Veelgestelde vragen - EX30LF AEG

Kan ik diepvriesmaaltijden in aluminium bakjes ontdooien of opwarmen in mijn magnetron?

Ja, mits het bakje niet dieper is dan 2 cm en het deksel verwijderd is. Zorg voor een minimale afstand van 2 cm tussen het bakje en de ovenwand. Het voedsel wordt dan alleen van boven verwarmd.

Waarom koelt voedsel uit de magnetron sneller af dan conventioneel bereid voedsel?

Vaak wordt hetzelfde koude bord gebruikt om het gerecht in te verwarmen. Het koude bord onttrekt warmte aan het voedsel. Verleng de verwarmingstijd met ongeveer 1 minuut om dit te compenseren.

Waarom ontstaat er vocht in de magnetron tijdens en na het koken?

Het vocht in het voedsel wordt tijdens het verhitten omgezet in stoom. Deze stoom condenseert op de koele oppervlakken van de magnetron. Dit is normaal en geen reden tot zorg.

Zijn magnetrons duur in gebruik?

Nee, magnetronkoken is zeer zuinig. U bespaart ongeveer 70% energie bij koken en tot 90% bij opwarmen in vergelijking met conventionele methoden.

Wat gebeurt er als ik de magnetron leeg laat draaien?

Laat de magnetron nooit leeg draaien. Bij onbedoeld kortstondig gebruik treedt er geen schade op, maar langdurig leeg draaien kan de magnetron beschadigen.

Welke keukengerei kan ik gebruiken in de magnetron?

Gebruik ovenvast glas, glaskeramiek, stevig porselein zonder metalen randen, magnetronbestendig plastic, papieren bekers en borden. Geen metalen schalen of aluminiumfolie (behalve kleine stukjes om vleugelpunten af te dekken).

Hoe stel ik de klok in op de AEG EX30LF?

Druk op de ON-knop (I), daarna op de tijd-van-de-dag-knop (B). Gebruik de knoppen (E) om de uren en minuten in te stellen (bijv. 16:30). Druk nogmaals op (B) om te bevestigen. Schakel uit met OFF (K).

Hoe gebruik ik de voedselvoeler?

Steek de voeler in het dikste deel van het vlees. Sluit de stekker aan in de oven. Selecteer de gewenste temperatuur met knoppen (E) en het vermogen met de schuifregelaar (F). Druk op start. De oven stopt automatisch wanneer de temperatuur is bereikt. Verwijder de voeler na gebruik.

Hoe vervang ik de binnenlamp?

Voor vrijstaand model: schakel uit en trek de stekker eruit. Schuif de kookgids naar links en til op. Draai de metalen plaat. Vervang de lamp (E14 220/240 V/25 W max.). Monteer in omgekeerde volgorde. Voor inbouwmodel (TL 13 W): raadpleeg de afbeeldingen in de handleiding.

Wat moet ik doen als de magnetron niet werkt?

Controleer of de stroom aan staat, of de zekeringen werken en of de deur goed gesloten is. Als het probleem aanhoudt, neem contact op met AEG Service. Vermeld het modelnummer (E.-Nr. en F.-Nr. op het typeplaatje).

Microwaves, what are they?

Microwaves are electromagnetic energy like ordinary daylight or radio waves, the only difference being the wave length.

Radio waves are broadcast through the air around us, and travel great distances; when received by a radio, the energy they carry is converted into sound. Microwaves are broadcast inside the cooker and can travel only short distances.

When they are received by the food, energy they carry is converted into heat.

The waves are alternately positive and negative, and act as magnets on the water molecules in food.

This attraction and repulsion makes the molecules vibrate, causing friction which produces heating and thus, ultimately, cooking of the food, exactly as it happens when you rub your hands.

Cooking Guidelines

The cooking guide on the appliance and the charts (pages 14–17) are general guidelines, for recipes and further details refer to the cookbook.

Golden rules for safe and successful operation

1. Do not operate the oven when it is empty. Place food in the oven first, then switch on the oven.
2. Keep the oven clean, particularly around the door seals.
3. Take care not to damage:

the door
■ the doors hinges
■ the door seals and sealing surfaces.

Avoid unnecessary strain on the door and take care not to trap anything between the door and the frame!

1. Do not operate the microwave oven when it is not functioning properly. Contact AEG Service to have the oven checked by a trained service engineer to avoid any damage.
2. Only use cooking utensils suitable for microwave cooking or specifically developed microwave oven cookware. See further details on page 13.
3. When heating drinks or water in cups or glasses place the container in the centre of the oven. Put a metal or heat-resistant plastic spoon in the container to prevent excessive boiling.
4. Eggs in shells cannot be cooked in the microwave oven as they will burst.
5. Do not heat large quantities of oil (fondues or deep fat frying) in the microwave oven.
6. Do not heat any closed or sealed bottles, tins etc. in the microwave oven.
7. Refer to the cooking guide on the appliance and the charts on pages 14-17 for cooking information.

How to cook with time, variable power and the food sensor/temperature

The cooking guide on the appliance is a general reminder. For more detailed information please see the charts on pages 14-17.

Cooking time

The cooking time depends on the quantity of food to be cooked. For example, one cup of soup will be heated in one minute, whereas five cups require five minutes. Reason: the oven has to provide five times the energy which means that it has to work five time as long. See guidelines in the charts on pages 14-17.

Variable power

The amount of heat required to cook, heat or defrost food will vary according to the texture and quantity of food to be cooked.

The variable power enables you to increase or decrease the amount of heat similar to the various settings you have on your conventional cooker.

The settings on your microwave oven are given in % (percentage).

Highest setting 100% = 700 Watts.

On setting 50% the oven cooks on half the power (350 Watts).

Generally, cooking is started with 100% power and finished with reduced power (70%-20%).

To heat food settings between 30–80% are used. The defrost setting is 30%.

The charts on pages 14-17 provide guidelines how to use the various settings.

Cooking with temperature

The food sensor takes the guesswork out of cooking, heating or warming various foods. When the food sensor probe is located in the food and the plug inserted in the plug socket in the oven, the oven cooks by measuring the internal temperature of the food you have selected.

After the set temperature has been reached the oven automatically switches off the microwave power.

The food sensor enables you to cook for instance beef to "medium" time after time without the risk of overcooking it and on the other hand it ensures that you roast pork is cooked through completely.

Allow food to stand for 5 to 10 minutes after it is taken from the oven for the heat to equalise.

How to cook with time, variable power and the food sensor/temperature

Cooking hints

To ensure best results large items such as joints, poultry, etc. should be turned halfway through the cooking cycle.

Thin items cook more quickly than thick ones.

Small amounts give better cooking results.

Vegetables cook better when covered with a lid or clingfilm. When using clingfilm, pierce to allow steam to escape.

Refrigerated or frozen foods need longer to cook.

Place foods in the centre of the oven.

Casseroles, stews, soups, sauce etc. should be stirred occasionally to ensure fast and thorough heating.

The best policy is to undercook, taste or check the food and then if necessary, to cook further.

Allow the food to stand for a while after cooking for the heat to spread evenly through the food.

Setting and changing the clock

To set the clock after the oven has been plugged in or after a power cut or to change the time of day follow the instructions below.

When set, the time of day will always be displayed unless a cooking function is in progress. To check the time of day during cooking push button B – the time will be displayed for 3 seconds.

The correct utensils

Figure 18

Ovenproof glass or glass ceramic oven dishes are the most used. These dishes allow microwaves to pass through directly to food. Dishes will remain cool unless cooking is prolonged, causing hot food to heat the dish.

Glass, sturdy china and pottery serving dishes can also be used. These should not have silver, gold, platinum or other metal trims which will be damaged by the microwaves.

Diswasher-safe plastics, usually quite rigid material can be used provided they can withstand the temperature of the food being cooked.

Hard plastic trays, picnic ware and bowls, may be used for heating but not for cooking food. To cook food in plastic utensils use specially developed microwave cookware.

Paper cups, plates, towels, wax paper and paper cartons can be used for heating.

Prolonged time in the oven can cause paper to burn. Greaseproof paper can be used as a covering during cooking.

Metal dishes and foil reflect microwaves and inhibit cooking and should not be used in a microwave oven.

Exceptions:

Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to cover, for example wing and leg tips when cooking poultry to prevent overcooking.

It is most important that no metal or foil touches or comes close to the walls of the oven (minimum gap 2 cm).

Foil trays with ready-made meals can be used to heat the food provided they are not deeper than 2 cm and the lid is removed.

Figure 16

Microwave Browning Dishes

Special microwave browning dishes have been developed to aid the browning process when cooking meats with very short cooking times. The base of the browning dish is coated with a special material which will get very hot during pre-heating of the empty dish. The hot base will ensure a browning effect on small food items such as steaks, hamburgers, chops etc.

The pre-heating time depends on the type of food to be cooked.

Microwave Browning dishes No. E 611899644 and E 611899662 are available from your local AEG microwave oven stockist.

Cleaning, Maintenance and Replacement of the cooker interior lamp

Cleaning of the appliance

Cleaning must be carried out with the power supply to the microwave oven switched off.

Use a mild detergent e.g. washing-up liquid, lukewarm water and a soft cloth to clean the interior and exterior surfaces and food sensor.

Do not use chemical or abrasive compounds to clean any part of the cooker.

Odours inside the cooker can be eliminated by placing in it a cup of water with lemon juice added, and boiling the mixture for a few minutes.

Note: If the door seal has been damaged or is broken do not use the cooker, have it checked by a qualified AEG engineer or AEG appointed service agent.

Questions and answers

Question:

Can I defrost and re-heat ready-made meals in foil containers in my microwave oven?

Answer:

Yes, if the container is not more than 2 cm/3/4" deep. As microwaves are reflected by metal the food can only be heated from the top. To ensure that food is heated thoroughly without overcooking the surface, the max. depth of the dish is 2 cm/3/4".

Make sure that the clearance between metal container and oven wall is at least 2 cm/3/4".

Question:

Food cooked in a microwave oven seems to cool down faster the conventionally cooked food. Why?

Answer:

Often the dish used to store the food in the refrigerator is used to heat the food in the microwave oven. The cold dish will absorb heat from the food and it may be necessary to increase the time by 1 minute of compensate for the cold dish.

Question:

What is the reason for the moisture in the microwave oven during and after cooking?

Answer:

The moisture in the food turns to steam as it is heating. The steam is condensed on the cool surfaces of the microwave oven and the resulting moisture is quite normal and no reason for concern.

Question:

Are microwave ovens expensive to run?

Answer:

No. Microwave cooking is very economical. You save approx. 70% energy for cooking and up to 90% energy for re-heating using a microwave over as opposed to conventional cooking methods.

Question:

What happens if the microwave oven is operated when it is empty?

Answer:

Do not operate the oven when it is empty. However, if it is switched on by mistake for a short period of time no damage will occur to the magnetron.
