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.

SIMMERING OVEN  
THE SIMMERING OVEN  
This is used for long, slow cooking over 6-8 hours, keeping food warm and warming plates for  
short periods.  
EXTRA CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN WARMING BONE CHINA - USE THE LOWEST  
SETTING.  
The slow cooking setting is the area marked between 225ºF - 250ºF on the oven control knob.  
USING THE SIMMERING OVEN SETTING  
Points to bear in mind when preparing food.  
z
z
Do not place dishes directly on to the oven base. Always place onto shelf supplied. See  
Fig. 17B.  
Push dishes well back in the oven to ensure that they are positioned over the element  
beneath the base plate.  
z
z
Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before preparing the food.  
All dishes cooked by the slow cooking method should be cooked for a minimum of 6  
hours. They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further 1-2 hours but marked deterioration in  
appearance will be noticed in some cases.  
z
z
Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at 350ºF for 30 minutes before transferring  
to the slow cooking oven.  
Meat over 2.7kg (6lbs) and poultry over 2kg (4lbs 8ozs) are unsuitable for the slow cooking  
method.  
z
z
z
z
z
Always stand covered joints on a rack over a meat tin, to allow good air circulation.  
Make sure that pork and poultry reach an internal temperature of at least 195ºF.  
This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and poultry.  
Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil before putting in the oven.  
When casseroles are used, cover the food first with foil and then the lid to prevent loss of  
moisture.  
z
z
z
z
Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.  
Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small pieces.  
Adjust seasonings and thickenings at the end of the cooking time.  
Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in day cooking  
sessions, where they can be observed from time to time.  
z
Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a minimum of ten minutes, after soaking, and  
before inclusion in any dish.  
STORAGE AND RE-HEATING OF FOOD  
z
If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container as quickly as  
possible.  
z
z
Thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.  
Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or in a hot oven 350ºF - 355ºF,  
and then serve immediately.  
z
Only re-heat food once.

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.

Aluminum burner heads (LHR, CF, RHR, RHF).  
Moving the Cooker  
The cooker is fitted with mobility rollers, two at the rear and two at the front.  
The 6-4 Series is designed to stand on a flat and level surface, however, any unevenness may  
be overcome by adjusting the four levelling feet, one at each corner of the base plate. The  
adjusting screws are accessed by removing left and right hand hotplate castings. To raise the  
cooker turn screw clockwise, to lower turn screw counter-clockwise.  
The rollers on the base of the cooker allow for positioning.  
When the cooker is in the correct position the four levelling feet can be adjusted to level the  
cooker. THE FEET MUST BE LOWERED ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE COOKER ROLLING  
OUT OF POSITION.
