Microwaves -
what are they?
Microwaves
belong
to
the
family
of
electromagnetic
waves.
These
waves
are
able
to
transmit
energy
like
radio
waves.
Microwaves
are
close
relatives
of
the
short
waves
known
in
radio
and
TV,
being
used,
not
to
transmit
music
and
TV
pictures,
but
to
cook
food.
During
the
cooking
cycle,
the
microwaves
penetrate
inside
the
food.
Without
any
intermediate
carrier,
they
generate
heat
below
the
surface
by
causing
the
food
molecules
to
vibrate.
The
heat
of
friction
thus
generated
propagates
through
the
food,
enabling
the
latter
to
be
defrosted,
heated,
and
cooked.
This is the basic difference between a microwave appliance and
conventional cooker. Cookers externally apply heat to the food
via heat flux (oven), heat conduction (hob), or heat radiation
(grill).
How quickly a microwave oven cooks food depends very strong-
ly on the quantity, quality, and shape of the food.
Since, during microwave cooking, heat is not uniformly generated
at all locations, it is important that the food to be heated is stirred
or turned when large quantities are being cooked.
Since this cooking method involves generation of heat inside the
food itself and not via an intermediate carrier (fat or water),
nutrient-conserving cooking is possible.
Vitamins and minerals are retained in the food and not swept
away as during conventional cooking.

Safety instructions
The
golden
rules
for
trouble-free
and
save
working
with
a
microwave
oven
1.
Switch
the
appliance
on
only
when
food
has
been
placed
in
the
cooking
space,
and
only
operate
it
when
the
turntable
is
inserted.
.
Always
keep
the
appliance
clean,
especially
in
the
vicinity
of
the door seals and door seal surfaces.
. Never damage:
= the door
= the door hinges
= the door seals and their surfaces
m the door frame
(e.g. never jam anything between door and frame)
Clean the door seals and their surfaces (also the door frame)
with a mild detergent and hot water.
Note:
Should the door seals and door seal surfaces be damaged,
the appliance should not be operated until it has been re-
paired by the AEG Service Centre or by an AEG-trained elec-
trician!
Only use suitable ovenware.
When heating liquids, please always additionally place a tea-
spoon in the container to avoid delayed boiling.
But it must not touch the walls.
During delayed boiling, the boiling temperature is attained
without typical steam bubbles rising. Even when the contain-
er is only slightly shaken, the liquid may then suddenly vigor-
ously boil over or spurt. Risk of scalding.
. Food with a “skin” or “peel”, such as potatoes, tomatoes, sau-
sages, and the like should be pierced with a fork so that any
steam present can escape and the food will not burst.
. Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70 °C is attained
for
the
cooking/heating
of
food.
This
will
be
achieved
if
you
follow
the
instructions
given
in
the
cooking
tables
(time/
power).
Never
use
a
mercury
or
liquid
thermometer
for
meas-
uring
the
food
temperatures.
.
Babyfood
in
jars
or
bottles
should
basically
be
heated
with-
out
a
lid
or
top
and
well
stirred
or
shaken
after
heating
to
en-
sure
uniform
distribution
of
the
heat.
Before
giving
your
child
the
babyfood,
please
check
the
temperature.
.
Please
note
that,
at
high
power
and
time
settings,
the
ovenware
heats
up.
Therefore
use
protective
mittens
suit-
able
for
handling
pots
and
pans.

Do
not
leave
the
appliance
to
operate
unattended
if
food
is
to
be
warmed
or
cooked
in
disposable
contain-
ers
made
of
plastic,
paper,
or
other
inflammable
mate-
rials.
Should
smoke
be
observed
the
oven
door
must
be
kept
closed
and
the
oven
switched
off or
else
discon-
nected
from
the
power
supply.
11.
Never
use
your
microwave
oven:

wave

Please
follow
the
respective
manu-
facturer’s
instructions.
12.
Use
your
appliance
only
as
instructed
and
as
indicated
in
the
“Cooking
tables".
Never
overcook
your
food
by
exces-
sive
times
and
excessive
power
settings.
Specific
areas
of
the
food
will
otherwise
dry
out
and
my
ig-
nite.
. Should the power cable fitted to the appliance be damaged,
it must be replaced with an identical one. This work may only
be carried out by the manufacturer's staff or by qualified
electricians who have been trained by the manaufacturer.
œ
AEG
electrical
appliances
comply
with
all
the
relevant
safety
regulations.
Never,
ever
use
the
microwave
oven
if
it is
no
longer
functioning
properly.
In order to maintain the safety of your appliance, you may
only
have
repairs,
particularly
to
the
live
parts
of
the
appli-
ance,
carried
out
by
a
qualified
electrician
trained
by
the
manufacturer.
In
the
case
of
any
defect
or
breakdown
you
must therefore contact your electrical dealer or our Ser-
vice Centre direct.
If repairs are carried out improperly, the result can be seri-
ous danger for the user.
The interior lighting in the cooking space can only be re-
placed by the AEG Service Centre or by an AEG-trained
electrician.

What's also important:
To familiarise easily and quickly with the operation of the micro-
wave oven, please use the "Cooking Tables” section.
Cooking time depends on the quantity of food. As a guide:
Double Quantity = Almost Double Time
Please refer to the Tables. Initially always select the shorter cook-
ing time. Only when necessary extend the time as required.
Food comes in different qualities and is prepared in different
quantities, therefore the times and amounts of energy necessary
for defrosting, heating or cooking are different.
The
standing
time
referred
to
in
the
"Cooking
tables"
means:
Allow
the
food
to
stand
without
power
i.
e.
inside
or
outside
the
appliance,
to
ensure
that
the
heat
in
the
food
is
uniformly
distribut-
ed.

Since, during microwave cooking with short roasting times or with | Special
very lean meat, no heavy browning of the food is achieved, spe- | browning
cial browning skillets and grill plates are obtainable from your | skillet
electrical retailer.
Browning skillets have a bottom coating which becomes very hot
when the skillets are preheated empty. The preheating time for
this skillet is variously long and depends on the required degree
of browning of the food concerned.
Caution: When working with browning skillet, the grid (ac-
cessory available from the AEG service centre) must absolutely
be inserted on the turntable (see illustration)!
