If the power supply cord of this
appliance is damaged, it must be
replaced with a special cord. The
exchange must be made by an
authorised AEG service agent.
1.6 To avoid the possibility of
explosion and sudden
boiling
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.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling
liquid and possible scalding:
• Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
• It is advisable to insert a glass rod or
similar utensil into the liquid whilst
reheating.
• Let liquid stand for at least 20
seconds in the oven at the end of
cooking time to prevent delayed
eruptive boiling.
Pierce the skin of such foods as
potatoes, sausages and fruit before
cooking, or they may explode.
1.7 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.
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.
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.
1.8 Other warnings
Never modify the oven in any way. 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.
1.9 To promote trouble-free use
of your oven and avoid
damage
Never operate the oven when it is
empty except where recommended in
the operation manual. Doing so may
damage the oven. When using a
browning dish or self-heating material,
always place a heat-resistant insulator
such as a porcelain plate under it to
prevent damage to the turntable and
turntable support due to heat stress.
The preheating time specified in the
dish’s instructions must not be
exceeded. Do not use metal utensils,
which reflect microwaves and may cause
electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the
oven. Only use the turntable and the
turntable support designed for this
oven. Do not operate the oven without
the turntable.
To prevent the turntable from breaking:
• Before cleaning the turntable with
water, leave the turntable to cool.
• Do not put hot foods or hot utensils
on a cold turntable.
• Do not put cold foods or cold
utensils on a hot turntable.
Do not place anything on the outer
cabinet during operation. Do not use
plastic containers for microwaving if the
oven is still hot from using the GRILL
