Introduction

As responsible manufacturers we take care to make sure
that our products are designed and constructed to meet the
required safety standards when properly installed and used.
Your new AGA gives you everything you love about the AGA
heat storage cooker, but with the added convenience that
the two hotplates can be turned on or off, as required.
Refer to the diagram in the Overview chapter to familiarise
yourself with the product and refer to the relevant sections
for the ovens, plates, controls etc.
Made in the heart of Shropshire, your AGA cooker, like the
generations of cookers before it, has been manufactured
from cast iron. Traditional iron-making skills combined with
industrial strength hotplate elements enable the hotplates
to heat up rapidly, so you can have them both on, or just one
on, depending on the time of day or the size of your family.
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.
Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for
additional ventilation, for example, opening of a window, or
more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
Installation must be to local and national wiring regulations
and carried out by a qualified engineer.
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.
