In this paper, a review is given of methods useful for XMM-Newton EPIC data analysis of extended sources, along with some applications to a bright massive cluster of galaxies at z=0.2, Abell 209. This may constitute an introduction to that kind of advanced analysis, complementing cookbooks that can be found over the internet, the XMM-Newton EPIC calibration status document (Kirsch, 2002), and the data analysis workshops organised in VILSPA, which were only dedicated so far to point sources analysis. In addition, new spectro-imaging techniques are proposed, in order to measure for instance the intracluster medium mass and temperature profiles, or even maps.
