GENERAL INFORMATION
As responsible manufacturers we take care to make sure that our products are designed and
constructed to meet the required safety standards when properly installed and used.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING WARRANTY.
Any alteration that is not approved by Aga could invalidate the approval of the appliance,
operation of the warranty and could affect your statutory rights.
In the interests of safety and effective use, please read the following before using your new Aga
appliance.
The use of gas on a cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room
in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated, keep the natural ventilation holes
open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional and/or more effective ventilation,
for example, opening of a window, or, increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where
present.
Installation must be to local and national wiring regulations and carried out by a qualified
engineer, from an authorized distributor.
A little smoke and some odour may be emitted when first switched on. This is normal and
harmless (from oven lagging and starch binder on the element insulation) and will cease after a
short period of use.
Your appliance has a gas hotplate, three electric ovens; the lower right hand oven is a slow
cooking (simmering) oven, the upper right hand (roasting) oven is a conventional oven.
The lower left hand (baking) oven is an electric fan oven. The fan behind the rear panel ensures
an even distribution of heat within the oven during cooking, ie. the temperature at the lowest shelf
position is the same as the temperature at the highest shelf position.
The electric broiler is situated in the roof of the top left hand compartment.
Refer to the diagram (See Fig. 10) to familiarize yourself with the cooker and refer to the relevant
section for the simmering oven, fan oven, conventional oven, broiler and gas hotplate etc.

BROILING OVEN
z
z
z
z
THE BROILING COMPARTMENT DOOR MUST BE KEPT OPEN WHEN THE BROILER
IS ON.
CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when the broiler is in use. Young children
should be kept away.
The very high speed instant broiler is divided into two areas to save energy and to suit
individual broiling requirements.
Turn the broiler control clockwise and the whole of the broiling area can be used for large
amounts of food. Turn the control counter-clockwise and the middle area only can be used
for small amounts e.g. 2 slices of bread, one or two chops etc.
z
Most food is cooked at a high setting but for thicker pieces of meat/poultry and for food
such as well done steak the heat can be reduced by turning the control down to a lower
setting.
z
z
For best results pre-heat at a high setting for approximately 2 minutes.
The broiler pan fits on the shelf supplied. The shelf is designed to lock in place, but is
removable for cleaning. See Fig. 17B .
z
Food should be cooked on the grid or in the base of the broiler pan. Some dishes can be
placed straight onto the shelf or floor of the compartment. This is useful when browning the
top of food such as cauliflower cheese.
z
z
The oven side panels are self cleaning.
The broiler can be stored in the base of the broiler compartment, when the broiler is off.
The following information is for guidance only as shape, thickness, size of food and personal
taste can vary.

THE OVENS
General
z
The ovens and broiler compartment are fitted with side and back self-cleaning panels. The
roof of the oven is also self-cleaning enamel.
z
z
The shelves are designed to be non-tilt.
To remove a shelf, lift clear of the side notches and slide forward. To replace a shelf, insert
into the oven with the short prongs at the rear, facing upwards. Slide into position above
the side notches then allow to drop down on the runner.
z
z
z
Do not place the grid shelf or food on the bases of the ovens.
Pre-heat the ovens at the appropriate settings until the neon light goes out.
For effective heat distribution, leave a gap of no less than 12mm (1/2”) between the dishes
and the sides of the oven.
z
Do not use a tray or tin greater than the one supplied with the cooker.
Condensation
Condensation forms when heat and moisture are present, for example during cooking.
Whenever possible try to make sure that the food which contains a lot of moisture is covered e.g.
casseroles. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up straight away.

OVEN COOKING GUIDE
Cooking Hints
z
z
z
Shelf positions are counted from the bottom.
Put dishes in the centre of the shelf.
When using the fan oven, reduce conventional oven settings by 50ºF - 75ºF and in some
cases, cooking time by up to 10 minutes for every hour.
z
z
It is important to check that food is piping hot before serving.
You can change the setting and cooking times to suit your tastes.
Deep Fat Frying
z
Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food.
This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
z
Always dry food thoroughly before frying and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen
foods in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added too quickly.
z
z
z
Never heat fat, or fry with a lid on the pan.
Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
The following chart gives a guide to cooking a number of every day items.
