1 Safety Instructions
The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be carried out by a registered specialist.
Where damage occurs the warranty will not apply if this instruction has not been adhered to.
The safety features of AEG electrical appliances comply with recognised technical standards and the German law covering equipment safety. However, as manufacturers we also believe it is our responsibility to familiarise you with the following safety instructions.
General Safety
•Take care when connecting electrical appliances to sockets near to the appliance. Do not allow connecting leads to come into contact with hot rings or to catch beneath the hot oven door.
•Do not store inflammable objects in the oven. They may ignite when the oven is switched on.
•For safety reasons cleaning the appliance with a steam jet cleaner or high-pressure water cleaner is not permissible.
•Using force, especially on the edges of the front glass panel, may break the glass.
•Caution: Risk of burning! Whenever you bake, roast or grill the oven door becomes hot, as do the inner surfaces of the oven, heating elements and accessories. Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves and take every care to avoid burns. For this reason keep children away from the appliance at all times.
•Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. Do not leave the appliance unattended when cooking food in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
•Using ingredients containing alcohol in the oven may create an alco- hol-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. We recommend that you leave the cooked item in the oven with the door closed and the oven turned off for about 10 - 15 minutes to cool.
•Repairs to the appliance may only be carried out by qualified specialists. Improperly effected repairs may result in significant risk to the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer service or your dealer.
•If the appliance malfunctions: remove fuses or switch off.
5
Intended Use
•This appliance is intended to be used for cooking, frying and baking food in the home and must not be used for any other purpose.
•Only use the appliance to prepare food.
•Do not use the oven as a room heater.
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.
•Clean the appliance after each use. This is the easiest way to remove spills and prevents them being burnt on.
•Juice from fruit that drips from baking trays will leave marks that cannot be removed. For very moist cakes, use the universal baking tray.
•Never pour water directly into the hot oven. The enamel may be damaged.
•Do not put any weight on the open oven door.
•Do not store moist food in the oven.

2 Disposal
Disposing of packaging material
All materials used can be fully recycled.
The cardboard container is made from 80% recycled paper. Plastics are marked as follows:
•>PE< indicates polythene, as used on the outer covering and the wrappings inside.
•>PS< indicates expanded polystyrene e.g., the padding materials. It is entirely CFC-free.
Any unwanted packaging materials will be taken back by your dealer free of charge.
Disposing 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 will also apply to your new appliance at some time in the future when it is no longer required.
1 Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and remove the mains lead.
This prevents children getting into life-threatening situations when playing.
2 Disposal advice
•The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.
•You can obtain information about collection dates or public refuse disposal sites from your local refuse department or council.
•You can also take the appliance to your AEG dealer; they will dispose of it for you for a small contribution towards the costs.
Eco-insulation
The oven is fitted during manufacture with eco-insulation. This insulation has been tested for harmful substances by independent test centres and has been classified safe.
