Heat Indicator
• The heat indicator above the Roasting oven door is
a guide to the stored heat within the AGA, and does
not directly relate to the Roasting oven centre oven
temperature.
• It has 3 sections black, silver and red.
• To obtain your preferred working temperature the
control knob can be adjusted slightly. Once set it is not
recommended to adjust on a regular basis. An AGA is
designed to work at an optimum setting.
• The optimum performance is usually achieved when
the indicator is showing a mid-way position in the silver
area.
• Since the purpose of the heat indicator is to show that
the AGA contains the full amount of stored heat it is
best to refer to it first thing in the morning or after a
period of several hours during which no cooking has
been done.
NOTE: IT DOES NOT INDICATE THE OVEN TEMPERATURE.

Automatic control

The setting of the thermostat control knob (alongside the
burner inner door) at No. 5 should normally ensure that the
cooker runs at the correct temperature, with the indicator on
or about the centre of the silver section of the heat indicator.
Any discrepancy can be resolved by marginally advancing or
retarding the knob to compensate - the higher the number,
the higher the temperature setting.
Once the correct setting has been confirmed, the control
will operate automatically to maintain the cooker at full
temperature and need not be altered.

Manual control

Without an electric supply to the control box, the burner will
operate continuously on 'Low Fire' . In the event of a power
failure, the burner can be switched to 'High Fire' by simply
moving the manual high fire lever on the top of the control
box Fig. 4.2 from RIGHT to LEFT and engaging it back in the
slot in the cover.
The lever should be returned to its normal position when
cooking is finished or when the power is restored.
The natural draught vapourising burner is designed to burn
commercial kerosene to the Current Issue of BS2869: Class C2
suitable for vapourising burners.
