From now on, I should like to make boiling and baking more pleasurable for you. Not simply because of my attractive appearance, but also thanks to my “intrinsic qualities”. I am economical in terms of energy consumption, easy to operate, and simple to care for. If you carefully read and follow my operating instructions before first use, you are sure to experience a good deal of joy when using me to boil, bake, roast, and grill your food. 03/99 06/L L'H3I Contents Safety instructions For the installer 56 For the user 56-58 Appliance description Features 59 First use Operating the switches 60 Switching on the electronic timer 61/62 Precleaning the oven 62 Hobs Hob user protection 63 Features 64-67 General 68 Operating the hobs 69/70 Variable oven General 71/72 Fume extraction 73 Heating modes 74-76 Electronic timer for the oven 77-79 Switching on and off 80 Oven space divider 82/83 Baking 85-87 Baking by microwave 86/87 Roasting and steaming 88/89 Roasting and steaming by microwave 88/89 Flat grilling 90/91 Special preparation methods with hot air - Menu cooking 92 ■ - Bottling 93 Microwave - Defrosting 94-96 Cleaning and care Cooking area 97/98 Oven 98-102 Special accessories 103 What to do if... 104/105 Customer services 106 55 Safety instructions For the installer For the user The safety requirements oblige manufacturers to give the following instructions: For installation in a kitchen unit, my attached installation instructions must be noted. Introduction to microwaves What are microwaves? Microwaves are electromagnetic waves in a specific frequency range, such as daylight or radio waves, though with the difference that the wavelength is different. Radio waves are emitted into the atmosphere and can cover large distances. As soon as they reach a radio receiver, the energy received is converted into sounds. Microwaves are only emitted inside your appliance. When they reach the food, the energy received is converted into heat. The microwaves are alternately positive and negative and affect the water molecules of the food like a magnet. The very rapidly progressing polarity change of the microwave causes vibration of the molecules and thereby friction which heats the food from inside. This enables food to be cooked. The golden rules for trouble-free and safe working with your microwave cooker are: 1. Switch on the microwave only when food has been placed in the cooking space. 2. Always keep your cooker clean, especially in the vicinity of the door seals and door seal surfaces. 3. Never damage: ■ the door ■ the door hinges ■ the door seals and their surfaces ■ the door frame (e.g. never jam anything between door and frame) Clean the doorseals and their surfaces (also the doorframe) with a mild detergent and hot water. Note: Should the door seals and door seal surfaces be damaged, the cooker should not be operated until it has been repaired by the AEG Service Centre or by an AEG-trained electrician! 4. Only use suitable ovenware. You will find instructions on page 81. 5. When heating liquids, please always additionally place a teaspoon in the container to avoid delayed boiling. During delayed boiling, the boiling temperature is attained without typical steam bubbles rising. Even when the container is only slightly shaken, the liquid may then suddenly vigorously boil over or spurt. Risk of scalding! S11 2/89 GB/EU - SIB3-3 7/89 GB/EU 6. Food with a “skin” or “peel”, such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, and the like should be pierced with a fork so that any steam present can escape and the food will not burst. 7. Babyfood in jars or bottles should basically be heated without a lid or top and well stirred or shaken after heating to ensure uniform distribution of the heat. Before giving your child the babyfood, please check the temperature. 8. Please note that, at high power and time settings, the oven-ware heats up. Therefore use protective mittens suitable for handling hot pans. 9. Never use your microwave cooker: ■ to boil eggs in their shells, since they will otherwise burst! ■ to heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue, deep-frying) and drinks containing a high percentage of alcohol (danger of spontaneous combustion!) ■ to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc. ■ to dry animals, textiles, and paper ■ if no food has been placed in the cooking space. 10. Use your appliance only as instructed by the manufactu rer and as indicated in the tables. Never overcook your food by excessive times and excessive power settings (especially food with a high sugar content). Specific areas of the food will otherwise dry out and may ignite. Important note: When operating your microwave cooker, please always use the combination grid and suitable ovenware, such as heat-resistant glass containers or the ovenware from our range of accessories. You will find instructions on page 81. AEG electrical appliances comply with the valid safety requirements. Ne...
