Product overview The AGA R7 allows the user to operate the cooker as a traditional heat storage AGA, with the ovens on all the time whilst the hotplates can be turned on or off: • The Boiling plate 340°c (644°F) and the Simmer plate 240° (464°F) are controlled by mechanical thermostats to reach their target temperatures •...
Cooking zones Below is a picture showing the different cooking zones on the Aga R7. The hotplates are independently controllable using the control knobs located behind the top left hand control door. In the USA / Canada the simmering oven is called the slow cook oven.
The User Control Panel The Aga R7 has been designed so that it is simple to use. There is one control dial to operate the hot plates, and one control dial to operate the Roasting, Baking and Simmering Ovens and on the 5 oven R7 150 model there is one button to operate the hot cupboard.
The User control panel symbols for the ovens. Normal – for everyday use, maintains the ovens at a temperature suitable for roasting, baking and simmering in the respective ovens. 446 degrees F ( 230 degrees C ) Low – for reduced temperature cooking (50ºF lower than normal). To achieve the lower cooking temperature from normal, allow 2½...
Power supply connections. The Aga R7 range must be supplied with a 240v, 60Hz power supply and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker, at 240volts it has a maximum load of 30amps .Electric hook up must be done by a licensed electrician .The unit must be installed according to regional codes, or in the absence of codes, the National Electrical Code.

Boiling plate, Simmering plate or both. In each of the hotplates there is powerful heating elements. The Hotspot and Simmer spot elements are similar to the units used on the AGA eR7, but now consist of three internal single circuit elements rated at 2100W , 200W , 200W giving a factory selectable wattage of 2500W or 2300W.
The ovens are standard radiant heat ovens the heat source is a 1.75kw element, they work like a standard heat store Aga, and they can also be set to a low energy setting, which will reduce all of the oven temperatures of the AGA R7 cooker.
To gain access to the main terminal block and Oven PCB. Remove the bottom plinth at the base of the cooker, remove the screw on the right hand side of the tray and slide out the terminal block plate. This will then give you access to the main terminal block, from here we can check that the appliance is safely isolated from the electrical supply and start to carry out electrical fault diagnosis.
Removal and replacement of major components Oven heating element: To gain access and to remove the oven element, open the baking oven door and remove the two baffles in the roof of the oven, the element support plate will now be visible. Slide out and remove baking oven baffle Remove baking oven deflector plate.
Removal and replacement of major components Oven heating element: To gain access to the oven heating element remove control knobs and glass fascia by removing the 4 chrome caps and screws. Disconnect the wires from element terminal block, remove the blanking plug and the loose insulation from the conduit.
Working from inside the baking oven, slide out the baffle plates, then using a 4mm allen key, slacken but do not remove the rear screw from the element support plate, which forms part of the oven roof. Remove the other two screws and lower the plate and element as shown in Fig 2. It can be helpful to use a wooden block or something similar to temporarily support the assembly ( Figs 5 &...
Front Plate: To remove the front plate, remove the cooker doors and store safely, then undo the 3 securing nuts sited along the top length of the front plate, pull the front plate forwards and lift away from the base of the cooker, replace in reverse order.
To gain access to the thermostats and overheat thermostats The control panel glass is attached to the main chassis by 4 screws. Remove the chrome caps and the screws to gain access to the rear of the panel. Remove the ribbon connector attached to the oven selector PCB and store the glass panel in a safe place.
Oven thermocouple, oven overheat thermostat location. The oven thermocouple and overheat thermostat phials are mounted in the roof of the roast oven, they pass through a short guide tube and fix into clips on a bracket. When removing / replacing a thermocouple / overheat thermostat remove the phial location bracket (3 nuts), unclip the phial and carefully pull through from the where the controls are located, replace in reverse order.
Oven doors: Remember when refitting the oven doors to fit in the right configuration. The baking and simmer oven doors have a gap in the door rope seal whereas the roasting oven has no gap, the diagram below shows the configuration of the doors Page 19 of 26...
It is supplied fully assembled and electrically tested. Unlike the situation with a heat store Aga, the hot-cupboard does not need to be warm at all times. The owner chooses when they want the unit heated, simply by operating a push-button switch.
