Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety Instructions
The new appliance may only be assembled and connected by an
approved installer.
Please observe this instruction, otherwise the warranty will not cover
any damage that may occur.
The safety features of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, we
also consider it our obligation as a manufacturer to make you aware of
the following safety information.
General Safety
• Take care when plugging in electrical appliances near the appliance.
Mains cables must not be allowed to fall on hot rings and must not
be trapped under the hot oven door.
• Do not store inflammable substances in the oven. They could ignite
when the oven is switched on.
• Cleaning the appliance with a steam or high pressure cleaner is forbidden for safety reasons.
• If force is used, above all on the edges of the front pane of glass, the
glass may break.
• If fractures, cracks or splits appear in the cooking surface:
– switch off all cooking zones,
– switch off the fuse for the cooking surface,
– inform customer service immediately.
• When cooking, roasting and grilling, the oven door will become hot.
Therefore always keep small children away from the door.
• Overheated fat and oil can catch fire quickly. Please always stay close
to the cooking surface when preparing food in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
• If you use alcoholic ingredients in the oven, it is possible that an easily ignitable alcohol-air mixture might be produced. In this case open
the door carefully. When doing so, avoid having any hot embers,
sparks or open flames in the immediate vicinity. We recommend leaving the cooked food to cool in the oven with the door shut for
approx. 10-15 minutes after switching off the oven.
5
Operating Instructions
• Repairs to the appliance may only be performed by qualified service
engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If
your appliance needs repairing, please contact our Customer Service
or your specialist dealer.
• In the case of the appliance malfunctioning: remove the fuses or
switch off the circuit breaker.
Intended use
• This appliance must not be used for purposes other than that
intended, it must only be used for the cooking, roasting and baking
of food in the home.
• Only use the appliance to prepare food.
• Do not use the oven to heat the room.
In this way you avoid damaging your appliance
• Do not use the cooking surface for storage. In this way you will avoid
damaging the glass ceramic surface.
• If sugar or plastic comes into contact with the hot cooking surface
and melts, remove it immediately whilst still hot! If it cools, splits
may occur in the glass ceramic cooking surface.
• The glass ceramic cooking surface is insensitive to temperature shock
and very robust, however it is not unbreakable. Hard and sharp
objects, in particular, can damage the cooking surface if they fall on
it.
• Only use utensils with flat, smooth bases that are neither rough nor
burred. Otherwise permanent scratching may occur when the utensils
are slid.
• Do not place hot frying pans or saucepans on the cooking surface
frame and do not cover the cooking surface with protective foil.
• Do not place any pans or other items over the oven steam outlet in
the cooking surface frame.
• Do not place aluminium foil or plastic containers on the hot rings and
do not prepare food in aluminium foil or plastic containers on the hot
cooking surface.
• Do not line your oven with aluminium foil and do not place a baking
sheet 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. Spills are then easier to clean up
and do not become burnt onto the surface.
6
Operating Instructions
• Any drops of fruit juice that fall from the baking sheet will leave
spots that cannot be removed. Use the universal sheet for very moist
cakes.
• Never pour water directly into the hot oven. The enamel may be damaged.
• Do not sit on the open oven door/oven drawer.
• Do not store moist food in the oven.

Operating Instructions
Eco-Insulation
In the factory the oven is fitted with eco-insulation. This insulation has
been tested for pollutants by independent test institutes and categorised as harmless
2 Disposal
Disposing of the packaging materials
All materials used can be fully recycled.
The plastics are marked as follows:
• >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. as used for the outer wrapping and the
bags inside.
• >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. as used for the packing pieces, completely free of CFCs.
The cardboard is made from 80% recycled paper.
Disposal of old appliances
All old appliances must be correctly disposed of for environmental reasons. This is applicable to your previous appliance, and to your new
appliance when, one day in the future, it ceases to be used.
Warning! Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull
1
out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or
bolt catches, if fitted. By this means you will ensure that children
cannot be locked in the appliance when playing (There is a risk of suffocation!) or get into other dangerous situations.

Operating Instructions
Oven Functions
The following functions are available for the oven:
U Fan Cooking
Fan cooking is particularly suited to baking on several levels at the
same time.
Oven temperatures are generally 20-40 °C lower than for conventional
heat.
A ring heater and part of the bottom heat are used.
In addition a fan in the rear wall of the oven ensures that the hot air in
the oven is circulated continuously. The food is heated from all sides.
O Conventional
Conventional is suited to baking and roasting on one level.
Heat is supplied evenly from above and below.
I Rothitherm
Rothitherm is particularly suited to grilling or roasting larger pieces of
meat or game on one level. This function is also suited to gratinating
and browing.
The grill heater element and fan are used simultaneously.
14
R Fast Warm Up
Using the fast warm up auxiliary function you can very quickly preheat the empty oven for the above mentioned functions.
Several heaters are used simultaneously for the fast warm up function.
S Pizza & Baking
Using this function you can optimally bake cakes on one level.
In addition, this function is also suitable for dishes that require more
intensive browning and a crispy base. These include e.g. pizzas &
baking, quiche Lorraine, cheesecakes, etc.
Oven temperatures are generally 20-40 °C lower than for conventional
heat.
Conventional heat is used and the fan is also switched on.

to defrost., for example, flans, butter ice cream, bread, fruit or other
sensitive foodstuffs
With this function, only the fan is in operation without heating.
Before Using for the First Time
Initial Cleaning
Hob
0 Wipe the glass ceramic surface with a damp cloth and then rub dry to
remove any possible residues from manufacture.
Oven
Before using the oven for the first time, you should clean it thoroughly.
You can switch on the oven lighting to make cleaning easier.
0 1. Set the oven function switch to oven lighting L.
2. Remove all accessories and the side rails and clean with warm water
and washing-up liquid.
3. Also wash out the oven with warm water and washing-up liquid, and
dry it.
4. Wipe off the front of the unit with a damp cloth only.
Important: Do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaners! The surface
1
may be damaged.
Suitable Pans
By using the right pans you avoid damage to the appliance.
• The base should be as thick and flat as possible. Rough bases scratch
the cooking surface when slid.
• Pans made of cast iron or with rough edges and burrs can leave
permanent scratches.
Important: Avoid boiling pans dry! The bases could be irreparably
1
damaged in the process and the glass ceramic cooking surface
damaged.
