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.
Your AGA 60 is a compact cooker which combines the design
values and cooking principles of the traditional AGA with the
exibility to turn each cooking area o and on as you require,
thereby tting into your lifestyle beautifully.
The AGA 60 has been designed to have all the attributes of a
larger AGA within a small space.
Refer to the diagram in the Overview chapter to familiarise
yourself with the product and refer to the relevant sections
for upper oven, lower oven, grill, etc.
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 aect your statutory rights.
In the interests of safety and eective use, please read the
following before using your new AGA appliance.
Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for
additional ventilation, for example, opening of a window, or
more eective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
Installation must be to local and national wiring regulations
and carried out by a qualied engineer.
A little smoke and some odour may be emitted when rst
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.

Control panel
When switching on the AGA cooker for the rst few times,
there are two things you may notice, neither of which should
cause concern.
The AGA cooker will emit an odour for a short while, this is
simply due to the protective oil we put on the hotplate and
ovens burning o. Due to the newness in the rst couple of
hours, it is advisable to open the kitchen window while this
takes place.
Condensation may occur on the top and front plate whilst the
AGA cooker is heating up, caused by the insulation lagging
and starch binder on the element insulation drying out. The
condensation should be wiped away as soon as possible to
prevent staining the enamel.
Your AGA 60 has the external appearance of a classic AGA
heat storage enamelled cast iron cooker. However, it’s
exibility is almost unbounded because in place of a single
heat source each cooking zone has its own electrically heated
cast iron element (s). The separation of cooking zones, allows
a choice of control. You are able to select only the zones that
you want, or need, to use.
Cooker hoods and oven venting
It is recommended that this AGA is tted with a cooker hood
above it. The AGA venting system is located on top of the
AGA and is designed for venting the moisture from the ovens.
The cooker hood should be positioned not less than the
minimum height as recommended by the manufacturer, from
the top of the AGA.
The AGA 60 ovens are manufactured from cast iron, over a
period of time they will become individually seasoned.
However, the ovens will rust if high moisture content foods
are not covered (especially in the simmering oven) or
spillages are not cleaned up.
It is also not advisable to leave a full or partially lled
saucepan/utensils with high moisture content food in the
ovens when they are not in use.
To season the ovens a light vegetable oil is ideal (corn oil is
best), spray oil is recommended. Any stubborn stains can be
removed with the wire brush supplied.
Cleaning details can be found on “Cleaning & caring for
your cooker” on page 18.

General advice
Food should not be placed into any oven until it is up to
normal operating heat.
The oven doors should not be left open for long periods of
time during cooking and heating up.
Store the cold plain shelf outside the cooker. Use it cold in
the roasting oven to deect heat from the top of the oven,
creating a more moderate oven temperature underneath. It
can also be used as a baking sheet.
Warm up times
As the AGA works on the principle of storing heat, time is
required to gather that heat from the electric elements to
saturate the castings. We recommend to allow an hour heat
up time. The optional programmer is a great asset as it can
be set to get the top oven to its working heat, ready for you
to cook when you walk through the door.
The principle of heat storage means that the ovens and
hotplate are at a pre-set heat, the cooking areas are named
after their function rather than temperatures.
Using the zones of the AGA 60
The dierent zones of the AGA 60 cooker are described
individually, in the following pages.
The traditional AGA heat storage cooker is famous for the
gentle warmth it emits, with the AGA 60 you will get warmth
only when the cooker is on or warmth to a lesser degree
when only parts of it are on.
The hotplate
The cast iron hotplate is operated manually and is machined
at to give the best all-over contact with the AGA saucepans,
grill pan, frying pan and kettle.
The boiling plate setting is the hottest with the simmering
plate setting being cooler. It has electric elements embedded
into the cast iron which heat up in approximately 11 and 8
minutes respectively. The hotplate can be used completely
independently from the ovens.
The whole hotplate area can be used for cooking and several
pans can be accommodated on the plate at any one time. The
hotplate is set very slightly above the top plate to minimise
scratching as the pans are pulled to one side to simmer.
The chrome insulated cover is brought down over the
hotplate when it is heating up or not in use. When the
hotplate is ‘ON’ the insulated cover will be warm. We strongly
advise not to put anything such as kettles, saucepans or
baking tins directly onto the insulated cover because it will
show any scratches - invest in a chef’s pad to protect the
surface if the cover is to be used as a resting place!
Keep the hotplate clear of any burnt on food or crumbs
by brushing with the wire brush, supplied with your AGA.
Cleaning details can be found on “Cleaning & caring for
your cooker” on page 18.
Hotplate control
To operate the boiling plate setting turn the control knob to
the position and similarly to the for the simmer plate
setting.
The boiling plate setting
The hottest setting, the boiling plate setting is used for
boiling, grilling, stir-frying, making toast - indeed anything
that requires a high heat. Green vegetables keep their
colour when boiled quickly here, or use a steamer over the
saucepans to cook more than one vegetable at once.
When stir-frying or cooking anything that is inclined to splash
we would recommend using an AGA Splash Shield which will
protect the insulated cover from splatter, making cleaning
a doddle! Just wash the Splash Shield in hot soapy water or
place in a dishwasher between two dinner plates.
Please be advised the boiling plate setting is too hot to cook
food directly on it.
The simmering plate setting
The simmering plate setting is the cooler of the two settings
and so is used for recipes that require a lower heat such as,
making sauces, scrambling eggs, heating milk, slow frying,
simmering soups and root vegetables. In addition, it can
be used to cook on directly as a form of griddle - invaluable
for toasted sandwiches, quesadillas, drop scones, searing
scallops and even a non-fat fried egg! Slow cooked toast can
be made on the simmering plate setting, no need to use the
AGA toaster here.

The resting plates
The resting plates are useful when you wish to move a pan o
boil or to a lower temperature.
Take care when removing and replacing the cast iron
resting plates, as they are heavy. Ensure they are cold before
removing.
Removing resting plates
Insert lifting tool in recess at rear of resting plate. Lift up at
rear, the slide out carefully from the side, Fig. 3.2.
Replacement of resting plates
Replace resting plates carefully, as shown in Fig. 3.3.
The ovens
Your AGA 60 has two ovens which are pre-set at a dierent
heat, just like the traditional AGA heat storage cooker. The top
oven has two temperature settings one for the roasting and
one for baking.
Top Oven
• The roasting oven setting for high temperature cooking
• The baking oven setting for moderate temperature
cooking
• The simmering oven for long. slow cooking.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE DOORS
OPEN, SINCE THIS CAN CAUSE A LOCK-OUT.
Each oven has the same capacity, (able to t a 13kg (28lb)
turkey) and the traditional AGA heat-storage cooker
techniques can be used, such as stacking saucepans in
the simmering oven. This enables the steaming of root
vegetables, rice, steamed pudding, casserole, poaching fruit
all in the same oven leaving the hotplate free.
You can have one or two ovens on at their pre-set heat.
The ovens are made from cast iron, which cooks by a radiant
heat and this is the secret of the cooking excellence for which
the AGA cooker is renowned. An indirect radiant heat does
not dry food out, so it retains its natural moisture and avour.
