AEG MBE2658SEM user manual

To use the grill function on an AEG Micromat Combi microwave, follow these steps:
1. Press the "Grill" button on the control panel. The grill symbol should appear on the display.
2. Use the number pad to enter the desired grilling time. You can press the "+30 sec" button multiple times to increase the cooking time in 30-second increments.
3. If necessary, press the "Power Level" button to adjust the grill power. The default setting is usually the highest power level, but you can decrease it if desired.
4. Open the microwave door and place the food to be grilled on the included grill rack. Make sure the food is evenly spaced to allow for proper heat circulation.
5. Close the microwave door and press the "Start" button. The grill function will begin.
6. During the grilling process, you may want to monitor the food's progress and rotate it for even cooking. You can pause the cooking by opening the door, but remember to close it again to resume the process.
7. When the grilling time is complete, the microwave will give an audible signal. Open the door and use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves to carefully remove the grilled food from the microwave.
Note: Always refer to the user manual specific to your AEG Micromat Combi microwave for detailed instructions, as the exact steps might vary slightly depending on the model.

There could be several reasons why your AEG microwave is not heating. Some possible causes and solutions include:
1. Faulty door switch: If the door switch is not working properly, it may not allow the microwave to start heating. Check if the door is closing properly and if the switch is damaged or misaligned. Replace the switch if necessary.
2. Malfunctioning magnetron: The magnetron is the component that generates microwave radiation for heating. If it is not functioning properly, the microwave will not heat. It may need to be replaced by a professional technician.
3. Defective high voltage diode: The high voltage diode converts the incoming electrical power into the appropriate voltage for the magnetron. If the diode is defective, it may prevent the microwave from heating. Test the diode using a multimeter and replace it if necessary.
4. Faulty capacitor: The capacitor stores electrical energy for the microwave's components. If it is defective, it may not provide enough power for heating. Test the capacitor with a multimeter and replace it if needed.
5. Burnt-out or faulty fuse: Microwaves have a fuse that protects the unit from power surges and electrical problems. If the fuse is blown, the microwave will not heat. Open the microwave's casing and check the fuse with a multimeter. Replace it if it is blown.
6. Control board issues: The control board manages the functions of the microwave, including heating. If it is malfunctioning, it may prevent the microwave from heating. Inspect the control board for any visible signs of damage and consider replacing it if necessary.
If you are unsure or unable to diagnose and fix the problem yourself, it is recommended to contact a professional technician or the manufacturer's customer service for assistance.
