Peculiar smells

When you rst use your cooker it may give o
an odour. This should stop after use.

Before using your cooker for the rst time,
make sure that all packing materials have been
removed and then, to dispel manufacturing
odours, turn all the ovens to 200°C and run for
at least an hour.

Before using the grill for the rst time you
should also turn on the grill and run for 30
minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed
fully back and the grill door open.

Make sure the room is well ventilated to the
outside air (see ‘Ventilation’ below). People with
respiratory or allergy problems should vacate
the area for this brief period.

Ventilation

• WARNING: Before removing replacing

the bulb, turn off the power supply and
make sure that the oven is cool.

• DO NOT use cooking vessels on the

hotplate that overlap the edges.

• ALWAYS allow the cooker to cool and then

switch it off at the mains before cleaning or
carrying out any maintenance work, unless
specified otherwise in this guide.

• DO NOT use the control knobs to

manoeuvre the cooker.

• NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

• DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth

in place of a glove – it might catch fire if
brought into contact with a hot surface.

• DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or

hotplate covers of any description. These
may affect the safe use of your hotplate
burners and are potentially hazardous to
health.

• NEVER heat unopened food containers.

Pressure build up may make the containers
burst and cause injury.

The use of a cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. Make sure that the kitchen
is well ventilated. Keep natural ventilation
holes open or install a powered cooker hood
that vents outside.

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance
may call for additional ventilation, for
example opening a window, or more eective
ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.

• WARNING: Use only hob guards designed

by the manufacturer of the cooking
appliance or indicated by the manufacturer
of the appliance in the instructions for use
as suitable or hob guards incorporated in
the appliance. The use of inappropriate
guards can cause accidents.

• DO NOT use unstable saucepans. ALWAYS

make sure that you position the handles
away from the edge of the hotplate.

3

• NEVER leave the hotplate unattended

at high heat settings. Pans boiling over
can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent fat

overheating beyond the smoking point.

• If flammable materials are stored in the

drawer, oven(s) or grill(s) it may explode
and result in fire or property damage.

• ALWAYS allow any cookware to cool

before cleaning.

• WARNING: Unattended cooking on a

hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and
may result in fire.

• NEVER leave a chip pan unattended.

• ALWAYS heat fat slowly, and watch as it

heats. Deep fry pans should be only one
third full of fat.

• NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat,

especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the
fat is cool. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spill over when food is added. If you
use a combination of oils or fats in frying,
stir them together before heating, or as the
fats melt.

• Foods for frying should be as dry as

possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully
watch for spills or overheating of foods
when frying at high or medium high
temperatures.

• DO NOT use the top of the flue (the slots

along the back of the cooker) for warming
plates, dishes, drying tea towels or
softening butter.

• DO NOT use water on grease fires and

never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the
controls off and then smother a flaming
pan on a surface unit by covering the pan
completely with a well fitting lid or baking
tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Induction care

• IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR

PACEMAKER AND IMPLANTED
INSULIN PUMP USERS: The functions

of this hob comply with the applicable
European standards on electromagnetic
interference. If you are fitted with a
pacemaker or implanted insulin pump and
are concerned please consult your doctor
for medical advice.

• When the hob is in use keep magnetic

items away, such as credit and debit cards,
floppy disk, calculators, etc.

• To fully utilise the power of your

induction hob and to ensure longevity of
performance, we recommend the use of
AGA Rangemaster Induction cookware.
If you decide to purchase an alternative
set of cookware for use on your induction
cooker, we would strongly recommend
that composite aluminium cookware
with steel inserts, example shown Fig. 1.3,
are avoided. This type of construction
can significantly reduce the lifetime and
performance of your induction cook top.

• Take care when touching the marked

cooking areas of the hob.

• Use adequately sized pans with flat

bottoms that are large enough to cover
the surface of the hotplate heating area.
The use of undersized pans will expose a
portion of the surface unit to direct contact
and may result in the ignition of clothing.

• DO NOT modify this appliance. This

appliance is not intended to be operated
by means of external timer or separated
remote-control system.

• Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for use on the warming zone;
others may break because of the sudden

change in temperature.

ArtNo.312-0001 Not cooking surface

ArtNo.312-0003 Moving pans

• Only certain types of stainless steel,

enamelled steel or cast iron cookware with
enamelled bases are suitable for induction
hob cooking.

• Take care NOT to scratch the surface when

placing cookware on the glass panel.

• Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for hotplate cooking; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature. NEVER cook directly on the
hob surface (Fig. 1.4).

• DO NOT leave the hob zones switched on

unless being used for cooking.

• DO NOT stand or rest heavy objects on the

hob. Although the ceramic surface is very
strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling object
(e.g. a salt cellar) might cause the surface
to crack or break (Fig. 1.5).

Fig. 1.3

Fig. 1.4 Fig. 1.5

Fig. 1.6

• WARNING: Should a crack appear in

the surface, disconnect the appliance
immediately from the supply and arrange
for its repair.

• ALWAYS LIFT cookware off the hob.

Sliding the griddle plate or pans may cause
marks and scratches (Fig. 1.6).

• Take care NOT TO PLACE HOT LIDS onto

the hob surface (Fig. 1.7). Lids that have
been used to cover a hot pan can “stick”
or create a “vacuum” effect to the Glass
Hob. Should this occur, DO NOT attempt
to lift the lid off the glass surface, this may
damage the glass. Instead slide the lid to
the edge of the hob surface and remove,
taking care not to scratch the hob surface.
Alternatively wait until the lid has cooled to
room temperature, the vacuum has been
released, then remove the lid by lifting it
from the hob surface.

ArtNo.324-0001 Steam burst

• Take care NOT to place metallic objects

such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on
the hob surface since they can get hot.

• We recommend that you avoid wiping

any surface unit areas until they have
cooled and the indicator light has gone off.
Sugar spills are the exception to this (see
‘Cleaning your Cooker’). After cleaning, use
a dry cloth or paper towel to remove any
cleaning cream residue.

• The ceramic surface should be washed

after use in order to prevent it from
becoming scratched or dirty. However, you
should clean the hob with caution as some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.

• DO NOT leave the hob unattended.

Care should be taken to not allow your
cookware to boil dry. It will damage your
cookware and Induction Glass Hob.

• After use, switch off the hob element by its

control. DO NOT rely on the pan detector.

Oven care

• When the oven is not in use and before

attempting to clean the appliance
ALWAYS be certain that the control knobs
are in the OFF position.

• Use oven gloves to protect your hand from

potential burns.

• Cooking high moisture content foods can

create a ‘steam burst’ when the oven door
is opened (
oven, stand well back and allow any steam
to disperse.

• The inside door face is constructed with

toughened safety glass. Take care NOT
to scratch the surface when cleaning the
glass panel.

Fig. 1.8). When opening the

• Accidental damage may cause the door

glass panel to fracture.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

Hob care

• NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on

the hob.

• DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or

sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.

• Make sure the shelves are pushed firmly

to the back of the oven. DO NOT close the
door against the oven shelves.

• DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover

shelves, linings or the oven roof.

• When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the

oven door open for longer than necessary,
otherwise the control knobs may become very
hot.

• DO NOT use the timed oven if the

adjoining oven is already warm.

• DO NOT place warm food in the oven to

be timed.

• DO NOT use a timed oven that is already

warm.

• Use dry oven gloves when applicable –

using damp gloves might result in steam
burns when you touch a hot surface.

Oven Shelves (dependant on model)

• DO NOT use the hob surface as a cutting

board.

• DO NOT leave utensils, foodstus or

combustible items on the hob when it
is not in use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans
containing oil).

• DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or

plastic containers on the hob.

• ALWAYS turn the control to the OFF

position before removing a pan.

• Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may

damage both the hob and pan.

Cooker care

As steam can condense to water droplets
on the cool outer trim of the oven, it may be
necessary during cooking to wipe away any
moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven
exterior by cooking vapours (Fig. 1.10).

Grill/glide-out grill™ care

• When using the grill, make sure that the

grill pan is in position and pushed fully in,
otherwise the control knobs may become
very hot.

To t the glide-out shelf, hook the front of the
shelf onto the runners as shown (Fig. 1.9). The
rear of the shelf should rest on the runners, in
front of the rear stop (Fig. 1.9).

Standard oven shelves can be tted by lining
up the shelf with a groove in the oven ladders.
Push the shelf back until the ends hit the shelf
stop. Lift the front so the shelf clears the stops,
then lower the front so the shelf is level and
push it fully back.

• DO NOT leave the grill on for more than

a few moments without the grill pan
underneath it, otherwise the knobs may
become hot.

• NEVER close the grill door when the grill is

on.

• Accessible parts may be hot when the grill

is in use. Young children should be kept
away.

Cooling fan

This appliance may have a cooling fan. When
the grill or oven is in operation the fan will run
to cool the fascia and control knobs.

• DO NOT put the griddle plate in a

dishwasher.

• NEVER use caustic or abrasive cleaners as

these will damage the surface.

Cleaning

• Isolate the electricity supply before

carrying out any thorough cleaning. Allow
the cooker to cool.

• The cooker should be kept clean at all

times as a build up in fats and other food
stuff could result in a fire.

• Clean only the parts listed in this guide.

• Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or

cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface,
be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.

• NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda,

caustic cleaners, biological powders,
bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners,
coarse abrasives or salt.

• DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning

pads or any other materials that will
scratch the surface.

• NEVER store flammable materials in the

drawer. This includes paper, plastic and
cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic
ware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids.

• DO NOT store explosives, such as aerosol

cans, on or near the appliance.

• DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning

pads, or any other materials that will
scratch the surface.

• DO NOT attempt to disassemble or clean

around any burner while another burner
is on, otherwise an electric shock could
result.

• DO NOT mix different cleaning products

– they may react together with hazardous
results.

• All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with

hot soapy water.

• Take care that no water seeps into the

appliance.

The Hob

Use only pans that are suitable for induction hobs. We
recommend stainless steel, enamelled steel pans or cast iron
pans with enamelled bases. Note that some stainless steel
pans are not suitable for use with an induction hob so please
check carefully before purchasing any cookware.

Pans made of copper, aluminium or ceramic are not suitable
for use on an induction hob. The kind of pan you use and the
quantity of food aects the setting required. Higher settings
are required for larger quantities of food.

Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, at bottoms
(Fig. 2.2). This allows the maximum heat transfer from the
hob to the pan, making cooking quick and energy ecient.
Never use a round-bottomed wok, even with a stand.

The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved
up when cold (Fig. 2.3). If you hold a ruler across the bottom
you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the
metal expands and lies at on the cooking surface.
