OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety Instructions
The new appliance may only be assembled and connected by an appro-
ved 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
• Take care when plugging in electrical appliances near the appliance.
Mains cables must not be allowed to fall on hot rings and must not
be trapped under the hot oven door.
• Do not store flammable substances in the oven. They could ignite
when the oven is switched on.
• Cleaning the appliance with a steam or high pressure cleaner is for-
bidden for safety reasons.
• If force is used, especially on the edges of the front pane of glass, the
glass may break.
• If fractures, cracks or splits appear in the cooking surface:
– switch off all cooking zones,
– switch off the fuse for the cooking surface,
– inform customer service immediately.
• 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 cooking surface 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 carefully. When doing so, avoid having any hot embers,
sparks or open flames in the immediate vicinity. We recommend lea-
ving the cooked food to cool in the oven with the door shut for
approx. 10-15 minutes after switching off the oven.
Operating Instructions
6
• 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 our Customer Service
or your specialist dealer.
• In the case of the appliance malfunctioning: remove the fuses or
switch off the circuit breaker.
Intended use
• This appliance must not be used for purposes other than that inten-
ded, 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 use the cooking surface for storage. In this way you will avoid
damaging the glass ceramic surface.
• If sugar or plastic comes into contact with the hot cooking surface
and melts, remove it immediately whilst still hot! If it cools, splits
may occur in the glass ceramic cooking surface.
• The glass ceramic cooking surface is insensitive to temperature shock
and very robust, however it is not unbreakable. Hard and sharp
objects, in particular, can damage the cooking surface if they fall on
it.
• Only use utensils with flat, smooth bases that are neither rough nor
burred. Otherwise permanent scratching may occur when the utensils
are slid.
• Do not place hot frying pans or saucepans on the cooking surface
frame and do not cover the cooking surface with protective foil.
• Do not place any pans or other items over the oven steam outlet in
the cooking surface frame.
• Do not place aluminium foil or plastic containers on the hot rings and
do not prepare food in aluminium foil or plastic containers on the hot
cooking surface.
• 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.
Operating Instructions
7
• 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
damaged.
• Do not sit on the open oven door/oven drawer.
• 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 categori-
sed as harmless

Usage, Tables and Tips
Pans
The better the pan, the better the results.
• You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be thick
and as flat as possible.
• Pans with aluminium or copper bases can leave metal discoloration
on the glass ceramic surface that is very difficult or impossible to
remove.
• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with dama-
ged bases that are rough or burred. Permanent
scratching may occur when the pans are slid.
• When cold, pan bases are normally bowed
slightly inwards (concave). They should under
no circumstances be bowed outwards (convex).
2
Energy Saving Tips
You will save valuable energy if you observe the
following tips:
• Always place pans on the cooking zone before switching on.
• Soiled cooking zones and pan bases increase the electricity consump-
tion.
• If possible, always fit pans with a lid.
• Switch off the cooking zones before the end of
cooking to make use of the residual heat, e.g. to
keep food warm or for melting.
• The pan base and cooking zone should be the
same size.
When purchasing pans pay attention to the dia-
meter of the base. Manufacturers often state the
diameter of the top of the pan.
• Cooking times are reduced by up to 50% when a
pressure cooker is used.
