Important information
2Ecologically responsible disposal of packaging materials and old appliances
Packaging materials
AEG microwave ovens require effective packaging to protect them during transportation. Only the minimum packaging necessary is used.
1Packaging materials (e.g. foil or styrofoam) can place children at risk.
Danger of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.
2All packaging materials used are environment friendly and recyclable. The cardboard is made from recycled paper and the wooden parts are untreated. Plastic items are marked as follows :
«PE» polyethylene eg packaging film «PS» polystyrene eg packaging (CFC-free) «PP» polypropylene eg packaging straps
By using and re-using the packaging, raw materials are saved and waste volume is reduced.
Packaging should be taken to your nearest recycling centre. Contact your local council for information.
Disposal of old appliances
2Old appliances should be made safe before disposal by removing the plug, and cutting off and disposing of the power cable.
It should then be taken to the nearest recycling centre or returned to your electrical retailer, who may dispose of it for a small charge.

1General
∙The appliance should only be operated with the turntable and turntable support inserted.
∙Only suitable microwave ovenware should be used.
∙To protect the appliance against corrosion from moisture (condensation) in the cavity or on the door, wipe these areas dry after each use.
∙Do not leave the appliance unattended when warming or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper, or other flammable materials.
∙If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and disconnect the power supply. Never use the microwave oven if it is no longer functioning properly.
∙This appliance complies with all relevant safety instructions. In order to maintain the safety of the appliance, repairs should only be carried out by a fully qualified electrician, trained by the manufacturer. Repairs carried out by unqualified electricians can place the user in severe danger. In the case of any defect or breakdown, please therefore contact your local electrical dealer or the Comet Service Department directly.
∙Should the door seals and/or door seal surfaces be damaged, the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by the Comet Service Centre or by an AEG-trained electrician.
∙Damaged appliance parts can only be replaced by exactly the same make of parts. Special tools are required for this operation.
1∙WARNING : Do not allow children to use the microwave oven

Safety instructions
Microwaves
1∙ When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid - with the risk of scalding the user.
To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1.Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2.Do not overheat.
3.Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4.After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.
∙Food with «skin» or «peel», such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, and the like, should be pierced with a fork so that any steam present can escape and the food will not burst.
∙Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70°C is attained for the cooking/heating of food. Never use a mercury or liquid thermometer for measuring the temperature of the food.
∙Baby food in jars or bottles should always be heated without a lid or top, and well stirred or shaken after heating, to ensure uniform distribution of the heat. Always check the temperature before feeding your child.
∙The hot food in a microwave oven will heat up the ovenware. For this reason always use oven gloves for handling hot dishes.
∙Never cook your food for too long or at too high a power setting. Some areas of the food can dry out or even ignite.

1Do not use your microwave oven for the following :
∙to boil eggs or escargots in their shells, as they will burst. Eggs can be poached or «fried» in a microwave oven as long as the yolks are pricked.
∙to heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue or deep frying) and drinks containing a high percentage of alcohol - there is danger of spontaneous combustion!
∙to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc.
∙to dry animals, textiles or paper.
∙for crockery like porcelain, ceramics, or porous earthenware (e.g. on the handles or unglazed bases) that can fill up with water. This can cause vapour pressure to build up during cooking which could shatter the dish.
