Ecologically 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.
Packaging materials (e.g. foil or styrofoam) can place children at risk.
Danger of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from childr en.
All packaging materials used are environment friendly and can be
recycled. 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
Old 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 . Check with
your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are
facilities in your area for recycling the appliance.

General
• 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, disconnect the power
supply and contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. 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 an AEG Service Force Centre. Repairs carried out by
unqualified personnel can place the user in severe danger. In the case
of any defect or breakdown, please therefore contact your local
electrical dealer or the AEG Service Force Centre

· Whenever heating liquid, please also place a teaspoon in the
container to avoid delayed boiling.
During delayed boiling, the boiling temperature is attained without
the typical steam bubbles rising. When the container is shaken,
even gently, the liquid may then suddenly vigorously boil over or
spurt - with the risk of scalding the user.
· 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.
· Do not use porcelain or ceramic crockery, or porous earthenware
(e.g. on the handles or unglazed bases) in your microwave as these
types of dishes can absorb moisture from the food as it is cooking.
This can cause vapour pressure to build up which could shatter
the dish.
Do not use your microwave oven for the
following :
· to boil eggs or escargots in their shells, as they will burst. Eggs
can be poached 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.

What else to note...
· Food comes in all shapes, sizes and textures.The quantities also vary. For
these reasons the time and amount of energy needed to defrost, heat or
cook will also vary. As a general rule :
Double the quantity/weight = nearly *double the time
* Please refer to the cooking charts.To be on the safe side, always select the
shorter cooking time.Then extend the time as necessary.
· Microwaves work by making the food heat itself up. Because of this, not
all areas of the food will be heated at the same time. When heating larger
quantities of food, it is particularly important to stir or turn them over.
· “Standing time” is referred to in the cooking charts. This is the time you
should leave the food to stand without power (either inside or outside the
appliance). This ensures even distribution of heat throughout the food.

Microwave only
In this mode, microwaves generate heat directly in the food.
This mode is highly suitable for warming, for example, ready
cooked food and drinks, the defrosting of meat or
vegetables, and for cooking food like fish and vegetables.
Grilling
Heat is generated by a grilling element set in the roof of the
oven. This is particularly suitable for toasting and grilling e.g.
steaks and sausages.
Using the CRUNCH function.
The CRUNCH function uses simultaneous microwave and grill
power, for example when preparing vegetable dishes and
pizza where a crisp and brown finish is desired.
Combination mode
The microwave mode can be used together with grilling.
Dishes will be cooked more quickly, whilst being crisp and
brown at the same time.

Cooking Charts and Tips
Practical tips for use
General
• After switching off your appliance, let food stand inside for a few minutes to
allow even heat distribution (standing time).
• Remove any aluminium foil or packaging containing metal before preparing the
food.
• Metal objects must be placed at least 2cm away from the cooking space walls and
door. Otherwise arcing can occur, resulting in damage to the appliance.
• Check food frequently when grilling, especially when using the high grill rack.
Cooking
• Whenever possible cook food covered. Only pastry dishes with crust should be
cooked uncovered.
• Refrigerated or frozen food require longer cooking times.
• Foods containing sauces should be stirred from time to time.
• Cook soft vegetables such as carrots, peas and cauliflower with a little water.
• Cook soft vegetables such as mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes without liquid.
• Increase cooking time by approximately 50% for larger pieces. Whenever possible,
cut vegetables into equal-sized pieces.
Defrosting of meat, poultry and fish
• Place frozen, unpacked meat on an inverted plate in a glass or porcelain container,
or use a sieve, so that the meat juice can drain.
• Halfway through defrosting, turn the food, dividing it where possible and
removing the pieces that have defrosted.
Defrosting of butter, pieces of layer cake and
cottage cheese
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but leave to adjust out-side. This will give a
more even result.
• Remove any metal or aluminium foil packaging and/or accessories before
defrosting
Defrosting of fruit and vegetables
• Fruit and vegetables that are to be used raw later should not be fully defrosted in
the appliance, but left to complete defrosting at room temperature outside the
microwave oven.
• Fruit and vegetables that are to be cooked immediately afterwards can be cooked
straight from frozen using a higher power level.
Ready made meals
• Ready made 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 (e.g. remove the metal lid and prick the plastic foil).

1. You can’t find cooking details for a
specific quantity of food.
2. The food is too dry.
3. The food is not yet defrosted,
heated through or cooked on
completion of programme time.
4. The food is overcooked on the
outside and undercooked in the
middle on completion of cooking
time.

food. Lengthen or shorten the cooking
time accordingly: Double quantity =
almost double time : Half quantity = half
time
Set a shorter cooking time or reduce the
microwave power output.
Select a longer programme time or a
higher microwave power setting. Note
that larger food will require a longer
time.
Next time, try a lower power setting for a
longer time. Stir liquids, such as soup,
periodically.

3 Cleaning and care
The Appliance Exterior
Wipe the front of the appliance using a soft cloth and a mild, warm detergent solution.
Do not use abrasive cleaning substances, strong detergents or coarse abrasive cleaning
materials.
Cooking area
The interior will remain in good condition for a long time so long as you don't use scouring
pads or rough abrasive materials. Use mild dishwashing liquid to clean the interior.
The grill heating element is built into the appliance and cannot be removed. The element may
be stained with spattered fat or oil while the oven is in use. Wait until the cavity cools down
and wipe off the spattered oil before the oven is used again. Stained grills may cause
unpleasant odours and smoke.
You can neutralise odours inside the cooking area by boiling a cup of water with a little lemon
juice for a few minutes in your oven.
Through normal operation, liquid may evaporate and condensation may occur. This is normal
and is especially noticeable when the room temperature is high and the humidity of the air is
low. After operation, be sure and wipe off the condensation with a soft cloth.
Turntable and Turntable support
Clean the turntable using washing-up liquid, or put it in the dishwasher. Clean the turntable
support with washing-up liquid.
This should be removed straight after each use and cleaned using washing-up liquid or in the
dishwasher.
Care of accessories
Place the wire rack and the Crunch dish in soapy water immediately after use so they may be
easily cleaned with a sponge. The Crunch dish is dishwasher safe. Do not use metallic
scourings pads or abrasive cleaners.

technician can repair the oven on his
first visit. This saves you any extra costs that might be incurred if the
technician has to make a repeat visit.
AEG Service
You can perform certain maintenance on your own; these operations
are listed in section «What to do if...». First verify the problem, then
look it up in the section. If you do not find the solution therein, then
please contact your Service Centre. Have all necessary information
handy; this way it will be easier for the technician to diagnose the problem
and determine whether or not he must make a service call.
Keep these numbers handy by recording them here :
E-Nr./
PNC____________________________________________________________
S-Nr_________________________________
If you decide to call the AEG Service Department to help with any of
the aforementioned problems on the grounds of faulty operation,
there will be a charge for the service technician’s visit, even during
the guarantee period. Please therefore follow the advice given in this
instruction book or any accompanying literature very carefully.
