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

The golden rules for trouble-free and save working with a microwave oven

1. Switch the appliance on only when food has been
placed in the cooking space, and only 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:

■ the door

■ the door hinges

■ the door seals and their surfaces
u 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 typical steam bubbles rising. Even when the contain

er is only slightly shaken, the liquid may then suddenly vigor
ously boil over or spurt. Risk of scalding.

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 will 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 basically be heated with
out a lid or top and well stirred or shaken after heating to en
sure 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. Therefore use protective mittens suit
able for handling pots and pans.

Safety
instructions
for the user

Safety 10. Do not leave the appliance to operate unattended if

instructions food is to be warmed or cooked in disposable contain-

for the user 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:
B to boil eggs and escargots in their shells, since they

will otherwise burst!

B to heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue,

deep-frying) and drinks containing a high percent
age of alcohol (danger of spontaneous combus
tion!)

B to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc.
B to dry animals, textiles, and paper
B for crockery (porcelain, ceramics, earthenware,

etc.) having voids that fill with water and which may
cause vapour pressures to buiid up during micro-

wave cooking. Please follow the respective manu
facturer’s instructions.

12. Use your appliance only as instructed and as indicated

in the "Cooking tables”. Never overcook your food by exces
sive times and excessive po\wer settings.
Specific areas of the food will otherwise dry out and my 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 manaufacturer.

14. The viewing window heats up in combined operation

and when grilling, so keep small children well away
from the appliance.

15. If the viewing window is hot, please close the door by
pressing the trapezium-shaped plate on the lower
right-hand side of the door.

AEG electrical appliances comply with all the relevant
safety regulations. Never, ever use the microwave oven if
it is no longer functioning properly. In order to maintain the
safety of your appliance, you may only have repairs, par
ticularly 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 con

tact your electrical dealer or our Service Centre direct, if

repairs are carried out improperly, the result can be seri

ous danger for the user. The interior lighting in the cooking

space can only be replaced by the AEG Service Centre or
by an AEG-trained 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.

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.

I 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.

Cooking: 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.

Defrosting: 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.

Cleaning the

appliance

Cleaning and care

Cleaning should only be carried out when the appliance is un
plugged from the mains supply.

Use only mild cleaners i. e. washing-up liquid and hot water.
Clean your appliance inside and outside with a soft cloth. Never

use abrasive scouring agents.
You can neutralize odours inside the cooking space by boiling a
cup of water with a little lemon juice for a few minutes in your

oven.

verse.

If you think your microwave oven is not

functioning properly

Before calling the service centre, please check whether, on the
basis of the following hints, you can rectify the fault yourself.
If your microwave oven no longer works, check whether:

■ your appliance is plugged into the mains supply;

■ the fuses in the fixed wiring are in order;

■ the door is fully closed;

■ the start button is pressed.
If after you have made this check the microwave oven still does not
work, please call the AEG service centre or your retailer.

If after you have made these checks the microwave oven still does
not work, please telephone AEG Customer Sen/ice.

■ If you decide to call the Service Centre to help with any of the
above instructions or on grounds of faulty operation, the service

engineer's visit cannot be made free of charge even during the
guarantee period.

■ Therefore please take careful note of our instructions on the

operation of your microwave oven.

■ AEG electrical appliances comply with all the valid safety re

quirements, Repairs to electrical appliances should only be per
