Safety insttiructions
For the : The safet/ requirements state that the following information be
insUtller given;
When installing cooking appliapces into: kitchen furniture the en closed installation instruc^ons rmist be strictly adhered'to.
For th« - When you use the appliance to prepare your food, the
user oven dooi^ and cooking plates become hot Therefore
keep small children well away from the appliance. This especi^ly applies when you are grilling or pyrolyticaily cleaning the oven (where applicable).
- -Overheated tat and cooking oil may ignite. Prepare foods re quiring fat or Oil (chips) only under constant supervision:
- Do not use the appliance to heat your room. .
- Take care when using small electrical appliances hear the cooker. Connection leads should not come in contact with hot hobs/cooking zones or get trapped in the hdt oven door.
- Do not line the oven base with aluminium foil or place any other cooking utensil on frie base, as this will trap heat resulting in damage to the enamel interior: This invalidates the warranty.
- The cooling fan,, where featured in ovens-and cookers, can continue to run although ail oven switches are turned off. it will switch itself off aulomatically. The cooling fan can also come on automatically although the oven is stótched off if the residu al heat in the oven is too high. The fan switches itself off auto­malicaily.
- The vitreous enamel in your oyen is very durable. However vit reous enamel is adversely affected by fruit adds (rhubarb, lemon, etc,),and tea which wiB discolour and duit the enamel. The performance of the oven is not affected. To prevent spill age of the abcwe coming in contact with the enamel, place the cooking, container on a baking sheet.
- Do not place the grill/meat paii on the coOkIng plate to make gravy. The direct heat will weaken the pan base result
ing in warping and twisting of the pan when next used as a méat or grill pan.
- The appliance complies vwth radio interference suppression specifications : EM 550T4 (previously EEC Directive 87/£K)8)
and as appropriate with EN 60555 refating to the Retroactive. Effect of the Mains Suppiy.

Pre-cleaning
the oven
The control knob (A) can be turned clockwise or anti’doekwise to any position:. However, the oven temperature control knob (B) must be turned clockwise to set and anti-dockwise to turn off.
Before using the oven for the first time, clean all accessories (shelf supports, wire shelves and pais) with warm water and washing-up liquid. Then switch the oven to the hot air cooking method and select the highest temperature and leave the oven on for.at least one hour with the oven door closed.
During this period there is an unavoidable odour which is not harmful to your hedth. We recommend that the room is well
ventilated for your conveniènce.
When the oven has cooled down, clean any parts not lined with catalytic self-cleaning panels with water and washing-up liquid:

Fat filter
The fat filter supplied protects the fan against soiling. It must al
ways be fn place when:
- Meat is cooked in uncovered containers using the hot
air mode [£ (do not insert when bakingi);
- During Rotitherm roasting/grilling (on multi-function ovens only) or traditional grilling. . .
How to insert the fat filter: Hold the fat filter by the handle and insert the two tabs (see illus trations) into the slots in the back panel of the oven thereby cover ing the fan opening.
The faf filter must cover the opening completely.­Cleaning the fat.filter:
To clean the oven all oven controls must be set to the off position. The fat filter should be cleaned after every use. To re
move the tat filter hold it by the handle and pull upwards.
How to clean the filter, see “Cleaning the fat filter" in this booklet. The fat filter must only-be clipped into the oven when it is tptally
dry.

Using the oven
Decide which cooking method you wantlo use and select the propriate symbol on the cooking method selector,,e. g., [Aj for Mot Air, Then select the required temperature with the tempera ture control. The red thermostat light is on for as long as the oven is pre-heatifig. The thermostat light cycles on and off during oper ation, indicating heating periods. When pre-heating the oven (see information in the relevant cook ing charts) position food in the oven after the red thermostat light has gone out for the first time. To utilise the residual heat in the oven switch thè oven off 5-10 minutes before the end o1 the cooking time by returning both the cooking method selector and the temperature control to the off positions.
Recommendations
When you use the hot air cooking system you can cook on several levels simultaneously. This saves time, is converiient and energy efficient. You can also cook different cakes at the same time for instance a Victoria Sandwich and a Bakewetl Tart or a Madeira Cake with a Dundee Cake. Simply make sure that the cooking tomperatures are roughly the same and thateutficient space is left between the shelves to allow the air to circulate freely. If baking cakes wito a high moisture content such as several apple pies, it may be advisable to use only 2 shelves at the same time to prevent too much steam forming in the
oven.
Switching on and off
With hot air
Baiking times and temperatures
When baking with hot air it is often unnecessary to pre-heat the oven. For exceptions see enclosed baking charts.
If you use the oven for batch baking, choose cakes which re quire similar temperatures. Different cooking times can be overcome by either placing cakes into the oven later or by re moving them earlier.
The baking chart is provided as aquick reference to keep near
the oven.
When baking on more than one level The time given in the cooking charts has to be extended by №20 minutes, ,

The times and temperatures given in the roasting chart provide a guide when cooking meat. Some adjustmènts may be nec essary depending :on the type of meat to be cooked; Cooking, times have been given-for; meat which is at room tempera ture. Prime cuts can be cooked at higher temperatures than those whioh require a ionger cooking time to tenderise the meat. A thick joint vvijl require ionger to cook through than a thinner one. A boned rolled joint wiit require a ionger cooking time than one with the bone left in as bone is a conductor of heat, A smal! joint wi(i require longer cooking time per 450 g (1 ib)
than a large one. Allow an extra 30-minutes cooking tirrie for
joints up to and .including 1.5 kg (3 ibjl If the joint is cooked in foil the temperature has ip be increased by 10 «C. To browrt the joint, remove foil for the last t;5 minutes or so of the cooking time. if cooking from frozen, piece joint in a covered container and extend the calculated cooking time by approxirhataiy ope third^ To brown and crisp meat remove cover for the last 30 minutes otthe cooking period:

Ovenware
Never use stainless steel ovenware In the oveOi since it reflects the heat. Meat, poultry, and fish should be cooked in ovenproof dishes or in the meat pan for large quantities.
Choose a dish which is just a little larger than the joint Itself, This will contain any fat in a sm^ipr area and reduce splashing. If you wish to roast potatoes in the same dish around the joint rathpr than in a separate one you need to make allowances for this when selecting a suitable dish.
Never place cooking containers on the base of the oven, but on the wire shelf which you should insert on the 4th-or 5th level from the top depending on the size of the food to be cooked.
When using the Rotitherm roapting/grilling method (where fea tured) place the joint on thé wire shelf 3rd and 4th from the top (depending on size of roast) and slot the drip-pan into the 5th or 6th from the top to catch the juices. If you want to roast potatoes in the dripping, allow approximately 1-1% hours cooking time.
Turn the roast over halfway through cooking to ensure an all round crisp and brown joint.

How to use the grill
Prime cuts of meat such as steaks and chops or fish; weighing less than 1 kg can either be fried or grilled^ Salt large pieces short ly before grilling and small ones just after grilling. Turn meat/fish after half the grilling time so that both sides are uni­forrfily browned, turn thin pieces once; thicker pieces neat turn ing more often. On appliances with a dual circuitgrili you should setthe grill to grill symbol 0 for small amounts and to symbol Ш for larger amounts. Select the highest setting on the variable temperature selector to seal the food ^d then turn down to a lower temperature. Position the wire shelf with the projection facing dpw^ds or downwards in­ashelf position of your choice depending on:№e thickness of the food you wish to grill. Place the grill pan on the wire shelf and remove the grill pan han dle.
The oven door is closed during grilling
There is no need to pre-heat thé grill unlèss you prefer to do so. Grill pan and wire shelf can be cleaned more easily if soaked in the sink wrttr water and washing-up liquid after grilling,

The hot ar oven is extremely versatile since you can cook a complete meal in it: You can cook different ioods at ttie same time, such'as fish and cakeSi without any -transfer of smell or taste from one to the other. When menu cooking try to choose foods which require similar cooking temperatures. . . When cooking meat in uncovered con^ners the fat filter must be inserted. When coqking.pies or cakes at the same time as a roast you can choose pies or G^es which normally cook at tempera tures 20 °C lower than the roast. Temperature differences of
1Q “C lower than the toast can be compensated by longer or shorter cooking times. Shelf positions are chosen according to the food being cooked and in connection with the cooking guidelines in the recipe book supplied.

in the oven
Food in flat aiurriinium containers defrosts especialt/ well since aluminium is a good heat conductor. For freezing and subsequent defrosting of meat and vegetable dishes, flat alu minium containers should therefore be used. For defrosting uncooked frozen meat and fruit, closed ovenproof dishes are especially weli suited. Position the containers on the wire shelf or in the meat pan 4th from the top.

For bottling, use only jars with rubber seals and gibss lids. Never use jars with screw tittings or bayonet catches or metal tins: And make sure you use fresh foodstuffs! The oven holds 6 bottling jars of 1-1,5 litres capacity. Place 1 cup of hot water in the drip-pan so that the necessary humidity is retained in the oven. Position the jars in the enamelled pan on the 4th level from the top. The jars should not touch, must wherever possible be filled to the same level with the same contents and must be. se curely clamped, .
To-Switch on, turn the cooking method selector to hot air ¡X]
and the oven temperature control to 160 °C.
Keap an eye on the food being bottled.
As soon as the liquid in the first jars (when bottling fruit or
gherkins) begins to bubble (after around 45 minutes for 1
litre jars) switchoff the oven, but allow: the jars to Stand a fur ther 30 minutes or so - around 15 minutes for soft fruit, e. g. strawberries - in the closed oven. When bottling vegetables or meat, set back the oven tem perature control to 100 “C as soon as the liquid in the first jars
begins to bubble and allow the contents to cook fora further
60-90 minutes. Then switch off the oven and allow the jars to stand a further 30 minutes in the closed oven.

Main Oven
These iristnictions refer to a large range of AEG double and single ovens.
■ A)l, seeondky ovens have a eatalyiic roof panel as. stan dard. Some models have a complete catalytic set provided as stan dard. For those models which do not have it as standard it is available as an optional extra. ,
■ The main oven has catalytic roof (except Vrfratherm ceramic roof models), sides and back panels, either as standard or they are avaSabie as Optional extr^ form your AEG retailer de pending on the model you selected to buy (except ovens wrfiieh include microwave). If your main oven has a pyrolytic self-deaning system) then also consultthe relevant pages for cleaning the oven.
Before cleaning the ovens
Allow the ovens to coot down if they have been used before cleaning, Switch off the ovens before, cleaning.
Cleaning
, Ovens which are cleaned after every use need very little attention.
If leftand used again fatsplasheswjH hake on and are then diffi cult to remove. Clean glass surfaces, frims and controls with a soft cloth and lukewarrh water. Polish dry with a soft cloth. The cerimnic glass oven roof fVltratherm -where featured) can be cleaned: with an oven spray or with “OVenpad" or “Kleen'otf”.
Vitreous enamel inferior surfaces can be cleaned with:
- a damp doth and mild detergent
- cream cleaners such as “Jif and a doth,
- oven cleaners such as '‘Ovenpad" or "Kleenoff”. Do follow the rftanufactLirer’s instruction on the cleaning materials you use carefully,
Take care that oven deaners do hot come in contact with the fan or.^y other part of the oven other than the vitreous enamel:
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch the surface of any part of the appliance.
Catalytic
liners
Secondary
oven
20
Do not use any detergents, abrasives or oven cleaners on catalytic liners.
It should not normdiy be necessary to clean the catalytic roof in water. If you feel you would like to do so, take out.the-root and wash in warm, soapy ™ter, followed by rinsing in clear water.
Page 21
It your oven has a catalytic root, sides and back panel either as standard equipment or if you have bought these parts separately and fitted them, then the following information will be of interest to you. The liners help to keep the oven cleaner as they clean themselves to a great extent during roasting, and baking at temperatures above 2i30 As cleaning may be improved by exposure to a higher temperature it may be necessary to run the overi at 250 °C for 1 or 2 hours per week. Before carrying out such aheat cycle, remove all oven equipment and make sure that you have cleaned the unlined surfaces to prevent any soil frombaking on. For isolat
ed stubborn stains use a soft bush and very hot soapy water. Never use abrasive: cleaners or scouririg powders.
