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 hob, three electric ovens; the lower right hand oven is a slow cooking oven, the upper right hand oven is a conventional oven.

The lower left hand 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, grill and gas hotplate etc.

Your cooker is supplied with the following accessories: 5 oven shelves

3 spillage wells (cast) 6 burner caps 6 burner heads 6 burner skirts 2 burner rings 1 handrail assembly 1 splashback assembly 1 fitting kit 6 gaskets 2 beauty rings 2 spacer rings

1. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or other inflammable vapors and liquids near

a range cooker.

Child Safety

Children MUST be taught safe range practices to prevent possible injury . Listed below are some basic practices we recommend you read and follow for safe use of this appliance when children are present.

Children are more sensitive to heat than adults, therefore:-

1. Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the range cooker and discourage them

from this area.

2. Children should not be allowed to climb on any part of the range cooker.

3. Children MUST be taught that the range cooker and its utensils can be hot.

4. Children should be taught that the range cooker is not a toy. They should be forbidden to

play with the range cooker gas controls behind burner door or any other range cooker parts.

5. Let the heavy, hot utensils cool in a safe place but out of reach of small children.

CAUTION: AVOID STORING ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN IN ANY CABINETS INSTALLED ABOVE THE RANGE TO PREVENT THE RANGE BEING USED TO OBTAIN CABINET ACCESS AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.

Temperatures in cabinet storage spaces above the range may be unsafe for storage of some types of materials such as volatile liquids or aerosol sprays which can explode.

Ensure spare storage cabinets are capable of supporting the heavy weight of cooking utensils of the range.

The maximum depth of any cabinets installed above the top of the range must not exceed 330mm (13in).

Do not use the gas hob or electric broiler and oven to heat the room. In the event of prolonged power failure ensure broiler and electric oven controls are turned off. Always wear proper apparel - loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using

this appliance. Use only dry potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from

steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky clothes.

The hotplate has six gas burners:

front left - ultra rapid (wok) burner - rated at 6.0 kW rear left and front centre - semi-rapid burners - each rated at 1.91 kW rear right and front right - rapid burner - each rated at 3.22 kW centre rear - ultra rapid burner - rated at 5.0 kW

The semi rapid burners are especially suited for use with small pans and gentle simmering or poaching.

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

TO USE THE HOTPLATE

To light a hotplate burner: push and hold down the appropriate control knob and turn counter-clockwise to the large flame symbol , until the burner lights, then rotate the knob to the required setting.

In the event of the burner flame being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

The control may be set towards a lower position, simply by turning the control knob towards the small flame symbol.

IMPORTANT: The cast iron pan supports on the appliance are much heavier than those on most gas hob 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 adjacent enamelled components which would result in damaging the enamel.

Utensils handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

Pans and kettles with concave bases should not be used.

Glazed cooking utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Ensure the correct size utensil is chosen to prevent food boil over.

Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings - Grease from pans boiling over , may ignite.

GAS HOTPLATE

IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Simmering aids such as asbestos or mesh mats are not recommended. They can impede burner performance, damage the pan supports and waste fuel.

Commercially available foil spillage aids are unnecessary on this cooker and could effect the combustion.

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

Do not use unstable and mis-shapen pans (e.g. with convex bases) that tilt easily.

Pans and kettles with concave bases should not be used.

The minimum pan diameter recommended is 120mm (5”).

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. 12).

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

NEVER leave a fryer unattended.

NOTE

Aluminum 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.

SETTING UP THE COOKER FOR USE

Before you can use the lower left hand oven of the appliance 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 AUTO and 0.00 alternately.

SETTING THE TIME OF DA

1. Press and hold the MINUTE TIMER and COOK TIME buttons at the same time, (the word AUTO flashes and the 0.00 is displayed steadily) press the plus + or minus buttons until the required time of day is displayed. The time will increase/decrease from

12.00 hrs in minute intervals, slowly and then gaining speed. .

The cooker is now ready for manual use.

Fig. 14

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible.

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.

Only re-heat food once.

BROILING OVEN

z THE BROILING COMPARTMENT DOOR MUST BE KEPT OPEN WHEN THE BROILER

IS ON.

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

should be kept away.

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

individual broiling requirements.

z 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 For best results pre-heat at a high setting for approximately 2 minutes. z The grill 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 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 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.

FOOD SUGGESTED HEAT SETTING

Toast HIGH Bacon HIGH Sausage HIGH TO MED. Beefburger MED. as per packet instructions Steak med./rare HIGH TO MED. Chops HIGH TO MED. Fish - whole HIGH TO MED.

- steaks HIGH TO MED.

- fillets HIGH Chicken portions HIGH TO MED. Toppings i.e. meringue, HIGH potato, cheese etc.

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 The shelves 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.

z Do not place the grid shelf or food on the bases of the ovens. 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 (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.

THE OVENS

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 50ºF - 75ºF 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.

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 Never heat fat, or fry with a lid on the pan. z Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks of oil or fat. z The following chart gives a guide to cooking a number of every day items.

OVEN COOKING GUIDE

z The right hand upper oven is a conventional oven which means that the heating elements are in the top and under

the base of the oven compartment.

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 general guide but may vary according to the size, shape of joint on or off the

bone.

z Thaw frozen joints before cooking them. z The times are for open roasting. If covered allow for 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 Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards.
