ON / OFF button
Simmering Oven
This oven delivers a gentler convected heat making it better
suited for longer cooking times especially for overnight
cooking, for example rich fruit cakes and celebration cakes.
The cooking of meringues may also be better suited for this
oven.
Warming Oven
The Warming Oven is the perfect staging area for foods prior
to serving. Safely rest meats prior to cutting.
Keep freshly baked pies warm before serving and store
tableware, ensuring plates are temperate while serving your
meal.
Warming Plate
The aluminium (16
1
/4 ” H x 141/8 “ W) Warming Plate is perfect
for keeping food warm prior to serving. When using your AGA
to serve food, buet style, the warming plate alleviates the
need for a chang dish. Keeping your food temperate and
free from drying out.
NOTE : These ovens vent into the room, mechanical venting
to the outside is not available.
Points to remember when using your Simmering Oven:
• Pre-heat the ovens for 40 minutes before starting to
cook.
• Bring casseroles, soups etc. to the boil on the Total or
Dual Control hotplate or start meat in the roasting oven,
before placing in the simmering oven.
• Make sure casseroles have sufficient liquid, particularly
when cooking over a long period.
• Use lids on casseroles or foil to cover food while cooking
to retain moisture.
• Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before
preparing food.
• Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.
You can also produce crisp, white meringues in the oven.
Timing for cooking in the simmering oven will depend upon
the temperature, quantity and type of dish you are cooking.
As a guide for casseroles, a minimum of 2 hours cooking time
is recommended.
Keep an eye on the food until you are familiar with the oven.
The simmering oven can be described as a continuation oven,
it continues to cook food that has been brought up to heat
elsewhere on the range with the exception of meringues
which are dried out rather than ‘cooked’.

Top Plate and Front Plate
The easiest way to clean the AGA top plate and front plate is
to mop up spills as soon as they happen. It maybe useful to
keep a damp cloth handy to do this. Baked-on food is more
dicult to clean but can usually be removed with vitreous
enamel cleaner or mild cream cleaners using a damp cloth,
or, if necessary a nylon scouring pad. If milk or fruit juice or
anything containing acid, is spilt on the range, wipe it up
immediately. Also clean o any condensation streaks on the
front plate around the oven doors or the vitreous enamel
maybe permanently discolored.
All that is usually needed to keep the vitreous enamel
surfaces of the range bright and clean is a daily rub over with
a damp soapy cloth followed immediately with a clean, dry
cloth to avoid streaks. The AGA E-cloths are excellent for this.
Remember the top plate and the polished covers will scratch
if pans or utensils are dragged across them.
Oven Door Linings
The best way to keep the linings clean is to wipe them over
after cooking so that splashes do not get baked on (being
careful when hot). Clean the linings when they are cool, the
range is o.
Oven door linings - the linings can be cleaned with hot soapy
water and / or a cream cleanser. To deep clean the linings,
place a towel on the work surface and carefully lift o the
oven door (doors are heavy) and place it enamel side down
on the towel padding. Clean with a soapy impregnated
pad to remove stubborn marks. Do not immerse the doors
in water as they are packed with insulating material which
will be damaged by excessive moisture. Needless to say, do
not put oven doors in a dishwasher! Dry o before carefully
replacing on their hinges.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE DOORS IN WATER AS THEY ARE
PACKED WITH INSULATING MATERIAL WHICH WILL BE
DAMAGED BY EXCESSIVE MOISTURE.
DO NOT PUT OVEN DOORS IN A DISHWASHER.
Hotplate
The hotplate is easy to care for, and regular maintenance will
ensure long-life. Should the hotplate become soiled, use a
sponge, cloth, to remove burnt-on spills. Rinse o detergents
or cleaning agents thoroughly.
DO NOT use caustic cleaners or oven cleaners.
PLEASE NOTE: Cleaners used for vitreous enamel are
often unsuitable for use on: chrome and stainless steel
