Important safety instructions

To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling:

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off. Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:

1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.
3. Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.

Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.

Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

To avoid the possibility of burns

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.

Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns.

To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly.

Temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink; always check the food temperature.

Always stand back from the oven door when opening, to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.

Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.

Keep children away from the door to prevent them burning themselves.

Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings, accessories and dishes during GRILL mode, CONVECTION mode, DUAL mode,

AUTO COOK and AUTO COOK FROM FROZEN operation as they will become hot. Before cleaning make sure they are not hot.

To avoid misuse by children

Warning: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play with the oven or use it as a toy.

Children should be taught all important safety instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of food coverings; paying special attention to packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.

Other warnings

Never modify the oven in any way.

Do not move the oven while it is in operation.

This oven is for home food preparation only and may only be used for cooking food. It is not suitable for commercial or laboratory use.

To promote trouble-free use of your oven and avoid damage.

4. Press the START/QUICK button.

NOTE: If the power level is not selected, 900 W is automatically set.

What are microwaves?

Like radio and television waves, microwaves are electromagnetic waves.

Microwaves are produced by a magnetron inside the microwave oven, and these vibrate the molecules of water present in the food. The friction this causes produces heat, which ensures that the food is defrosted, heated or cooked through.

The secret of the reduced cooking times is the fact that the microwaves penetrate the food from every direction. Energy is used to the full. In comparison, the energy from a conventional hob passes from the burner through the pan and so to the food.

This method wastes a great deal of energy.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MICROWAVES

Microwaves penetrate all non-metal objects made of glass, china, earthenware, plastic, wood or paper. This is why the microwaves never make these materials hot.

Dishes become hot only because the food inside them is hot.

The food absorbs the microwaves and is heated.

Microwaves cannot pass through objects made of metal and so they are deflected. For this reason metal objects are not normally suitable for microwave cookery.

There are exceptions where you can actually make use of the fact that the microwaves cannot pass through metal. If you cover food with aluminium foil at specific points while it is defrosting or cooking, you can prevent those parts from getting too warm, too hot, or overcooked. Please check out the advice given in the guide.

This is what your new combination microwave oven can do

Microwave operation

By using the microwave facility in your new combination microwave oven you can, for example, quickly heat up ready-prepared meals or drinks, or melt butter or chocolate in no time at all.

The microwave oven is equally good at defrosting food. Sometimes, however, it is better to combine the microwave with convection heating or grilling (combined operation). You can then cook the food rapidly and brown it at the same time. Cooking times are generally much shorter than in conventional food preparation.

By combining two modes of operation the benefits of your oven are cleverly linked together.

You are able to choose between

• microwave + convection (ideal for joints of meat, poultry, puddings, bread and cakes) and
• microwave + grill (ideal for pizzas, snacks, quick fry-ups, joints, poultry, chicken legs, kebabs, Welsh rarebit and cooking au gratin).

Using the combination facility you can cook and brown food at the same time.

The advantage is that the convected heat or the heat from the grill quickly seals the pores in the outer layers of the food. The microwaves ensure a short and gentle cooking period. The juices are preserved inside the food and the outside is crisp.

Convection operation

You can also use convection without microwave. The result is like using a conventional oven. The circulating air quickly heats up the external parts of the food without drying up the meat juices and the foods. This sealing process means that the meals remain tasty and cook in a shorter time than with conventional ovens with upper and lower heaters.

Grill Operation

This appliance comes with a quartz grill above the cooking area. It can be used as a conventional grill without microwave. You can quickly bake or grill dishes. It's also suitable for steaks, chops and cakes.

Microwave cooking

Your oven can be programmed for up to 90 minutes. (90.00). The input unit of cooking (defrosting) time varies from 10 seconds to five minutes. It depends on the total length of the cooking (defrosting) time as shown on the table opposite:

Cooking Time: Increasing unit:

0-5 minutes 10 seconds

5-10 seconds 30 seconds

10-30 minutes 1 minute

30-90 minutes 5 minutes

Example:

To heat soup for 2 minutes and 30 seconds on 630W microwave power.

1. Rotate the COOKING MODE dial to the ≈ microwave setting.

2. Enter desired cooking time by rotating the TIMER/WEIGHT knob clockwise.

3. Press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button twice for 630 W microwave power.

4. Press the START/ QUICK button once to start cooking.

Check the display.

NOTES:

1. When the door is opened during the cooking process, the cooking time on the digital display stops automatically. The cooking time starts to count down again when the door is closed and the START/QUICK button is pressed.

2. If you wish to know the power level during cooking, press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button. As long as your finger is pressing the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button, the power level will be displayed.

3. You can rotate the TIMER/WEIGHT knob clockwise or counter-clockwise. If you rotate the dial counterclockwise, the cooking time will decrease from 90 minutes by degrees.

• Call an authorised AEG-Electrolux service agent. The interior light bulb can be exchanged only by an authorised AEG-Electrolux service agent.

... the food is taking longer to heat through and cook than before?

• Set a longer cooking time (double quantity = nearly double time) or
• if the food is colder than usual, rotate or turn from time to time or
• set a higher power setting.

IMPORTANT: If the display shows nothing even if the power plug is properly connected, the energy save mode should carry on. To release it, open and then close the oven door. See page 8.

NOTES:

1. If you cook the food over the standard time with only 900 W, the power of the oven will lower automatically to avoid overheating. (The microwave power level will be reduced).
