Important instructions Recycling packaging and old microwaves Packaging Our microwaves are efficiently packaged to guard against transit risks. To respect the environment packaging has been reduced to its strictest necessity. Packaging parts (e.g. sheets, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep children away from these parts of the packaging.
• In the event of malfunction: contact your stockist or your AEG after sales service. If the area around the door and cavity or the flex or plug is damaged contact a specialist technician before using your microwave.
Safety instructions Microwaves • Heating drinks by microwave can cause a sudden and delayed gushing of boiling water. Also precautions should be taken when handling the container. You might get burnt. • Food with a 'skin' or a 'peel' like potatoes, tomatoes, sausages etc should be pierced with a fork to allow the steam that forms to evaporate and to prevent the bursting of foodstuffs.
Grill/convection oven • When using the grill (alone or in combination with the microwave), the glass of the door becomes very hot. Keep children away from the appliance. • The cooking compartment, the grill element, the rack, the tray and the turntable become very hot when the appliance is operating.
