Safety Instructions

1
The installation and connection of the new appliance must only be car-
ried out by a registered specialist.
Where damage occurs the warranty will not apply if this instruction has
not been adhered to.
The safety features of AEG electrical appliances comply with recognised
technical standards and the German law covering equipment safety.
However, as manufacturers we also believe it is our responsibility to
familiarise you with the following safety instructions.
General Safety
• Take care when connecting electrical appliances to sockets near to
the appliance. Do not allow connecting leads to come into contact
with hot rings or to catch beneath the hot oven door.
• Do not store inflammable objects in the oven. They may ignite when
the oven is switched on.
• For safety reasons cleaning the appliance with a steam jet cleaner or
high-pressure water cleaner is not permissible.
• Using force, especially on the edges of the front glass panel, may
break the glass.
• Caution: Risk of burning! Whenever you bake, roast or grill the oven
door becomes hot, as do the inner surfaces of the oven, heating ele-
ments and accessories. Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves and
take every care to avoid burns. For this reason keep children away
from the appliance at all times.
• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. Do not leave the appliance
unattended when cooking food in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
• Using ingredients containing alcohol in the oven may create an alco-
hol-air mixture that is easily ignited. In this case, open the door care-
fully. Do not have embers, sparks or naked flames in the vicinity when
opening the door. We recommend that you leave the cooked item in
the oven with the door closed and the oven turned off for about 10 -
15 minutes to cool.
• Repairs to the appliance may only be carried out by qualified spe-
cialists. Improperly effected repairs may result in significant risk to
the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer
service or your dealer.
• If the appliance malfunctions: remove fuses or switch off.
