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. Baked-on food is more difficult to clean but can usually be removed with the AGA vitreous enamel cleaner or mild cream cleaners using a damp cloth, or, if necessary a nylon scouring pad.
For continued efficient and safe operation of this part of the appliance, it is important that servicing is carried out at regular intervals as recommended by your AGA Specialist, once every 5 years. The cooker should be turned OFF by the user the night preceding the day of servicing so that the appliance will have cooled down by the following morning.
