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 IEE wiring regulations and carried out by a qualified
CORGI engineer, from an authorised distributor.

A little smoke and some odour may be emitted when the appliance is 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 hob and two electric ovens; the lower oven has a fan and the upper
oven is a conventional 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 grill is situated in the roof of the upper oven. Refer to the diagram (See Fig. 10) to
familiarise yourself with the cooker and refer to the relevant section for the fan oven,
conventional oven, grill and gas hotplate etc.

Your cooker is supplied with the following accessories:
3 oven shelves

1 grill shelf
1 large roasting tin
1 grill pan
1 grill rack
1 baking tray

The following loose parts are also packed with the appliance:
4 pan supports (cast)

2 spillage wells (cast)
5 burner caps
4 burner heads
1 handrail assembly
1 splashback assembly
1 fitting kit
4 burner skirts
4 gaskets

APPLIANCE

YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPTA WAY FROM THE APPLIANCE AS SOME SURFACES
CAN BECOME HOT TO TOUCH.

z During use the appliance can become hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating

elements inside the oven.

Deep Fat Frying

z Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
z Never fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil.
z Never leave fat or oil unattended during the heating or cooking period.
z Never use a lid on the pan.
z IMPORTANT: Oil is a fire risk, do not leave pans containing oil unattended.
z In the event of fire cover with a lid and turn OFF the appliance.

Do not attempt to extinguish the fire using water.
Smother the flames on the hotplate, rather than attempting to remove the pan to the

outside.
Burns and injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up the burning pan to carry

outside.

SETTING UP THE COOKER FOR USE

23

DESN 513503Fig. 12

Before the fan oven can be used, it will be necessary to set the ‘time-of-day clock’
This is a 24-hour clock, and when the power supply is initially switched on, or after an interruption

in supply, the clock will show 12.00 and the LED bar 4 will flash above the sign.

SETTING THE TIME OF DAY

1. Whilst the LED bar 4 is flashing, press the plus + and/or minus - buttons until the display
shows the correct time of day.

2. After 5 seconds, the bar 4 will stop flashing.

The setting can be altered at any time by using the MODE button until the LED bar 4 flashes and
pressing plus the + and minus - buttons.

The cooker is now ready for use.

z The hotplate has four gas burners:

front left - ultra rapid (wok) burner - rated at 4.5 kW (whole burner) and 1.0 kW for the
inner burner

rear left - semi-rapid burner - rated at 1.75 kW
rear right - rapid burner - rated at 3.0 kW
front right - rapid burner - rated at 3.0 kW

z The semi rapid burner is especially suited for use with small pans and gentle simmering

or poaching.

z All burners have a set simmer position and are easily adjustable.

TO USE THE HOTPLATE

z To light a hotplate burner: push in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the large

flame symbol , and hold in for 3 seconds until the burner lights, then turn the knob to
the required setting.

z If the burner flame should accidentally go out, turn off the burner control and do not

attempt to re-light the burner for at least one minute.

z The control may be set towards a lower position, simply by turning the control knob

towards the small flame symbol.

z IMPORTANT: The cast iron p an support s on the appliance are much heavier than those on

most gas hotplate cookers, therefore care must be taken when removing or re-fitting
them to the hob. It is important that they are lifted from the appliance and not dragged
across nearby enamelled parts which would result in damaging the enamel.

.

GAS HOTPLATE

24

SOME SAFETY POINTS

z Simmering aids such as mesh mats are not recommended. They can impede burner

performance, damage the pan supports and waste fuel.

z Commercially available foil spillage aids are unnecessary on this cooker and could effect

the combustion.

z Some ‘Wok’ cooking pans are unstable. Check with the ‘Wok’ manufacturer before

purchasing.

z Do not use unstable and mis-shapen pans (e.g. with convex bases) that tilt easily.
z Pans and kettles with concave bases should not be used.
z The minimum pan diameter recommended is 120mm.
z Place all pans centrally over the burners. The flames must be on the base of the pan. Do

not allow the flames to go up the sides of the pan. (See Fig. 13).

z Always position pan handles away from the front of the cooker - out of reach of small

children.

z NEVER leave a chip pan unattended.

NOTE

Aluminium pans may cause a metallic marking on the pan supports. This will not affect the
durability of the enamel. The appliance warranty does not cover mis-use of the pan supports.

25

THE GRILL

z THE GRILL COMPARTMENT DOOR MUST BE KEPT OPEN WHEN THE GRILL IS ON.

z CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children

should be kept away.

z When operating the grill, the cooling fan should also come on, blowing a jet of cooling air

out of the slots above the grill door. If the fan fails to operate correctly, it is important that
the grill is not used until the fault is corrected.

z The very high speed instant grill is divided into two areas to save energy and to suit

individual grilling needs.

z Turn the grill control clockwise and the whole of the grilling area can be used for large

amounts of food. Turn the control anti-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 For best results pre-heat at a high setting for approximately 5 minutes.
z Food should be cooked on the rack or in the base of the grill 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 The oven side panels are self cleaning.
z The grill pan can be stored in the base of the grill compartment, when the grill is off.

The following information is for guidance only as shape, thickness, size of food and personal
taste can vary.

General

z The ovens and grill compartment are fitted with side and back self cleaning panels. The

roof of the fan oven is also self-cleaning enamel.

z There are two shelves in the fan oven and one in the conventional oven. They are designed

to be non-tilt.

z 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. (See Fig. 17A& 17B).

z Do not place the grid shelf, or food, directly on the base of the fan oven.
z Pre-heat the ovens at the appropriate settings until the neon light goes out.
z For effective heat distribution, leave a gap of no less than 12mm between the dishes and

the sides of the oven.

z Do not use tins or trays which are larger than the one supplied with the cooker.
z When using the conventional oven always make sure that the door is fully closed to

prevent the control knobs from over-heating.

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.

Cooking Hints

z Shelf positions are counted from the bottom.
z Put dishes in the centre of the shelf.
z When using the fan oven, reduce conventional oven settings by 10ºC - 20ºC and in some

cases, cooking time by up to 10 minutes for every hour.

z It is important to check that food is piping hot before serving.
z You can change the setting and cooking times to suit your tastes.

32

OVEN COOKING GUIDE

z The upper oven is a conventional oven which means that the heating elements are in the sides of the oven

compartment. The oven is slightly hotter towards the top than at the bottom.

z The cooking charts are a general guide but times and temperatures may vary according to individual recipes.
z The meat section timings should be used as a general guide but may vary according to the size, shape of joint on or

off the bone.

z Thaw frozen joints thoroughly before cooking them.
z The times are for open roasting. If covered allow extra time.
z The turkey/chicken is cooked when the juices run clear when pierced with a skewer. If the juices are still pink continue

to cook, checking every 15 minutes.

z The four shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards. Use the cranked shelf when cooking large joints of

meat and poultry.

z The grill shelf which has positioning stops for the grill pan, may be used as a conventional shelf. Take care when placing

and removing cookware within these stops.

z The lower oven which is a fan oven, has four shelf positions. The air is circulated to create an even temperature

throughout. In most cases food requires a lower oven temperature when cooked in ovens by approximately 10ºC ­20ºC.

z The cooking charts are a general guide but times and temperatures may vary according to individual recipes.
z The meat sections should be used as a guide but may vary according to the size, shape of joint on or off the bone.
z Thaw frozen joints thoroughly before cooking them.
z The times are for open roasting. If covered with foil allow extra time.
z The turkey/chicken is cooked when the juices run clear when pierced with a skewer. If the juices are still pink

continue to cook checking every 15 minutes until juices run clear.

containing detergent, and a nylon washing­up brush. Resistant stains require the oven
to be run at 210°C for 2 hours.

DO NOT USE ANY CLEANING MATERIAL
WHICH MAY CLOG THE PORES OF THE
SPECIAL COATING e.g. PASTES AND
POWDERS, SOAP FILLED PADS WIRE
WOOL, SPRAY CLEANERS, BRUSH-ON
