AEG 840E - Manual (Page 5)

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 (dan­
ger 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 indioated in the tables. Never overcook your food by excessive
times and excessive power settings (especially food with a high
sugar content). Speoific 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 require­
ments. Never use your microwave cooker if it no longer ope­
rates in a trouble-free manner. To ensure the safety of your
appliance, you should have repairs, especially on live parts, car­
ried out only by AEG trained electricians. In the event of a fault,
you must therefore contact your retailer or our service centre
direct. Improper repairs may place the user at serious risk (an
exception is given on page 100 under Cooking space lighting).
