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
•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 inflammable substances in the oven. They could ignite when the oven is switched on.
•Cleaning the appliance with a steam or high pressure cleaner is forbidden for safety reasons.
•If force is used, above all 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 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 leaving the cooked food to cool in the oven with the door shut for approx. 10-15 minutes after switching off the oven.
•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.

Operating Instructions
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
•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.
•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.
