Safety instructions
For the The safety requirements oblige manufacturers to give the following
installer instructions;
For installation in a kitchen unit, my attached installation instructions
must be noted.
For the Introduction to microwaves
user 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. Micro-
waves 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 tea­
spoon 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!
