OPERATING THE AGA

After the AGA has been Installed

When first switched on, the AGA will emit an odour for a short while. This is simply due to protective oil burning off the

hotplates. Wipe the inside of the lids whilst the AGA is heating up to avoid a film of this oil being deposited on the inside

of the lids. Also, condensation may occur on the top and front plate. This should be wiped away as soon as possible.

The following points are intended to help in adapting to the AGA style of cooking during the change-over from a previous

non-heat storage cooker. The AGA book provides a very useful introduction to the cooker.
For  most effective operation of the cooker, the following points should be carefully observed.
1. Close the insulating covers whenever the hotplates are not in use.

2. Clean the hotplates regularly with the wire brush.

3. Utensils with flat bases must be used to make perfect contact with the hotplate.

4. Take care when closing the oven doors, to lift them onto the catch.

5. Cook as much as possible in the ovens, so that heat is conserved and cooking smells and condensation are reduced.
The Roasting Oven can also be used for ‘grilling’ and shallow ‘frying’ on the oven floor. 
Keep the insulated covers down when the hotplates are not in use, so that the heat stored in the cooker is conserved.

l

For optimum cooking performance, use the AGA utensils and cast iron cookware. They have flat bases which give the

best contact with the hotplates.

l

The AGA pans can be stacked in the Simmering Oven. This is especially useful for steaming vegetables and keeping

sauces warm.

l

Store the Plain Shelf out of the AGA. Use it cold in the Roasting Oven to deflect the heat from the top of the oven, 

creating a more moderate oven temperature underneath. It can also be used as a baking sheet.

l

A guide to AGA cooking is given on Page 14. Ask the AGA Specialist for an invitation to an AGA demonstration
