Recycling packaging and old microwaves
Packaging
Our microwaves are efficiently packaged to guard against transit risks. To respect the
environment packaging has been reduced to its strictest necessity. Packaging parts
(e.g. sheets, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children. There is a risk of suffocation!
Keep children away from these parts of the packaging.
All the packaging materials used respect the environment and can be recycled.
The cardboard parts are made from recycled paper. The synthetic parts are
characterised as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene e.g. packaging sheets
>PS< for polystyrene e.g. stuffing parts (with CFCs)
>PP< for polypropylene e.g. taping.
Recycling makes it possible to save raw materials and reduces the volume of waste
to dispose of.
Take the packaging of your microwave to a recycling centre whose address will be
given to you by your district or municipal authority
Old microwaves
Before recycling your old microwave make it unusable. Remove the plug.
Then give it to your reseller when a new microwave is delivered or take it to a
recycling centre.

Assembly and connection
Do not use your microwave immediately (wait an hour or two) after transferring it
from a cold place to a hot place because condensation can cause it to malfunction.
This microwave is intended to be fitted at least 85 cm from the ground. Ensure there
is free circulation of air around the oven. Choose a location allowing a minimum free
space of 5 cm between the sides of the microwave and the walls, 14 cm above your
microwave and 10 cm for the rear wall. Make sure not to obstruct the air vents
underneath and at the back of the microwave and make sure that the electrical plug
is accessible after installation.
Caution: you must use an outlet with an earth terminal. The manufacturer is not
responsible for usage contrary to this advice.
This appliance conforms to the following European directives:
- Low tension directive: 73/23/EWG of 19.02.1973
- EMV directive: 89/336/EWG of 03.05.1989
(including the modification directive 92/31/EWG)

Generalities
Only operate the microwave after having put the turntable and the drive shaft
in position.
Only use dishes suited to microwaves.
Regularly monitor the oven when food is heated or cooked in disposable containers
made of plastic, paper or other combustible material.
If smoke is detected switch off or disconnect the oven and keep the door of the
microwave closed to smother any smoke. Contact your AEG after-sales service. Do
not use the microwave under any circumstances if it does not function correctly.
If the microwave's feeder cable is damaged, change it for an identical cable.
This appliance conforms to the safety standards in force. Repairs can only be
made by AEG after sales technicians.
WARNING: it is dangerous for anyone other than a trained technician to carry out
maintenance or repair operations which require the removal of a cover pro-
tecting from exposure to microwave energy.
In the event of malfunction: contact your stockist or your AEG after sales service.
If the area around the door and cavity or the flex or plug is damaged contact a
specialist technician before using your microwave.
WARNING: Do not allow children to use the oven without supervision until
adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to safely
operate the microwave and understands the hazards of improper use.
In order to evacuate the steam from waste water your microwave is provided with
a delayed ventilation function. Ventilation can continue to function after the end
of cooking.
How to avoid damage to the microwave
Do not wedge anything between the door and the door frame.
Always keep the seals of the door and their surfaces clean.
Do not keep flammable objects in the oven area. They can ignite when the oven
is on.
To avoid wearing down your microwave never operate it when it is empty or
without the turntable.
Never preheat your oven using the microwave function.

Safety instructions
Microwaves
Heating drinks by microwave can cause a sudden and delayed gushing of boiling
water. Also precautions should be taken when handling the container. You might
get burnt.
Food with a 'skin' or a 'peel' like potatoes, tomatoes, sausages etc should be
pierced with a fork to allow the steam that forms to evaporate and to prevent the
bursting of foodstuffs.
Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70° C is reached for cooking/
reheating food. Just follow the data in the cooking tables (time/temperature).
Never use mercury or liquid thermometers to measure the temperature of food.
Baby food in jars (glass) or bottles must always be reheated without a lid or top
and well stirred or shaken so that the heat is evenly distributed. Always check the
temperature before feeding your child so as to avoid scalding.
Remember that hot food in a microwave oven will heat up the oven ware. Use
oven gloves or hotpads to handle hot dishes.
Never cook your food for too long or at too high a power setting. Some parts of
the food can dry out or even ignite. To avoid this never use the same times
recommended for cooking in a conventional oven.
WARNING: liquids or other foods should not be heated in hermetic containers
because they can explode.
Do not use microwaves for the following:
Boiling eggs. They can burst open!
Heating cooking oil (fondue or deep frying) and drinks containing a high level of
alcohol. There is a danger of spontaneous combustion!
Drying animals, textiles or paper.
Crockery (porcelain, ceramics, pottery etc) with hollows that can fill with water
and create steam pressure when the microwave is operating.
MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER: 900 W

When using the grill (alone or in combination with the microwave), the glass of
the door becomes very hot. Keep children away from the appliance.
The cooking compartment, the grill element, the rack, the tray and the turntable
become very hot when the appliance is operating. When using the grill it is
imperative to protect your hands to remove plates and use containers that can
absorb high temperatures such as ovenware and ceramics. Do not touch elements
heating inside the oven. There is a risk of burning!
Preheat your oven only with grill or convection oven functions, never with the
microwave function alone or the microwave functions combined with the grill or
convection oven.
The grill can be folded to facilitate cleaning:
1. Horizontal for gratins, flat grilling.
2. Vertical solely to clean the vault

Tips
Foods are of different shapes and types. They are prepared in different
quantities. This is why the cooking times and power needed for defrosting,
reheating or cooking vary individually. Rule of thumb:
Double the amount = nearly double the time
Follow the cooking tables. Always programme the shortest time first of all. Then
if necessary programme a longer time.
When using microwaves heat forms in the food itself. As a result not all places
can be heated at the same time. For larger amounts especially, turn or mix the
food during the cooking cycle.
In the cooking tables a "standing time" is indicated. Let the food stand in the
appliance or outside it so that the heat can be distributed more uniformly in
the food.
