Safety instructions
For the The safety requirements oblige me to give the following instruc-
¡nstaller tions:
When installing cooking appliances into kitchen furniture the en
closed installation instructions must be strictly adhered to.
For the - If my high quality ceramic oven roof breaks or cracks
user appear, do not use my oven at all.
- My oven needs to be switched off and must be isolated
from the electrical supply. Contact AEG Service Depart
ment as soon as possible.
When you use me to prepare your food, my oven doors
and cooking plates become hot. Therefore keep small
children well away from me.
This especially applies when you are grilling or
pyrolytically cleaning my oven (where applicable).
Overheated tat and cooking oil may ignite. Prepare foods re
quiring tat or oil (chips) only under constant supervision.
Do not use me 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 line my oven base with aluminium toil or place any other
cooking utensil on my base, as this will trap heat resulting in
damage to my enamel interior This invalidates my warranty.
The vitreous enamel in your oven is very durable. However vit
reous enamel is adversely affected by fruit acids (rhubarb,
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.
I comply 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 Mams
Supply

My different cooking options
___
Conventional electric cooking
This method of cooking uniformly radiates heat from above
and below. You should however make sure that you only cook
on one level to ensure a uniform distribution ot heat.
Hot air cooking
A fan ensures that hot air is continuously circulated around the
oven allowing you to cook, bake and roast at several levels si
multaneously. This cooking method also uses lower tempera
tures, This system saves you time and is highly energy effi
cient.
Rotitherm roasting/grilling
This cooking method combines the fan with the grill element. It
replaces the rôtisserie in your oven and is an excellent method
of roasting/grilling meat and poultry on one level. It is also per
fect for “au gratin” dishes.
Grilling
The grill element is used to grill foods such as steaks, chops,
sausages, fish, etc.

The cooking tables supplied recommend the shelf positions on
which my main oven will produce best results.
The roof of my secondary oven is fitted with a catalytic liner
which largely prevents my oven root from becoming soiled.

ered containers (i. e. do not insert when baking!);
- During Rotitherm roasting/grilling (on multi-function ovens
only).
How to insert my fat filter:
Hold the tat 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 tan opening. The fat filter must cover the opening com
pletely.
Cleaning the fat filter
The fat filter should be cleaned after every use. How to clean the

Baking
With conven
tional top/
bottom heat
Bakeware
Cakes are baked either in cake tins or alternatively on baking
sheets, full width baking sheets are available from AEG Spare
Parts as an optional extra.
How bakeware affects browning:
1, Bakeware, which is dark in colour, has a non-stick coating
or IS made from aluminium is the best as heat is absorbed
and then transferred to the cake resulting in shorter cook
ing times, lower energy and better browning.
2. Bakeware which is light in colour or is made of tin reflect
the heat resulting in longer cooking times and poorer
browning. It IS advisable not to use such bakeware when
using conventional top and bottom heat.
Baking on one level
Using the conventional method you can only bake on one
level at any one time. The shallower the cake, the higher you
should place it in my oven.
Baking times and temperatures
In many cases, it is not necessary to preheat me. The recom
mended temperatures and times given in the enclosed chart
are guidelines only To suit personal taste it may be necessary
to make small adjustments.
With
hot air
18
Recommendations
I recommend hot air cooking for all types of baking. However,
you may prefer cooked cheesecakes, all types of sponges,
bread and rich fruit cakes cooked by the conventional meth
od.
When you use my hot air cooking system I can cook on sever
al levels simultaneously This saves time, is convenient and
energy efficient. I can also cook different cakes at the same
time for instance a Victoria Sandwich and a Bakewell Tart or a
Madeira Cake with a Dundee Cake. Simply make sure that the
cooking temperatures are roughly the same and that sufficient
space IS left between the shelves to allow the air to circulate
freely.
If baking cakes with 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.
Page 19
Baking times and temperatures
When baking with hot air it is often unnecessary to pre-heat
my oven. For exceptions see enclosed baking charts.
If you use my 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 a quick 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 10-20 minutes.
Baking on one or more levels
You can bake on several levels simultaneously. Place cake tins
centrally on the wire shelves to ensure even cooking results. Full
width baking sheets and additional wire shelves are available as
optional extras - see section “Optional Extras” in this booklet.

Cooking method
■ Choose the most suitable cooking method from my various
options:
Conventional top/botton heat
Hot air
Rotitherm roasting/grilling
Where the attached cooking charts highlight shelf positions
and temperatures in bold my oven may give you the better re
sult when using this cooking method. However you may wish
to experiment and decide for yourself which cooking method
gives the best result.
A note to Rotitherm roasting/grilling as this is a relatively new
method of cooking meat and poultry although spit roasting
which Rotitherm is replacing is not so new. Rotitherm is very
much more convenient to use than a spit and once you have
tried it you will be delighted with the results.
Recommendations
Wipe and weigh the meat. If stuffing is used, weigh the stuffed
joint to calculate the cooking time. Place the joint in a suitable
roasting dish, season with salt and pepper and brush lean
joints with melted fat.
When cooking pies, place dish on a baking sheet to avoid
spillage on to the floor of the oven.
Cooking
temperatures
and times
20
The times and temperatures given in the roasting chart provide a
guide when cooking meat. Some adjustments may be necessary
depending on the type of meat to be cooked. Cooking times
have been given for meat which is at room temperature.
Prime cuts can be cooked at higher temperatures than those
which require a longer cooking time to tenderise the meat. A thick
joint will require longer to cook through than a thinner one.
A boned rolled joint will require a longer cooking time than one
with the bone left in as bone is a conductor of heat.
A small joint will require longer cooking time per 450 g (1 lb) than
a large one. Allow an extra 30 minutes cooking time for joints up
to and including 1.5 kg (3 lb).
If the joint IS cooked in foil the temperature has to be increased by
10 °C. To brown the joint, remove foil for the last 15 minutes or so
of the cooking time.
If cooking from frozen, place joint in a covered container and ex
tend the calculated cooking time by approximately one third. To
brown and crisp meat remove cover for the last 30 minutes of the
cooking period.
Page 21
Never use stainless steel ovenware in my oven, since it reflects
the heat. Meat, poultry, and fish should be cooked in ovenproof
dishes or in my 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 smaller area and reduce splashing. If you
wish to roast potatoes in the same dish around the joint rather
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 my 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 roasting/grilling method (where fea
tured) place the joint on the 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'/4 hours cooking time.
Turn the roast over halfway through cooking to ensure an all
round crisp and brown joint.

Page 22
Roasting
meat using
the meat
thermometer
The meat thermometer takes the guesswork out of roasting meat
regardless of whether you use the conventional, hot air or
Rotitherm roasting/grilling method.
A thermo couple is located in the tip of the meat thermometer
which “senses” the temperatures. When the meat thermometer is
plugged into the side of the oven, the oven will work automatically
until the temperature inside the meat is the same as the one you
selected on the electronic timer.
WARNING: Only use the meat thermometer supplied with
the oven. If a replacement becomes necessary only use a
meat thermometer ordered from AEG Spare Parts Depart
ment.
To switch on
1 Insert the meat thermometer horizontally into the thickest part
of the joint and push the probe into the joint until the tip is as
near to the centre of the joint as possible making sure to avoid
bones and fat. Position meat pan in the oven.
2. Insert the meat thermometer plug firmly into the socket on the
inside of the oven.

Secondary Oven
My secondary oven is useful for cooking small quantities of food,
e. g., one small cake or a small roast (max. 2 kg). Do not overload
my secondary oven as too much food may result in excessive
amounts of steam developing.
When using my secondary oven place the cooking container on a
wire shelf having removed all other oven equipment first.
Warning!
The handle must be removed whilst grilling. Failing to do
so will result in overheating of the handle. This may cause
damage leading to breakage of the handle.
Inserting the handle
Lock it into the grip at the front of the pan. See illustration.

Traditional
grilling
and
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 uni
formly browned. Turn thin pieces once: thicker pieces need turn
ing more often.
On appliances with a dual circuit grill you should set the grill to
grill symbol 0 for small amounts and to symbol for larger
amounts.
Select the highest setting on the variable temperature selector to
seal the food and then turn down to a lower temperature. Position
the wire shelf with the projection facing upwards .or downwards in
a shelf position of your choice depending on the thickness of the
food you wish to grill.
Place the grill pan on the wire shelf and remove the grill pan han
dle.
Where the appliance features a vapour vent, this must be open
during grilling.
Main oven: the oven door is closed during grilling
(if oven features a grill element)
Secondary oven: the oven door is left OPEN during
grilling.
There IS no need to pre-heat my grill unless you prefer to do
so.
Grill pan and wire shelf can be cleaned more easily if soaked in
the sink with water and washing-up liquid after grilling.

My hot air oven is extremely versatile since you can cook a
complete meal in it. You can cook different foods at the same
time, such as fish and cakes, 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 containers the fat filter
must be inserted.
When cooking pies or cakes at the same time as a roast you
can choose pies or cakes which normally cook at tempera
tures 20 °C lower than the roast. Temperature differences of
10 °C lower than the roast can be compensated by longer or
shorter oooking times.
Shelf positions are chosen according to the food being
cooked and in connection with the cooking guidelines in the
recipe book supplied.

Defrosting
by hot air
in the main
oven
Food in flat aluminium containers defrosts especially 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 well suited.
Position the containers on the wire shelf or in the meat pan 4th

For bottling, use only jars with rubber seals and glass lids.
Never use jars with screw fittings or bayonet catches or metal
tins. And make sure you use fresh foodstuffsl
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.
Vapour vent (where featured): closed.
To switch on, turn my cooking method selector to hot air [A|
and the oven temperature control to 160 “C.
Keep 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) switch off 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 my 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 for a further
60-90 minutes. Then switch off the oven and allow the jars to
stand a further 30 minutes in the closed oven.

These instructions refer to a large range of AEG double
and single ovens.
All secondary ovens have a catalytic roof panel as standard.
The mam oven has catalytic roof (except Vitratherm ceramic roof
models), sides and back panels, either as standard or they are
available as optional extras form your AEG retailer depending on
the model you selected to buy (except ovens which include mi
crowave). If your mam oven has a pyrolytic self-cleaning system,
then also consult the relevant pages-for cleaning the oven.
Before cleaning my ovens
Allow my ovens to cool 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 leff and used again fat splashes will bake on and are then diffi
cult to remove.
Clean glass surfaces, trims and controls with a soft cloth and
lukewarm water Polish dry with a soft cloth.
The ceramic glass oven roof (Vitratherm,- where featured) can be
cleaned with an oven spray or with “Ovenpad” or “Kleenoff”.
Vitreous enamel interior surfaces can be cleaned with:
- a damp cloth and mild detergent
- cream cleaners such as “Jif” and a cloth.
- oven cleaners such as “Ovenpad" or “Kleenoff” Do follow the
manufacturer’s instruction on the cleaning materials you use
carefully
Take care that oven cleaners do not come in contact with the fan
or any 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.

Do not use any detergpnts, abrasives or oven cleaners on
catalytic liners.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the catalytic roof in
water If you feel you would like to do so, take out the roof and
wash in warm, soapy water, followed by rinsing m clear
water.

If your oven has a catalytic roof, 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 200 °C. As cleaning may be improved by exposure to a
higher temperature it may be necessary to run the oven at 250 °C
for 1 or 2 hours per week. Before carrying out such a heat cycle,
remove all oven equipment and make sure that you have cleaned
the unlined surfaces to prevent any soil from baking on. For isolat
ed stubborn stains use a soft bush and very hot soapy water
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring powders.

oven control knob or my cooking method selector to the lamp po
