4 Important safety instructions
Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than
a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the
removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts. Follow the
instructions for "Care & Cleaning" on page 34. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the
life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their doctor or the manufacturer of
the pacemaker for precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock
Under no circumstances should you remove the outer cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock openings or ventilation openings. In
the event of a spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately and call your local AEG
service agent.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Do not allow the power supply cord to run over any hot or sharp surfaces, such as the
hot air vent area at the top rear of the oven.
Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or allow anyone who is not authorised
by AEG to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult your dealer or contact your local
AEG service agent.
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.
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 for at least 20 seconds 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.
