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.

Safety instructions  
!
General  
The appliance should only be operated with the turntable and turn-  
table support inserted.  
Only suitable microwave ovenware should be used.  
To protect the appliance against corrosion from moisture (conden-  
sation) 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.  
• 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 no longer 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. Repairs carried out by  
unqualified personnel can place the user in severe danger. In the case  
of any defect or breakdown, please therefore contact your local elec-  
trical dealer or the AEG Service Force Centre  
• Should the door seals and/or door seal surfaces be damaged, the  
appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by the AEG  
Service Force Centre.

Safety instructions  
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 pre-  
sent can escape and the food will not burst.  
Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70°C is attained for the  
cooking/heating of food. Never use a mercury or liquid thermometer  
for measuring 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 set-  
ting. 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 spontaneous combustion!  
to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc.  
to dry animals, textiles or paper.

i
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 = 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 heat itself up. Because of this, not all  
areas of the food will be heated at the same time. When heating larger quanti-  
ties 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.

Installing and Connecting  
The oven should be set on a work surface at least 85 cm above floor  
level. To ensure the stability of the microwave oven, the front left foot  
is adjustable (5 positions). Turn it to raise or lower the appliance.  
Make sure that nothing obstructs the ventilation louvres and that air  
may circulate freely around the oven.

tion and connection given in the operation instructions of the lift door.  
Attention!  
!
Never operate the microwave oven with the lift door closed. Such operation would  
damage your appliance and invalidate the guarantee.  
Connect to a plug socket with protective earth contact and fused with a 10 A-L  
automatic device or 10 A slow-blowing fuse. When the oven is installed, there must  
be a possibility of disconnecting it from mains with a contact break of at least 3  
mm on all poles.  
A suitable size of LS-switch, or a melting or fly-out fuse, are suitable contact-brea-  
kers.

Practical tips for use  
General  
After switching off your appliance, let food stand inside for a few  
minutes to allow even heat distribution (standing time).  
Remove any aluminium foil or metal containing packaging before prepa-  
ring the food.  
Metal objects must be placed at least 2 cm away from the cooking  
space walls and door. Otherwise arcing can occur, resulting in damage  
to the appliance.  
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 soft 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 porce-  
lain container, so that the meat juice can drain.  
– Halfway through defrosting, turn the food, dividing it where possible  
and removing the pieces that have defrosted.  
24  
 
English  
i
Defrosting of butter, pieces of layer cake and cottage cheese  
Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but leave to adjust out-side. 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 appliance, but left to complete defrosting at room tem-  
perature outside the microwave oven  
Fruit and vegetables that are to be cooked immediately afterwards can be  
cooked straight from frozen using a higher power level.  
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 prick the plastic foil).  
i
Tips on microwaving  
You cant find cooking details for  
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  
The food is too dry.  
Set a shorter cooking time or redu-  
ce the microwave power output.  
Select a longer programme time or  
a higher microwave power setting.  
Note that larger food will require a  
longer time.  
The food is not yet defrosted, hea-  
ted through or cooked on comple-  
tion of programme time.  
Next time, try a lower power set-  
ting for a longer time. Stir liquids,  
The food is overcooked on the out-  
side and undercooked in the middle such as soup, periodically.  
on completion of cooking time.

Cleaning and care  
The Appliance Exterior  
Wipe the front of the appliance using a soft cloth and a mild, warm deter-  
gent 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. 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 temperatu-  
re 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.  
This should be removed straight after each use and cleaned using washing-up  
liquid or in the dishwasher.
