1 Safety Instructions
The new appliance may only be assembled and connected by an
approved installer.
Please observe this instruction, otherwise the warranty will not cover
any damage that may occur.
The safety features of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, we
also consider it our obligation as a manufacturer to make you aware of
the following safety information.
General Safety
• Take care when plugging in electrical appliances near the appliance.
Mains cables must not be allowed to fall on hot rings and must not
be trapped under the hot oven door.
• Do not store inflammable substances in the oven. They could ignite
when the oven is switched on.
• Cleaning the appliance with a steam or high pressure cleaner is for-
bidden for safety reasons.
• If force is used, above all on the edges of the front pane of glass, the
glass may break.
• When cooking, roasting and grilling, the oven door will become hot.
Therefore always keep small children away from the door.
• Overheated fat and oil can catch fire quickly. Please always stay close
to the cooking surface when preparing food in fat or oil (e.g. chips).
• If you use alcoholic ingredients in the oven, it is possible that an eas-
ily ignitable alcohol-air mixture might be produced. In this case open
the door carefully. When doing so, avoid having any hot embers,
sparks or open flames in the immediate vicinity. We recommend leav-
ing the cooked food to cool in the oven with the door shut for
approx. 10-15 minutes after switching off the oven.
• Repairs to the appliance may only be performed by qualified service
engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If
your appliance needs repairing, please contact our Customer Service
or your specialist dealer.
• In the case of the appliance malfunctioning: remove the fuses or
switch off the circuit breaker.
