / convection functions  
• The viewing window heats up during grilling and convection cooking (and  
in combination with microwave cooking), so keep small children away from  
the appliance.  
!
• The cooking area, the grill heating elements, the rack, and the turntable  
become very hot during all modes. Make sure to use an oven mitt to handle  
dishes, and remember to use only ovenproof cookware such as ceramic  
dishes or heat resistant glass.  
Take care not to be burned!  
• Preheat your oven only when grilling or using the convection functions,  
never when microwaving nor in the combined modes of microwave + grill  
or microwave + convection cooking.  
The grill folds down for easy cleaning :  
1 Horizontal position: for cooking au gratin, food laid flat,  
e.g. sausages  
Grill  
Positions  
1
2 Vertical position : exclusively for cleaning the oven.  
Always allow the grill to cool off for 25 minutes before

What else to note...  
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 quantity/weight = nearly * double the time  
*Please refer to the cooking charts. To be on the safe side, always select the  
shorter cooking time. Then extend the time as necessary.  
Microwaves work by making the food itself heat 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 particularly important to stir or turn them over.  
Standing time” is referred to in the cooking charts. 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.

Modes of operation  
The appliance features the following functions:  
Microwave  
In this mode, microwaves generate heat directly in the food. This  
mode is highly suitable for warming, for example, ready cooked  
food and drinks, the defrosting of meat or vegetables, and for  
cooking food like fish and vegetables.  
Grilling  
Heat is generated by a grilling element set in the roof of the oven.  
This is particularly suitable for toasting and grilling e.g. steaks and  
sausages.  
Convection cooking  
A fan in the back wall of the oven circulates the air around a cir-  
cular heating element allowing you to cook as with a traditional  
oven.  
Combination modes  
The microwave mode can be used together with the grill or  
convection function. Dishes will be cooked more quickly, whilst  
being crisp and brown at the same time.

Cooking Charts and Tips  
Practical tips for use  
General  
After switching off your appliance, let food stand for a few minutes to  
allow even heat distribution (standing time).  
Remove any aluminium foil or packaging containing metal and/or acces-  
sories before preparing food (unless specifically stated).  
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.  
Check food frequently when grilling.  
Cooking  
Whenever possible cook food covered. Only pastry dishes with crust should  
be cooked uncovered.  
Refrigerated or frozen food require longer cooking times.  
Foods containing sauces should be stirred from time to time.  
Cook hard vegetables such as carrots, peas and cauliflower with a little water.  
Cook soft vegetables such as mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes without  
liquid.  
Increase cooking time by approximately 50% for larger pieces. Whenever  
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 allow to complete defrosting  
outside the appliance. This will give a more even result.  
Defrosting of fruit and vegetables  
Fruit and vegetables that are to be used raw later should not be fully  
defrosted in the appliance, but left to complete defrosting at room  
temperature outside the microwave oven.  
Fruit and vegetables that are to be cooked immediately afterwards can be  
cooked directly on a higher power level without defrosting.  
Ready made meals  
Ready made 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 pierce the plastic film).

Tips on microwaving  
1. You can’t find cooking details  
for a specific quantity of food.  
Base programming on a similar type  
of food. Lengthen or shorten the  
cooking time accordingly:  
Double quantity = almost double time  
Half quantity = half time  
2. The food is too dry.  
Set a shorter cooking time or reduce  
the microwave power output.  
3. The food is not yet defrosted,  
heated through or cooked on  
completion of programme time.  
Select a longer programme time or a  
higher microwave power setting.  
Note that larger food will require a  
longer time.  
4. The food is overcooked on the  
outside and undercooked in  
the middle on completion of  
cooking time.  
Try a lower power setting for a  
longer time. Stir liquids, such as  
soup, periodically.

The gratin is too dark in colour.  
Next time choose a lower microwave  
setting.  
You cannot find any setting in the  
tables for the weight of your meal.  
Choose the setting for something  
which is closest in weight to the  
item you want to cook and lengthen  
or shorten the cooking time  
accordingly.

Notes on the baking table  
The range of baking temperatures and times given are for guidance only, as they  
are dependent 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 taking 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  
appliance at the end of a cook programme.  
Baking tips  
How can you be certain that  
the cake is baked through ?  
Insert a wooden skewer into the  
highest part of the cake. If it comes  
out clean, you can turn off the oven  
and leave the cake in the “residual  
heat.  
If the cake collapses (or is  
soggy, spongy or watery).  
Check the recipe. Use less liquid next  
time. Note mixing times, if by hand, or  
in particular if you have used a mixer.  
Choose a darker colour baking tin  
next time.  
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 the biscuits cannot be  
removed from the tray.  
Next time choose a lower temperature  
and lengthen the baking time.  
Put the baking tray back in the appli-  
ance for a short time and then remove  
the biscuits immediately. Use baking  
parchment next time.  
The cake does not come out  
of the tin when turned upside  
down.  
Carefully loosen the cake from the side  
of the tin 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 breadcrumbs on the  
bottom.

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 remain in good condition for a long time so long as you don't  
use scouring pads or rough abrasive materials. Use mild dishwashing liquid to  
clean the interior, with special attention to the door seal and adjoining area.  
The grill heating element is built into the appliance and cannot be removed.  
The element may be stained with spattered fat or oil while the oven is in use.  
Wait until the cavity cools down and wipe off the spattered oil before the  
oven is used again. Stained grills may cause unpleasant odours and smoke.  
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.  
Through normal operation, liquid may evaporate and condensation may  
occur. This is normal and is especially noticeable when the room temperature  
is high and the humidity of the air is low. After operation, be sure and wipe  
off the condensation with a soft cloth.  
Turntable and Turntable support  
The turntable can be removed for  
easy cleaning. Wells are provided on  
both sides for easy access.  
Clean the turntable using washing-up liquid, or put it in the dishwasher.  
Clean the turntable support with washing-up liquid. These should be removed  
and cleaned straight after each use.  
Care of accessories  
Place the wire rack and/or glass pie dish in soapy water immediately after use  
so they may be easily cleaned with a sponge.
