Before using the cooker for the first time
To switch on the oven
Remove all oven accessories and clean with
hot water and washing-up liquid. Switch on the
empty oven by selecting symbol Q on the
cooking method selector (fig. 1/A) and 250 °C
on the temperature control (fig. 1/B) and leave
for 30 minutes to burn off the bonding agent
incorporated in the oven insulation. During this
time there will be an unpleasant odour which is
unavoidable. When the oven has cooled down
clean It with hot water and washing-up liquid.
Important
The surface of the oven get hot during
operation. Take care and always keep small
children away from cooking appliances.
Getting to know your oven
General
Your oven incorporates five cooking methods
from which you can choose;
1. Ventitherm fan cooking
2. Conventional cooking
3. Infra-therm grilling
4. Hot air grilling
5. Traditional grilling
Important
' Do not line the oven or any part thereof with
luminium foil. This tends to trap heat
resulting in poor cooking performance and
damage to the enamelled interior.
■ The vitreous enamel in your oven is very
durable. However vitreous 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 spillage of
the above coming in contact with the
enamel, place the cooking container on a
baking sheet.
■ Clean the oven after every use to prevent a
build-up of soilage. To aid cleaning of the
oven a 3-piece catalytic liner set is available
as an optional extra, (see page 16 “optional
extras”).
For roasting, stewing, and baking choose
either the fan or the conventional cooking
method depending on your personal
preference. Consult your AEG recipe book for
details. For batch baking and complete meal
cooking choose the Ventitherm cooking
method as you can cook on several levels
simultaneously. This will save time and energy.
It is quite normal for some steam or
condensation to develop when cooking
foods with high moisture content or large
quantities of food.
The oven is equipped with an advance
cooling system to keep temperatures in
oven housing units to a minimum. A short
while after the oven has been switched on
the ventilator of the cooling system switches
on and remains in operation during cooking
and for some time aftenA/ards. It will switch
off automatically.
Shelf positions
Fig. 2
Your oven has 4 shelf positions. Consult your
oe book AEG for details.
Insert the fat filter
Fig.3
The fat filter is used for open roasting and
grilling of any kind. The fat filter absorbs
airborne fat preventing it from reaching the fan.
How to insert the fat filter
Hold the fat filter by the small handle (fig. 3)
and insert the 2 clips (fig. 4) into the slots in
the back panel over the fan (fig. 5). Make sure
that the fat filter covers the fan opening
completely (fig. 6).
How to select the different cooking methods
1. Venthherm Ian cooking
Select (51 on the selector switch
(fig. 1/A) and the required
temperature on the oven tempera
ture control (fig. 1/B) if you want
to use the oven as a Ventitherm.
For detailed information on the
Ventitherm cooking method
consult your AEG recipe book.
2. Conventional electric cooking
If you want to use the oven as a
conventional electric oven select Q
on the selector switch (fig. 1/A) and
the required temperature on the oven
temperature control (fig. 1/B). For
further information consult your AEG
recipe book.
Grilling
You can choose from 3 different
methods of grilling.
Traditional grilling with a radiant
grill element (fig. 7).
Insert the fat filter.
Insert the deflector plate in the slot
provided just above the oven
(fig. 7 arrow).
Select n on the cooking method
selector (fig. 1/A) and 6 on the
oven temperature control (fig. 1/B).
Pre-heat grill for 3-5 minutes on
this setting. To lower the heat
select any setting between 1 and 6.
Place the food on the reversible
wire shelf In the enamelled pan.
Position the pan on the required
runner. Close the oven door up to
the resting position (fig. 8).
Engage the grill pan handle from
either end of the pan and slide
it to the centre (fig. 9). If you
wish to leave the handle on during
grilling the door has to be left
completely open.
How to select the different cooking methods
Infra-therm grilling
This replaces the rôtisserie in your
oven and is suitable for joints and
poultry, weighing 1 kg (2 lb) or more.
Insert the fat filter.
Select O on the cooking method
selector (fig. 1/A) and the required
temperature on the oven temperature

the bottom.
The wire shelf is located 2nd from
the bottom (except for fillet of beef 3rd).
Hot air grilling
This method is ideal for grilling
toasted snacks, chicken portions,
chops, steaks, kebabs etc. without
turning the food.
Insert the fat filter.

control
Food is placed directly in the
enamelled pan or on the reversible
wire shelf in the pan.
For cooking times and
temperatures consult your
recipe book AEG.
The oven door Is closed during
Infra-therm grilling.
The baking sheets available as
an optional extra are also well
suited for this type of grilling If
you want to grill on 2 or 3
levels simultaneously.

sheets can be lined with non
stick parchment. For further
details consult your AEG recipe
book. The oven door is closed
during hot air grilling.
To switch off the oven

Preserving with Ventithemn
Important
Use only bottling jars with rubber seals and
glass lids.
Do not use jars with screw tops, bayonet clips
or tins. For best results hygienic handling and
good quality fresh foods are essential.
Up to six 1-11/2 litre jars can be placed in the
oven.
^nelf position
Slide the enamelled pan onto the 2nd runner
from the bottom and place jars, leaving a
space between each, onto it.
The jars should be of the same size and
should be filled with the same amount and
contents. Make sure that the tops are firmly
clipped to the jars. Stand a cup of hot water in
the pan to maintain the necessary moisture in
the oven.
Close the oven door.
To switch on the oven
Select symbol ^ on the cooking method
selector (fig. 1/A) and 160 °C on the oven

Fruit
Watch the contents of the jars until bubbles
form in the first jar (approx. 35-45 minutes for
1 litre jars, approx. 45-60 minutes for V/2 litre
jars).
Switch off the oven and leave the jars in the
closed oven for a further 30 minutes. For soft
fruit, eg. strawberries, allow only 15 minutes.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning of tfie oven
Before cleaning switch off the oven and allow it
to cool down. For best results the oven should
be cleaned after each use as food deposits will
dry or bake on when the oven is used again.
Never use an abrasive such as wire wool, or
scouring powder. The following can be used
depending on the degree of soilage:
1. A damp cloth and mild detergent.
2. Cream cleaners such as “JIf” and a cloth or
nylon scourer such as “Scotchbrite”.
3. Oven cleaners such as “Ovenpad” or
“Kleenoff”. Do follow the manufacturers
instructions on the cleaning materials you
use carefully. For cleaning of painted
surfaces, glass, plastic and catalytic liners
use mild detergents only.
Removal of the oven door
For thorough cleaning the oven door should be
removed. Proceed as follows:
1. Open the door and unlock safety catches
on both sides of the door. Using a coin
(fig. 12) give the locks holding the catches
a quarter turn (90 degrees) in clockwise
direction.
2. Close the door approximately halfway to the
stop position.
3. Press the door slightly forward and lift off.
Do not lift door by the handle.
4. To replace the door, reverse this sequence.
Remember to lock the safety catches by
returning them to their original position
(quarter turn anti-clockwise).
Oven interior light
During cleaning, the oven interior can be illumi
nated. To switch on the oven light turn the
cooking method selector to the symbol {ft .
Fat filter
The fat filter should be cleaned after use. Hold
the filter by the handle and lift upwards. Boil
the fat filter In hot water with some automatic
washing powder added. See page 7 for details
on how to insert the fat filter.

Optional extras
Optional catalytic set KS 9 E-No. 611 899 405
An optional catalytic set is available consisting
of two side panels and one rear panel which
replaces the existing one.
The two catalytic side panels are fastened (as
Illustrated) behind the shelf supports with two
nuts each side. Make sure that the catalytic
coating faces the interior of the oven.
These 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 X 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 unllned surfaces to prevent
any soil from baking on.
For isolated stubborn stains use a soft brush
and very hot soapy water. Never use abrasive
cleaners or scouring powders.
