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).
• 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
6
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.

The main features of your appliance
• Safety cutoff, rings: The unit has a safety cutoff facility. The rings
are automatically switched off after a certain time if the position of
the switch is not changed within a longer period.
• Electronically controlled automatic heating up: The Automatic
function of the ring switch automatically switches from the high
heating up setting to the selected low lower heat setting.
• Heat Protective Glazing: The panes of glass are ventilated from
below so that the oven door does not become too hot.
• Oven steam outlet: The oven steam outlet via the rear of the cook-
ing field ensures safe operation and a high level of cleaning comfort.
If there is an extractor hood installed, the steam is directed into it.
This prevents the unit getting dirty and eliminates unpleasant odours.
