1 Safety
Electrical Safety
• The appliance may only be connected by a registered specialist.
• In the event of any faults or damage to the appliance: remove fuses
or switch off.
• It is not permissible to clean the appliance with a steam or high
pressure cleaner for safety reasons!
• Repairs to the appliance may only be carried out by specialists. Re-
pairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
malfunctioning. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact
your local AEG Service Force Centre or your specialist dealer.
Child Safety
• Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.
Safety whilst Using
• This appliance is intended to be used for cooking, frying and baking
food in the home.
• Take care when connecting electric appliances to sockets nearby. Do
not allow connecting leads to come into contact with hot rings or to
catch beneath the hot oven door.
• Warning: Risk of burns! The interior of the oven becomes hot dur-
ing use.
• Using ingredients containing alcohol in the oven may create an alcohol-air mixture that is easily ignited. In this case, open the door carefully. Do not have embers, sparks or naked flames in the vicinity when
opening the door.
5
To Avoid Damaging Your Appliance
• Do not line your oven with aluminium foil and do not place a baking
tray or dish on the oven floor, otherwise the oven enamel will be
damaged by the resulting build up of heat.
• Juice from fruit that drips from baking trays will leave marks that
cannot be removed. For very moist cakes, use the universal baking
tray.
• Do not put any weight on the oven door when it is open.
• Never pour water directly into the hot oven. The enamel may be dam-
aged.
• Using force, especially on the edges of the front glass panel, may
break the glass.
• Do not store inflammable objects in the oven. They may ignite when
the oven is switched on.
• Do not store moist food in the oven. The enamel may be damaged.

16
Uses, Tables and Tips
Baking
Use the pizza & baking S, fan cooking U or conventional O oven
functions for baking.
Remove the fat filter when baking, as otherwise the baking time is
3
longer and the surface will brown unevenly.
Baking tins
• Coated baking tins and tins made of dark metal are suitable for
conventional O heat.
• Light metallic, glass and ceramic containers are also suitable for pizza
& baking S and fan cooking U.
Shelf positions
• Pizza & baking S or conventional O can both be used for baking on
one level.
• Using fan cooking U it is possible to bake flat, dry cakes and pastries
on up to 3 baking trays at the same time
1 Baking tray
e.g., shelf position 3
2 Baking trays:
Shelf positions 1 and 4
1 Baking tin:
e.g., shelf position 1
3 Baking trays:
Shelf positions 1, 3 and 5
17
General information
3
• Always count the shelf positions from the bottom upwards.
• Insert baking trays with the sloped edge to the front!
• Always place cake tins in the middle of the shelf.
• With pizza & baking S or conventional O you can also bake two
items simultaneously by placing the tins next to one another on the
shelf. There is no significant increase in baking time.
Notes on the baking tables
In the tables you will find information on temperatures, cooking times
and shelf positions for a selection of dishes.
• The temperatures and cooking times are for guidance only since these
are dependent on the mixture, quantity and cake tin used.
• We recommend that you use the lower temperature initially and only
select a higher temperature if necessary, e.g., if more browning is required or the cooking time is too long.
• If you cannot find specific information for one of your own recipes,
use information given in a similar recipe for guidance.
• When cakes are baked on trays or in tins on more than one oven po-
sition at once the baking time may be increased by 10-15 minutes.
• Items that might drip (e.g., pizzas, fruit flans) should only be prepared
on one level.
• Variations in the height of the item to be baked can lead to different
degrees of browning at the start of baking. In this case please do not
change the temperature setting. Differences in the degree of
browning will balance out during baking.
18
For longer cooking times switch off the oven approx. 10 minutes before
2
the end of the cooking time to make use of the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the information in the tables assumes starting
with a cold oven.

Roasting
Use the rotitherm I or conventional O oven functions for roasting.
Ovenware for roasting
• Any heat-resistant dish is suitable for roasting (refer to the manufacturer's instructions!).
• If the dish has plastic handles, check that they are heat-resistant (refer to manufacturer's instructions!).
• Large roasts can be roasted directly on the universal baking tray or
on the shelf with the universal baking tray underneath (e.g. tur-
key, goose, 3-4 chickens, 3-4 knuckles of veal).
• We recommend that all lean pieces of meat should be roasted in a
casserole dish with a lid (e.g. veal, marinated beef, pot roast, frozen
meat.) In this way the meat will retain its juices.
• In order to obtain a tasty outside crust we recommend roasting
pieces of meat in a casserole dish without a lid (e.g. roast pork, lamb
and mutton, meat loaf, duck, 1-2 knuckles of veal, 1-2 chickens, small
fowl, roast beef, fillets, game).

Notes on the roasting table
3
Information is given in the table on suitable oven functions, temperature settings, cooking times and shelf positions for various types of
meat. The information is for guidance.
• We recommend roasting meat and fish with a minimum weight of
1kg in the oven.
• In general the conventional O oven function is particularly suitable
for very lean meat such as fish or game. For all other types of meat
(particularly poultry) we recommend the rotitherm I function.
• To stop meat juices or fat burning onto dishes or the oven, we recommend adding a little liquid to the roasting dish.
• Turn the joint as required (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).
Tip: Baste large joints and poultry several times during cooking with
3
the meat juices. This will produce better roasting results.
Switch off the oven approx. 10 minutes before the end of the cooking
2
time to make use of the residual heat.

Defrosting
To defrost, use the defrost A oven function without setting a temperature.
Dishes for defrosting
• Remove packaging and place the food on a plate on the shelf.
• Do not use a plate or dish to cover as these significantly increase the
defrosting time.
Shelf positions
• Insert the shelf in the 1st position from the bottom to defrost.
Notes on the defrosting table
The table below offers some guidance on defrosting times.

Preserving
For making preserves, use the bottom heat Ü oven function.
Preserving jars
• When making preserves, use only commercially available jars of the
same size.
Jars with twist-off tops or with a bayonet fastening and metal
3
containers are not suitable.
Shelf positions
• Use the 1st shelf position from the bottom for making preserves.
Notes on preserves
• Use the universal tray for preserves. There is room for up to six jars,
each with a capacity of 1 litre.
• The jars should all be filled to the same level and closed.
• Position the jars on the universal baking tray so that they do not
come into contact with one another.
• Pour about ½ litre of water into the universal baking tray so that
there is sufficient moisture in the oven.
• As soon as bubbles begin to appear in the first jars (for 1-litre jars this
takes about 35-60 minutes), switch off the oven or reduce the temperature to 100° C (see table).

Service
The section "What do I do if...“ lists some faults that you can remedy
yourself. Look there first if a fault occurs.
Is it a technical fault?
Then contact your nearest customer service centre. (Addresses and telephone numbers can be found under "Customer Service Centres“.)
Always prepare in advance for the discussion. By doing so you will make
it easier to diagnose the fault and decide whether customer service is
necessary.
Please make a note of the folllowing information as accurately as
possible:
• What form does the fault take?
• Under what circumstances does
the fault occur?
Prior to the telephone call it is imperative that you make a note of
the following appliance code numbers that are given on the rating
plate:
• PNC Code (9 digits),
• S No Code (8 digits).
We recommend that you record the code numbers here so that you always have them to hand:
PNC . . . . . . . . .
S No. . . . . . . . .
When do you incur costs even during the warranty period?
• if you could have remedied the fault using the fault table (see section
"What to do if ...“),
• if the customer service technician has to make several journeys because he was not provided with all the relevant information before
his visit and therefore, for example, has to fetch spare parts. These
multiple trips can be avoided if you prepare for your phone call as
described above.
