Microwaves -

what are they?

Microwaves belong to the family of electromagnetic waves. These waves are able to transmit energy like radio waves. Microwaves are close relatives of the short waves known in radio and TV, being used, not to transmit music and TV pictures, but to cook food. During the cooking cycle, the microwaves penetrate inside the food. Without any intermediate carrier, they generate heat below the surface by causing the food molecules to vibrate. The heat of friction thus generated propagates through the food, enabling the

latter to be defrosted, heated, and cooked.

This is the basic difference between a microwave appliance and

conventional cooker. Cookers externally apply heat to the food

via heat flux (oven), heat conduction (hob), or heat radiation

(grill). How quickly a microwave oven cooks food depends very strong ly on the quantity, quality, and shape of the food. Since, during microwave cooking, heat is not uniformly generated at all locations, it is important that the food to be heated is stirred or turned when large quantities are being cooked. Since this cooking method involves generation of heat inside the food itself and not via an intermediate carrier (fat or water),

nutrient-conserving cooking is possible. Vitamins and minerals are retained in the food and not swept away as during conventional cooking.

Safety instructions

Safety

Instructions for the user

The golden rules for trouble-free and safe working with a

microwave oven

1. Switch the appiiance on only when food has been placed In the cooking space and oniy operate it when the turntable is inserted.

2. Always keep the appliance clean, especially in the vicinity of the door seals and door seal surfaces.

3. Never damage:

m the door

■ the door hinges

■ the door seals and their surface

■ the door frame

(e.g. never jam anything between door and frame) Clean the door seals and their surfaces (also the door frame) with a mild detergent and hot water.

Note:

Should the door seals and door seal surfaces be damaged,

the appliance should not be operated until it has been re

paired by the AEG Service Centre or by an AEG-trained elec trician.

Page 5

4. Only use suitable ovenware.

5. When heating liquids, please always additionally place a tea spoon in the container to avoid delayed boiling. But it must not touch the walls. During delayed boiling, the boiling temperature is attained without the lypical steam bubbles rising. When the container is shaken, even only slightly, the liquid may then suddenly vigorously boil over or spurt - with the risk of your being scalded.

6. Food with a “skin" or “peel", such as potatoes, tomatoes, sau sages, and the like, should be pierced with a fork so that any steam present can escape and the food wilt not burst.

7. Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70 °C is attained for the cooking/heating of food. This will be achieved if you follow the instructions given in the cooking tables (time/

power). Never use a mercury or liquid thermometer for meas uring the food temperatures.

8. Babyfood 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. Before giving your child the babyfood, please check the temperature.

9. Please note that, at high power and time settings, the

ovenware heats up. Please therefore use protective mittens suitable for handling pots ans pans.

10. Do not leave the appliance to operate unattended if

food is to be warmed or cooked in disposable contain ers made of plastic, paper, or other inflammable mate rials. Should smoke be observed the oven door must be

kept closed and the oven switched off or else discon nected from the power supply.

11. Never use your microwave oven:

■ to boil eggs or escargots in their shells, since they will otherwise bursti

■ to heat large quantities of cooking oii (fondue, or deep-frying) and drinks containing a high percent age of alcohol - there is a danger of spontaneous combustioni

■ to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc.

to dry animals, textiles, and paper.

■ for crockery (porcelain, ceramics, earthenware, etc.) having voids that fill with water and which may cause vapour-pressures to build up during cooking.

Please follow the respective manufacturer’s in

structions.

Safety instructions for the user

Page 6

Safety 12. Use your appliance only as instructed and as indicated

instructions in the “Cooking tables”. Never overcook your food by exces-

for the user sive lengths of time or at excessive power settings.

Specific areas of the food will otherwise dry out and may ig nite.

13. Should the power cable fitted to the appliance be damaged, it must be replaced with an identical one. This work may only be carried out by the manufacturer’s staff or by qualified electricians who have been trained by the manufacturer.

14. The viewing window heats up in combined operation, surface grilling, infratherm grilling and in hot-air oper ation, so keep small children well away from the appli ance.

15. To close the oven door when the viewing window is

hot, piease press the trapezoid plate on the lower right-hand side of the door.

16. Only pre-heat the oven prior to operation in the modes sur face grilling, infratheim grilling, or hot-air. Never in combined operation or micro-wave solo.

17. The interior, the grill loops, and the removable shelves be come very hot during operation, except during micro-wave solo operation. Please take care before taking hold!

AEG electrical appliances comply with all relevant safety

regulations. Never, ever use the micro-wave oven if it is no

longer functioning properly. In order to maintain the safety of your appliance, you may oniy have repairs, particularly to the live parts of the appliance, carried out by a qualified

electrician trained by the manufacturer. In the case of any

defect or breakdown you must therefore contact your

electrical dealer or our Service Centre direct. If repairs are

carried out improperly, the result can be serious danger

for the user. The interior lighting in the cooking space can

oniy be replaced by the AEG Service Centre or by an AEGtrained electrician.

What’s also important:

To familiarise easily and quickly with the operation of the microwave oven, please use the “Cooking Tables" section.

Cooking time depends on the quantity of food. As a guide:

Double Quantity = Almost Double Time

Please refer to the Tables. Initially always select the shorter cook ing time. Only when necessary extend the time as required.

How to cook by time and power

Page 26

General hints

on cooking,

heating,

and

defrosting

Food comes in different qualities and is prepared in different quantities, therefore the times and amounts of energy necessary for defrosting, heating or cooking are different.

Standing

time

Cooking:

Defrosting:

The standing time referred to'in the "Cooking tables" means; Allow the food to stand without power i. e. inside or outside the

appliance, to ensure that the heat in the food is uniformly distribut ed.

Practical hints on working with microwave appliances

Wherever possible, cook in a covered container. Only if crust is required or is to be retained should you cook food in uncovered containers. After switching off your appliance, allow the food to

stand inside for some minutes (standing time).

Refrigerated or frozen foods require a longer cooking time.

Foods containing sauces should be stirred from time to time.

Vegetables:

Cook vegetables with firm consistency, such as carrots, peas, and cauliflower, with a little water. Cook vegetables with soft con sistency, such as mushrooms, peppers, and tomatoes, without liquid.

Meat:

Place frozen, unpacked meat on an inverted plate in a glass or porcelain container so that the meat juice can drain. Turn during the defrosting period. When the defrosting period has elapsed, the pieces of meat need

a differently long standing time depending on consistency.

Butter, pieces of layer cake, cottage cheese:

Previously remove aluminium foil packaging. Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but leave to adjust outside.

Ready meals

Ready meals in metal packages or plastic containers with metal lids should be heated or defrosted in your microwave oven only if

they are explicitly marked as being suitable for microwave

use. Please follow the operating instructions printed on the packages (remove the metal lid and prick the plastic foil). Important: Metal objects must be placed at least 2 cm away from the cooking space walls and door.

The times stated here are for guidance only, as the time needed for roasting, grilling, and over-baking is palicularly dependent on the nature and quantity of the mix and the result being aimed for. The figures in the table apply if the oven is cold \when the mix is placed in it. Turn meat or fish over after only half the time so that both sides are evenly cooked and brown. Flat slices and pieces only need to be turned over once, round pieces several times. Use the round wire tray and for cooking use high-sided open ovenware such as Jena glass.
