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.

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.
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.
m
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
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.

MC 249
To instali the appliance in a hanging kitchen cabinet, use the
appropriate mounting frame.
Note the relevant Instructions for Installation and Connection.
The oven must be connected by means of a proper plug and pro
tected with a 16-A-L automatic or a 16 amp slow fuse.
When the oven is installed, there must be a possibility of discon
necting it from the mains with a contact break of at least 3 mm on all
poles.
A suitable size of LS switch, or a melting or fly-out fuse, are suitable
contact-breakers.
Before using my oven for the first time, clean all accessories, turn
table, turntable support etc., with warm water and washing-up
liquid.
