6. THINGS TO NOTE l In the event of an interruption of the electricity supply, the timer will reset itself to zero, and all programming will be cancelled. 7. AUTOMATIC COOKING It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared food is well within its use by date and that home prepared food is fresh and of good quality.
THE DUAL GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. USING THE GRILL 1. To operate the grill pop out and turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or anticlockwise for centre section only. 2.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. 1. To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. 1. 2. Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan. Ensure the handle is correctly located. The grill pan handle should be in place when grilling. 2. 3. To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan.
l Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking. l The food should be turned over during cooking as required. l When using the centre section grill, ensure food is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath the grill element. Note If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local AEG Service Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.
THE SECOND OVEN The second oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet and savoury flans or quiche. The second oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 80° - 100°C on the second oven temperature control. USING THE SECOND OVEN 1.
HINTS AND TIPS l All cooking should be carried out using shelf positions one and two. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. Shelf position 3 should be reserved for grilling only. l There should always be at least 2.5cm (1") between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally below the element.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5-10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés, etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first.
HINTS AND TIPS l Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards. l When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results. l When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time.
THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. For best results cook on one level. USING THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN 1. Pop out and turn the main oven function selector to Conventional Oven. 2.
HINTS AND TIPS l The middle shelf allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position. l The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.
OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

PIZZA FUNCTION This setting can be used for foods such as pizza where base browning and crispness are required. The top and lower elements operate in conjunction with the oven fan. USING PIZZA FUNCTION 1. Pop out and turn the main oven function selector to Pizza setting. 2. Pop out and turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. THINGS TO NOTE l The main oven indicator neon will turn on and off during cooking to show that the temperature is being maintained.
SPEEDCOOK Speedcook is ideal for quick preheating of the oven before selecting an alternative cooking function. It can also be used for cooking chilled and frozen convenience foods without the need for preheating. COOKING TIMES Cooking times for convenience foods should be the same or slightly quicker than those stated on the packaging. This may vary depending on the dish and the quantity of food being cooked. USING SPEEDCOOK 1. Pop out and turn the Function Selector to Speedcook.
THERMAL GRILLING Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven fan operate together, circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and turn food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill in the main oven with the oven door closed.
HINTS AND TIPS l l l l l l l l Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking. Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly onto the trivet in the grill pan if preferred.
DEFROSTING This main oven function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc. USING DEFROST FEATURE 1. Pop out and turn the main oven function selector to defrost setting.
l Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be thawed using the defrost function. l All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed thoroughly before cooking. l Always cook thoroughly immediately after thawing. l DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge once it has been cooled. l Care must always be taken when handling foods in the home.
HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD Care must be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods. 10. Cook meat thoroughly - use a meat thermometer if preferred, which penetrates the joint to check that the centre temperature has reached the required temperature (see table below). 1.
CARE AND CLEANING BEFORE CLEANING THE OVEN ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE OVEN DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. CLEANING MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives and scourers should also be avoided as damage will occur.
l CLEANING INSIDE THE OVENS The sides and back of the main oven and top oven compartment are coated with Stayclean enamel surfaces. The Stayclean surfaces inside the ovens should not be cleaned manually. See 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'. The vitreous enamel in the top oven / grill compartment base and fan oven base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
TO REMOVE THE INNER GLASS 1. Fully open the oven door. 2. Firmly grasp the rear edge of the inner glass panel with both hands. 3. Push the glass panel towards you until it clears the hinge location points at the rear. 4. With one hand, carefully lift the glass panel to disengage it from the location points under the handle. (With your other hand, hold the outer door to ensure it does not spring shut on removing the inner panel). Hinge location point Hinge location point 5. Close the oven door.
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE All removable parts, except the grill pan handle and telescopic runners can be washed in the dishwasher. Alternatively soak them in hot soapy water if heavily soiled. They will then clean more easily. The grill pan, meat tin, trivet and grill deflector may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid, wirework runners and oven shelves should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first will make cleaning easier.
