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

• When using other electrical appliances ensure the cable does not
come into contact with the hot surfaces of the oven.

• Do not store flammable substances in the oven. They could ignite
when the oven is switched on.

• For safety reasons do not clean the appliance with a steam or high
pressure cleaner.

• If force is used, especially on the edges of the front pane of glass, the
glass may break.

• 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 appliance 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 very carefully. When doing so, avoid having any hot embers,
sparks or open flames in the immediate vicinity.

• 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 your local AEG Service
Force Centre.

• In the case of the appliance malfunctioning: remove the fuses or
switch off the circuit breaker.

Operating Instructions

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 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.

• 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.

• Do not store moist food in the oven.

The main features of your appliance

• Mains Button: The entire appliance is switched on and off using the
mains button. This provides additional safety, if there are children in
the house, it is not possible to inadvertently switch on the appliance
via the individual switches. This feature also makes the appliance eas­ier to use as all functions are switched off by pressing one button.

• Safety cutoff: The unit has a safety cutoff facility. Both the oven
and the rings are automatically switched off after a certain time if
the position of the switch is not changed within a longer period.

• Child Safety Feature: In addition this appliance is fitted with a child
safety feature. As soon as the child safety feature is enabled, the oven
can no longer be inadvertently switched on.

• Electronic Oven Controller: The oven is controlled via an electronic
regulator, this enables the temperature to be set precisely. For addi­tional ease of use the controller automatically suggests a tempera­ture for each oven function you select.

• Electronically controlled automatic heating up: The Automatic
function of the ring switch automatically switches from the high
heating up setting to the selected low lower heat setting.

• Heat Protective Glazing: The panes of glass are ventilated from
below so that the oven door does not become too hot.

• Oven steam outlet: The oven steam outlet via the rear of the cook-
ing field ensures safe operation and a high level of cleaning comfort.
If there is an extractor hood installed, the steam is directed into it.
This prevents the unit getting dirty and eliminates unpleasant odours.

We recommend cooking with Automatic for:

• Dishes which are put on cold, which are heated at high power and

which do not have to be constantly observed at the lower heat set­ting,

• dishes which are fried continuously in the hot pan.

3

Cooking with Automatic is not suitable for:

• Goulash, beef olive and similar braised dishes which are browned,

moistened and braised until they reach the right degree of browning,

• dumplings, pasta dishes with large amounts of liquid,

• cooking with pressure cookers,

• large quantities of soups/stews with more than 2 liters of liquid.

Baking

For baking, use the PIZZA & BAKING, FAN COOKING or CONVENTIONAL
oven function.

1

Important! Do not use a fat filter when baking!

Cake Tins

• Cake tins made of dark metal and coated tins are suitable for CON­VENTIONAL

• Light metal tins are also suitable for PIZZA & BAKING or FAN COOK­ING.

Shelf Positions

• When using PIZZA & BAKING or CONVENTIONAL it is only possible to
bake on one level.

• Using FAN COOKINGyou can bake on up to 3 baking sheets
simultaneously:

1 Baking Sheet:
Shelf Position 3

1 Cake Tin:
Shelf Position 5

2 Baking Sheets:
Shelf Positions 2 and 5

3 Baking Sheets:
Shelf positions 1, 3 and 5

Operating Instructions

35

General information

• Please note that the shelf positions are counted from top to bottom.

• Insert baking sheets with the bevelled edge to the front!

• Slide the baking sheet to the rear wall.

• Always place cakes in cake tins in the middle of the shelf.

You can also bake two cakes simultaneously using PIZZA & BAKING or
CONVENTIONAL. In this case place the tins side by side on the shelf.
The baking time is then increased only slightly.

Notes on the Baking Tables

In the tables you will find information on temperatures, cooking times
and shelf positions for a selection of dishes.

• Ranges are given for the temperature and cooking time since these
are dependent on the mixture, quantity and cake tin used.

• When baking several cakes on baking sheets or in cake tins, the cook­ing time can be 10-15 minutes longer.

• Moist items ( e.g. pizzas & baking, fruit cakes, etc. ) should be cooked
on a maximum of two levels.

• When using for the first time, we recommend setting the lower tem­perature, and only if necessary, e.g. if increased browning is required
or the cooking time is too long, selecting a higher temperature.

• If you cannot find specific information for one of your own recipes,
use information on a similar recipe for guidance.

• Variations in the height of the item to be baked can lead to different
degrees of browning at the start of baking. In this case, please do
not change the temperature setting. Variations in the amount of
browning will even themselves out during baking.

2

Switch off the oven 10-15 minutes before the end of the cooking time
to make use of the residual heat.

The information in the tables applies, when not otherwise stated, for a

Tips on Baking

Tip

This is how to tell if your
cake is cooked through

Push a wooden skewer into the highest point of the
cake. When no more cake mixture sticks to the wood,
you can switch off the oven and utilise the residual
heat.

The cake collapses (is sticky,
not properly cooked through,
water marks)

Check your recipe. Next time use less liquid. Observe
mixing times, particularly when using kitchen appli­ances.

The cake is too light

Next time select a dark cake tin or place the cake one
level lower.

Cake with moist topping/cake
is not cooked through, is
unevenly browned

Next time bake at a lower temperature and
increase the cooking time.

Roasting

For roasting, use the ROTHITHERM or CONVENTIONAL oven function.

1

Important: Use the fat filter when roasting!

Ovenware for Roasting

• Any heat-resistant dish is suitable for roasting.

• In the case of dishes with plastic handles, ensure that the handles are

heat-resistant.

• Large roasts can be roasted directly on the fat tray or on the shelf
with the fat tray underneath (e.g. turkey, goose, 3-4 chickens,

3-4 knuckles).

• We recommend roasting all lean types of meat in a casserole with a
lid (e.g. veal, pork or beef pot roasts, frozen meat). This way the meat

will remain juicier.

• You can roast all types of meat that should have a crispy exterior in a
casserole without a lid (e.g. pork, meat loaf, lamb, mutton, duck,

1-2 knuckles, 1-2 chickens, small poultry, sirloin, filet, game).

• Tip: If you use dishes for roasting (particularly for small amounts), the
oven will not get so dirty!

Shelf Positions

• Please see the following table for the shelf positions to be used.

Notes on the Roasting Tables

Information is given in the table on suitable oven functions, tempera­ture settings, cooking times and shelf positions for various types of
meat. The cooking times are only for guidance.

• We recommend roasting meat and fish in the oven from a weight of
1kg.

• In general the CONVENTIONAL function is suitable for very lean meat,
fish and game. For all other types of meat (particularly poultry) we
recommend the ROTHITHERM function.

• The cooking time required is dependent on the type and quality of the meat.

• To stop juices that exude from the meat burning onto ovenware, we

recommend adding a little liquid in the roasting dish.

• Turn the roast after approx. 2/3 of the cooking time.

2

Switch off the oven 10-15 minutes before the end of the cooking time
to make use of the residual heat.

Bio-Functions

The low temperatures that can be set on this oven enable meat to be
cooked so that it is particularly tender and juicy, yoghurt can also be
made, dough proven and fruit dried in the oven.

1

Important: The suggested temperature must be changed for all
bio-functions!

2

When roasting at low temperatures you will save up to 20 percent
energy than when roasting conventionally.

Low Temperature Roasting

Use the ROTITHERM oven function for low temperature roasting.

1

Important: Use the fat filter when roasting!

Ovenware for Roasting

• Use the 4th shelf position from the top for low temperature roasting.

General information
Roasting is performed in 2 stages:

• Select a high temperature for browning.

• Then change to a lower temperature.

Notes on the Roasting Table

The roasting times are only for guidance and are dependent on the type
and quality of the meat or fish.

• The thicker and heavier a piece of meat, the longer the browning
time and subsequent final roasting time.

• It is necessary to turn whole poultry only.

• Only add vegetables after approx. 2/3 of the browning time.

• Once the browning time is at an end, do not open the oven door

again!

(Turn poultry before the end of the browning time.) The heat loss will
significantly increase the cooking time.

SERVICE

In the “What to do, if …” section a number of malfunctions are listed
that you can rectify yourself. In the event of a malfunction, look there
first.

Is it a technical malfunction?

Then please contact your customer service centre. (You will find
addresses and telephone numbers in the "Customer Service Centres"
list.)

Always take the time to prepare yourself for the call. By this means you
will make diagnosis of the problem easier and also make it easier to
decide if a customer service visit is necessary:

Please determine as accurately as
possible:

• How is the malfunction notice-

able ?

• Under what circumstances does

the malfunction occur?

Prior to the telephone call it is
imperative that you make a note of
the following appliance code num­bers that are given on the rating
plate:

• PNC Code (9 digits),

• S-No Code (8 digits).

We recommend you to record the code numbers here so that you
always have them at hand:

PNC . . . . . . . . .

S-No . . . . . . . .

When will you be charged, also during the warranty period?

• when you could have rectified the malfunction with aid of the Table

of Malfunctions (see “What to do, if ...” section),

• if the customer service engineer has to make several calls because he

was not given important information prior to his visit, and therefore,
e.g., had to fetch replacement parts. You can avoid multiple calls if
you prepare yourself well for the telephone call, as described above.
