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.
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
mode, DUAL GRILL mode and AUTO
COOK operation because they may melt.
