OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety Instructions
Your new appliance is to only to be installed and connected by a
qualified specialist.
Please observe this instruction, otherwise the warranty will not cover
any damage that may occur.
The safety features of AEG electrical appliances comply with recognised
technical standards and the German equipment 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 electrical appliances into mains sockets near
the hob. Connecting leads must not touch the hot rings or be trapped
under the hot oven door.
• Do not store inflammable substances in the oven. They may ignite
when the oven is switched on.
• It is forbidden to clean the appliance with a steam or high pressure
cleaner for safety reasons!
• If force is used, above all on the edges of the front pane of glass, the
glass may break.
• When you cook, roast and grill, the oven door will become hot.
For this reason, always keep small children away.
• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. When you are cooking
foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips), please stay close.
• If you use ingredients containing alcohol in the oven, an easily ignitable alcohol air mixture may be created. In this case, open the door
carefully. Do not have embers, sparks or naked flames in the vicinity
when opening the door. We recommend to leave the dish in the
closed oven to cool for approx. 10-15 minutes after switching off the
oven.
• Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved ser-
vice engineers. Improper repairs can cause significant hazards for the
user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer service or your dealer.
• In the case of malfunctions on the appliance: Remove fuses or switch
them off.
5
Operating Instructions
Correct 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.
How to Avoid Damaging Your Appliance
• 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. This is the easiest time to remove
spills; they also do not then become burnt on.
• Juice from fruit that drips from baking sheets will leave marks that
cannot be removed. For very moist cakes, use the universal sheet.
• Never pour water directly into the hot oven. The enamel may be damaged.
• Do not sit on the open oven door/open oven drawer.
• Do not store moist food in the oven.

Operating Instructions
Eco-Insulation
The oven is fitted in the factory with eco-insulation. This insulation has
been tested by independent test institutes for hazardous materials and
has been classified as harmless.
2 Disposal
Disposal of Packaging Material
All materials used can be fully recycled.
The plastics are marked as follows:
• >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. as used for the outer wrapping and the
bags inside.
• >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. as used for the packing pieces, completely free of CFCs.
The cardboard is made from 80% recycled paper.
Disposal of Old Appliances
To protect the environment, it is important that worn out appliances
are disposed of in the correct manner. This applies to your old appliance
and, when one day it ceases to be used, also to your new appliance.
Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
1
Unplug from the mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any
snap-action catches or latches. In this way you prevent children at play
from shutting themselves in the appliance (risk of suffocation!) or getting themselves into other hazardous situations.
Information on Disposal
2
• The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.
• You can obtain information about collection dates or public tips from
your local refuse department or council.
• You can also take the appliance to your AEG dealer; he will dispose of
it for you for a small contribution towards the costs.

Operating Instructions
The Key Features of Your Appliance
• Mains Button: The complete appliance is switched on and off using
the mains button. This provides additional safety, particularly if there
are children in the house, as it is not possible to accidentally switch
on the appliance. This button also makes the appliance easier to use
as all functions can be switched off at the touch of one button.
• Safety Cut-Out: The oven has a safety cut-out. If the oven is not
switched off or the temperature changed after a certain period of
time, the oven switches itself off automatically.
• Child Safety Feature: In addition, this appliance is equipped with a
child safety feature for the oven. As soon as the child safety feature is
activated, the oven cannot be accidentally switched on.
• Electronic Oven Regulator: The oven is controlled via an electronic
regulator that permits precise temperature adjustment. For additional
ease of use, the regulator also provides a suggested temperature for
each oven function that is selected.
• Heat Protective Glazing: The panes of glass are ventilated from
below so that the oven door does not become too hot, by this means
any risk of burns is avoided.
• Time Display: A 24 hour display indicates the time when the oven is
switched off. However if required, it is possible to switch off this display to save energy.

intensive browning and a crispy base. These include, e.g. pizza, quiche
lorraine, cheese cake, etc.
Oven temperatures are generally 20-40 °C lower than for conventional.
The top and bottom heater elements are used and the fan is also
switched on.
c FAN COOKING
Fan cooking is particularly suited to baking on several levels at the
same time.
Oven temperatures are generally 20-40 °C lower than for conventional.
An annular heater element and part of the lower heater element are
used. In addition, a fan in the back wall of the oven ensures that the
hot air in the oven is circulated continuously. Hot air reaches all sides of
the food.
O CONVENTIONAL
Conventional is suited to baking and roasting on one level.
Heat is supplied evenly from above and below.
d ROTHITHERM
Rothitherm is particularly suited to grilling or roasting larger pieces of
meat or poultry on one level. This function is also suited to gratinating
and browning.
The grill heater element and fan are used simultaneously.
R Fast Warm Up
Using the fast warm up auxiliary function, you can very quickly preheat the empty oven for the above mentioned functions.
Several heaters are used simultaneously for the fast warm up function.
F GRILL
Grill is particularly suited to the grilling or toasting of flat foods, for
example, steaks, cutlets, fish or toast.
The heat is supplied from the grill element on the oven ceiling.
13
Operating Instructions
Ü BOTTOM HEAT
Using this oven function you can, for example, re-bake moist cakes
using heat from below so that they are crispy.
Here the heater fitted in the base of the oven is used.
A DEFROST
Using the defrost oven function you can, for example, initiate even
defrosting or completely defrost cakes, butter, vegetables or other
delicate foods.
With this function, only the fan is in operation without heating.
14
Operating Instructions
Prior to Using for the First Time
Setting/Changing the Time
Following the connection of mains power, the TIME function indicator
and the temperature/time display flash.

this way you can reach the required value more rapidly.
If the appliance has been isolated from the mains, e.g. due to a fuse
3
being switched off, the temperature/time display starts flashing again.
In this case, set the time again as described.

There are two possible ways of using the automatic function:
• Automatic Switching Off: If you have switched on the oven, and
simply do not want to forget to switch it off at the right time, using
the clock you can set either the cook time or the end time. The oven
then switches itself off automatically.
• Automatic Switching On and Off: When you, for example, in the
morning or at lunch time want to prepare a dish for the evening, you
can set the cook time and also the end time. The oven then switches
on automatically at the calculated start time, and switches off again
automatically at the end of the cooking time.
– Example: The roast requires cooking for 1 hour: COOK TIME = 1.00.
The roast is to be ready at 18:00: END TIME = 18.00.
The oven function can be selected either before or after setting the
automatic function.
