Safety instructions For the installer The safety requirements oblige me to give the following instruc tions: When installing cooking appliances into kitchen furniture the en closed installation instructions must be strictly adhered to. For the user - When you use me to prepare your food, my oven doors and cooking plates become hot. Therefore keep small children well away from me. This especially applies when you are grilling or pyrolytically cleaning my oven (where applicable).

Oven Before using for the first time, refer to the section describing pre cleaning of the ovens. My oven is a multi-function oven which features conventional cooking with top and bottom heat, hot air cooking and two (three) grilling options. For further details consult the relevant sections in this booklet. My different cooking options Conventional electric cooking This method of cooking uniformly radiates heat from above and below.
Shelf levels The shelf positions feature 6 (4) levels, the cooking tables sup plied recommend the shelf position on which my oven will pro duce best results. Fat filter The fat filter supplied protects my fan against soiling. It must al ways be in place when: - I am used as a Hot Air oven |2 and meat is cooked in uncov ered containers (i. e. do not insert when baking!); - During Rotitherm roasting/grilling (on multi-function ovens only).
Decide which cooking method you want to use and select the ap propriate symbol on the cooking method selector, e. g., [5 for Hot Air. Then select the required temperature with the tempera ture control. The red thermostat light is on for as long as the oven is pre-heating. The thermostat light cycles on and off during oper ation, indicating heating periods.
With ■ Recommendations hot air I recommend hot air cooking for all types of baking. However, you may prefer cooked cheesecakes, all types of sponges, bread and rich fruit cakes cooked by the conventional meth od. When you use my hot air cooking system I can cook on sever al levels simultaneously. This saves time, is convenient and energy efficient. I can also cook different cakes at the same time for instance a Victoria Sandwich and a Bakewell Tart or a Madeira Cake with a Dundee Cake.
Baking on one or more levels You can bake on several levels simultaneously. Place cake tins centrally on the wire shelves to ensure even cooking results. Full width baking sheets and additional wire shelves are available as optional extras - see section “Optional Extras” in this booklet.
Roasting, Rotitherm roasting/ grilling and stewing in the main oven Cooking method ■ Choose the most suitable cooking method from my various options; Conventional top/botton heat Hot air Rotitherm roasting/grilling Where the attached cooking charts highlight shelf positions and temperatures in bold my oven may give you the better re sult when using this cooking method. However you may wish to experiment and decide for yourself which cooking method gives the best result.
Never use stainless steel ovenware in my oven, since it reflects the heat. Meat, poultry, and fish should be cooked in ovenproof dishes or in my meat pan for large quantities. Choose a dish which is just a little larger than the joint itself. This will contain any fat in a smaller area and reduce splashing. If you wish to roast potatoes in the same dish around the joint rather than in a separate one you need to make allowances for this when selecting a suitable dish.
Inserting/removing grill handle Warning! The handle must be removed whilst grilling. Failing to do so will result in overheating of the handle. This may cause damage leading to breakage of the handle. Inserting the handle Lock it into the grip at the front of the pan. See illustration. Make sure that the handle is firmly attached to the pan! Removing the handle Press the button on the handle. See illustration.
How to use the grill Prime cuts of meat such as steaks and chops or fish weighing less than 1 kg can either be fried or grilled. Salt large pieces short ly before grilling and small ones just after grilling. Turn meat/fish after half the grilling time so that both sides are uni formly browned. Turn thin pieces once; thicker pieces need turn ing more often. On appliances with a dual circuit grill [^, you should set the grill to grill symbol H for small amounts and to symbol for larger amounts.
Menu ■ My hot air oven is extremely versatile since you can cook a cooking complete meal in it. You can cook different foods at the same in my time, such as fish and cakes, without any transfer of smell or main oven taste from one to the other. ■ When menu cooking try to choose foods which require similar cooking temperatures. ■ When cooking meat in uncovered containers the fat filter must be inserted.
Bottling ■ For bottling, use only jars with rubber seals and glass lids, in the Never use jars with screw fittings or bayonet catches or metal main oven tins. And make sure you use fresh foodstuffsi ■ ■ ■ ■ 22 The oven holds 6 bottling jars of 1-1.5 litres capacity. Place 1 cup of hot water in the drip-pan so that the necessary humidity is retained in the oven. Position the jars in the enamelled pan on the 4th level from the top.
Food in flat aluminium containers defrosts especially well since aluminium is a good heat conductor. For freezing and subsequent defrosting of meat and vegetable dishes, flat alu minium containers should therefore be used. For defrosting uncooked frozen meat and fruit, closed ovenproof dishes are especially well suited. Position the containers on the wire shelf or in the meat pan 4th from the top. uo < Z) CD Food Temp. °C Time Flours/minutes Ready-made meals 1-4 portions) 200 0.40-0.
Cleaning and care These instructions refer to a large range of AEG double and single ovens. Ovens Ail secondary ovens have a catalytic roof panel as standard. The main oven has catalytio roof (except Vitratherm ceramic roof models), sides and back panels, either as standard or they are available as optional extras form your AEG retailer depending on the model you seleoted to buy (except ovens which include mi crowave).
Main oven If your oven has a catalytic root, sides and back panel either as standard equipment or it you have bought these parts separately and fitted them, then the following information will be of interest to you. The liners help to keep the oven cleaner as they clean themselves to a great extent during roasting and baking at temperatures above 200 °C. As cleaning may be improved by exposure to a higher temperature it may be necessary to run the oven at 250 °C tor 1 or 2 hours per week.
Removing the oven door Fully open the oven door. 1. Lift the door catch on both door hinges (see illustration). 2, Lift the door up and pull forward away from the oven (grip the sides - do not pull on the door handle!). Removing the oven door (main and/or secondary ovens) Replacing the oven door 1. Insert both brackets into the oven frame. 2. Fully open the door and return door catches to their work ing positions (see illustration).
Removing the shelf supports Shelf supports To clean the sides of the oven, the shelf supports (see illustra tion) can be removed. Pull the shelf support at the bottom, towards the centre of the oven and unhook from the top, Replace in reverse order. Fold down grill/top heating element in the main oven. My grill/top heating element can be folded down to facilitate occa sional cleaning of my oven root. Warningl Before you proceed ensure that the element is cold and all my oven controls are switched off.
The fat filter should be cleaned after every use. To remove filter, hold it by the handle and lift upwards. Place the fat filter in a saucepan, add approximately 2 tbsp. of automatic washing pow der or 1 tbsp. of dishwasher powder and cover filter with water. Bring to the boil and leave to soak for approx. 30 mins, or longer depending on the degree of soiling. Make sure the solution does not boil over as it could mark your hob. Rinse filter in clear water and dry.
