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 service 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.

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.
1	Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
	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 get-
	ting themselves into other hazardous situations.
2	Information on Disposal
	• 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.
