Safety Instructions
For the
electrical
installer
To comply with safety regulations manufacturers have to draw
your attention to the following:
- According to the technical connection conditions of the elec
tricity board serving your area, the appliance may only be
connected to the mains supply by an approved electrical
installer.
In the fixed connection, a device allowing the appliance to be
isolated on ail poles from the mains supply with a contact open
ing width of at least 3 mm must be provided. Suitable isolating
devices are line protection switches, fuses (to be removed
from the holder), FI switches and contactors.
Please note that in the case of built-in furniture units the plastic
coating or the veneer must be applied with a heat resistant ad
hesive (100 “C). It the plastic coating and the adhesive are not
heat resistant, it is possible for the coating to deform or be
come detached, particularly along the edges of the built-in fur
niture units.
In respect of fire protection, the appliance conforms to type Y
(lEC 335-2-6). Only appliances of this type may be installed on
one side of adjacent upright kitchen housings or walls.
The distance between a hob and fume extractor hood
must be ot the extent indicated in the instaiiation in
structions of the fume extractor hood.
The plinth recess can be adjusted to line up with the furniture
plinth of most types of kitchens.
The height can be adjusted up Irom 90 cm to 91 cm or 92 cm
or down from 90 cm to 85 cm to line up with your kitchen furni
ture.
Remove the fixing screws in the plinth, adjust plinth to the
height required and refit screws.
To compensate for uneven floor conditions, you may like to
consider placing a foot (available from AEG Spare Parts De
partment) next to the rear castor.
For the
electrical
installer
Electrical connection
Local and national electrical regulations must be observed.
All instructions given by the Electricity Board must be followed
carefully when connecting the oven to the mains supply,
This is a job for a qualified and approved electrician. The appli-
ance is rated for 240 volts single phase and must be permanently
connected.
The cooker must be installed in such a way that it can be easily
disconnected from the mains supply before servicing, e.g., by an
adjacent cooker oontrol unit.
Sufficient cable should be iett to enable the appliance to be re
moved from the housing unit whilst still connected to the mains
supply.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED!
Voltage and current
Please ensure that the voltage and current indicated on the rating
plate agrees with the voltage of your electricity supply, 220-240
volts i.e., 220-240 V a.c.
1, Open the cover of the terminal box sideways as illustrated in
fig. G, ' -
2. Pass cable through the grommet in the lower back panel and
the cable clamp.
3. Connect the wires to the terminals in accordance with the dia
gram. Ensure that links are correctly positioned between ter
minals (5 or 6 way terminal block). The length of the earth con
ductor must be adequate to ensure that in case of the cable
clamp breaking the earth wire is subject to mechanic strain
only after the live wires.
4. Tighten the cable damp screw.
5. Close the cover of the terminal box,
6. When pushing the cooker into its permanent position make
sure that the mains cable is neither kinked nor trapped under
the appliance.
After instaPlation there must be no access to live parts
Safety Instructions
For the - When you use the appliance to prepare your food, the
user oven doors and cooking plates become hot. Therefore
keep small children well away from the appliance.
This especially applies when you are grilling or
pyrolyticaiiy cleaning the oven (where applicable).
- Overheated fat 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 near the
cooker. Connection leads should not come in contact with hot
hobs/cooking zones or get trapped in the hot oven door.
- Do not use the ceramic hob as a table top.
- The ceramic hob is very durable but under certain circum
stances it can break, e. g., heavy or pointed objects dropping
onto the surface.
In the case of breakage or cracks, do not use the hob. Turn all
the controls for the hob to 0 and isolate the appliance from the
electrical supply.
- Do not line the oven base with aluminium foil or place any other
cooking utensil on the base, as this will trap heating resulting in
damage to the enamel interior. This invalidates the warranty.
- The cooling fan, where features in ovens and cookers, can
continue to run although all oven switches are turned off. It will
switch itself off automatically, The cooling fan can also come
on automatically although the oven is switched off if the residu
al heat in the oven is too high. The fan switches itself off auto
matically.
- The vitreous enamel in your oven is very durable. However vit
reous enamel is adversely affected by fruit acids (rhubard,
lemon, etc.) and tea which will discolour and dull the enamel.
The performance of the oven is not affected. To prevent spill
age of the above coming in contact with the enamel, place the
cooking container on a baking sheet.
- Do not place the grill/meat pan 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
meat or grill pan.
- Do not use the door as as shelf or resting area for oven
utensils as this may damage the glass and the door
hinges.
- Do not clean the inside or outside of the glass oven
doors with any abrasive cleaning agent as this creates
stress on the giass.
- For safety reasons it is forbidden to clean the appliance with a
steam or highpressure cleaning machine.
- The appliance complies with radio interference suppression
specifications EN 55014 (previously EEC Directive 82/499)
and as appropriate with EN 60555 relating to the Retroactive
Effect of the Mains Supply.
