OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1 Safety Instructions

The new appliance may only be assembled and connected by an

approved installer.

Please observe this instruction, otherwise the warranty will not cover

any damage that may occur.

The safety features of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted

technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, we

also consider it our obligation as a manufacturer to make you aware of

the following safety information.

General Safety

• When using other electrical appliances ensure the cable does not

come into contact with the hot surfaces of the oven.

• Do not store flammable substances in the oven. They could ignite

when the oven is switched on.

• For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam or high

pressure cleaner.

• If force is used, especially on the edges of the front pane of glass, the

glass may break.

• When cooking, roasting and grilling the oven door will become hot.

Therefore always keep small children away from the door.

• Overheated fat and oil can catch fire quickly. Please always stay close

to the appliance when preparing food in fat or oil (e.g. chips).

• If you use alcoholic ingredients in the oven, it is possible that an easily

ignitable alcohol-air mixture might be produced. In this case open the

door very carefully. When doing so, avoid having any hot embers,

sparks or open flames in the immediate vicinity.

• Repairs to the appliance may only be performed by qualified service

engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If

your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local AEG Service

Force Centre.

• In the case of the appliance malfunctioning: remove the fuses or

switch off the circuit breaker.

Operating Instructions

7

Intended Use

• This appliance must not be used for purposes other than that

intended, it must only be used for the cooking, roasting and baking

of food in the home.

• Only use the appliance to prepare food.

• Do not use the oven to heat the room.

In this way you avoid damaging your appliance

• Do not line your oven with aluminium foil and do not place a baking

sheet or dish on the oven floor, otherwise the oven enamel will be

damaged by the resulting build up of heat.

• Clean the appliance after each use. Spills are then easier to clean up

and do not become burnt onto the surface.

• Any drops of fruit juice that fall from the baking sheet will leave

spots that cannot be removed. Use the universal sheet for very moist

cakes.

• Never pour water directly into the hot oven. The enamel may be dam-

aged.

• Do not sit on the open oven door.

• Do not store moist food in the oven.

Eco-Insulation

In the factory the oven is fitted with eco-insulation. This insulation has

been tested for pollutants by independent test institutes and categor-

ised as harmless

2 Disposal

Disposing of the packaging materials

All materials used can be fully recycled.

The plastics are marked as follows:

• >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. as used for the outer wrapping and the

bags inside.

• >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. as used for the packing pieces, com-

pletely free of CFCs.

The cardboard is made from 80% recycled paper.

Disposal of old appliances

All old appliances must be correctly disposed of for environmental rea-

sons.

1

Warning! When disposing of an old appliance, make it unusable by

cutting off the cable. Remove any door catches to prevent small chil-

dren being trapped inside.

2

Information on disposal

• The appliance must not be disposed of in the household rubbish.

• You can obtain information about collection dates or public tips from

your local refuse department or council.

The main features of your appliance

• Mains Button: The entire appliance is switched on and off using the

mains button. This provides additional safety, if there are children in

the house, it is not possible to inadvertently switch on the appliance

via the individual switches. This feature also makes the appliance eas-

ier to use as all functions are switched off by pressing one button.

• Safety Cut-Out: The oven has a safety cut-out. If the oven is not

switched off or the temperature not changed, after a set period of

time, the oven switches itself off automatically.

• Child Safety Feature: In addition this appliance is fitted with a child

safety feature. As soon as the child safety feature is enabled, the oven

can no longer be inadvertently switched on.

• Electronic Oven Controller: The oven is controlled via an electronic

regulator, this enables the temperature to be set precisely. For addi-

tional ease of use the controller automatically suggests a tempera-

ture for each oven function you select.

• Heat Protective Glazing: The panes of glass are ventilated from

below so that the oven door does not become too hot.

• Time Display: A 24 hour clock displays the time even when the oven

is switched off. If required, you can switch off the display.
