1.1 Care and cleaning

Door: To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and sealing surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass. Oven interior: For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed. Do not remove the waveguide cover. Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior. Heat up your oven regularly by using the grill. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke or a bad smell. Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the turntable and turntable support after use. These must be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch 󰘰re. Oven exterior: The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped o󰘯 with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel. Control panel: Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the control panel. Care should be taken when cleaning the control panel. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.34 www.aeg.com Turntable and turntable support: Remove the turntable and turntable support from the oven. Wash the turntable and turntable support in mild soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. Both the turntable and the turntable support are dishwasher safe. Rack: This should be washed in a mild washing up liquid solution and dried. The rack is dishwasher safe. IMPORTANT! Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits.

6.6 Cooking from frozen

7.1 Microwave safe cookware

Cookware Microwave safe Comments Aluminium foil/ containers 3 / 7 Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless speci󰘰ed by the manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully. China and ceramics 3 / 7 Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration. Glassware e.g. Pyrex ®

Care should be taken if using 󰘰ne glassware as it can break or crack if heated suddenly. Metal

It is not recommended to use metal cookware when using microwave power as it will arc, which can lead to 󰘰re. Plastic/polystyrene e.g. fast food containers

Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at high temperatures. Freezer/roasting bags

Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are suitable for microwave use. Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or catch 󰘰re due to the metal arcing. Paper-plates, cups and kitchen paper

Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be taken as overheating may cause 󰘰re. Straw and wooden containers

Always attend the oven when using these materials as overheating may cause 󰘰re. Recycled paper and newspaper

May contain extracts of metal which will cause arcing and may lead to 󰘰re.51 ENGLISH Microwave cooking advice Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to 󰘰re. Size For even cooking make all the pieces the same size. Temperature of food The initial temperature of food a󰘯ects the amount of cooking time needed. Cut into foods with 󰘰llings (e.g. jam doughnuts) to release heat or steam. Arrange Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish (e.g. chicken drumsticks). Cover Use vented microwave cling 󰘰lm or a suitable lid. Pierce Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode (e.g. potatoes, 󰘰sh, chicken, sausages). IMPORTANT! Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may explode, even after cooking has ended (e.g. poached, hard boiled). Stir, turn and rearrange For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre. Stand Standing time is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse equally throughout the food. Shield Warm areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which re󰘱ect microwaves (e.g. legs and wings on a chicken).
