  • Page 23: Cleaning And Caring For Your Cooker

    Surfaces that require cleaning are: Enamelled Top and Front Plate The easiest way to clean the AGA top plate and front plate is to mop up spills as they happen. Baked on food is more difficult to clean but can usually be removed with proprietary vitreous enamel cleaners or mild cream cleaners using a cloth, or if necessary, a nylon scouring pad.
  • Page 24 Avoid the use of excessive water. DO NOT use oven cleaners, scouring pads and abrasive powder for cleaning plastic knobs. A wipe with a damp cloth should be sufficient. IMPORTANT: AGA recommend Vitreous Enamel Association approved cleaners for cleaning vitreous enamel surfaces of this product.
