Cleaning And Caring For Your Aga - AGA C User Instructions

Store the Plain Shelf out of the AGA. Use it, cold, in
l
the Roasting Oven on a 2 oven AGA to deflect the
heat from the top of the oven thus creating a more
moderate oven temperature. It can also be used as a
baking sheet.
l The AGA Cake Baker can be used in the 2 oven AGA
for cakes needing over 45 minutes cooking.
Ask your Distributor for an invitation to an AGA
l
demonstration.
A guide to AGA cooking is given overleaf.

CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR
REMEMBER: BE CAREFUL OF THE HOT APPLIANCE.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS OR OVEN CLEANER.
DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER TO CLEAN THIS
COOKER.
AGA Enamel Cleaner and AGA Chrome and Stainless
Steel Cleaner are recommended.
Top-plate 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. If milk or fruit juice, or anything containing acid, is
spilt on the AGA, wipe it up immediately.
Also clean off any condensation streaks on the front-
plate around the oven doors or the vitreous enamel
maybe permanently discoloured.
All that is usually needed to keep the vitreous enamelled
surfaces of your AGA bright and clean is a daily rub over
with a damp, soapy cloth followed immediately with a
clean, dry cloth to avoid streaks. Remember the top-plate
and the chrome lids will scratch if pans or utensils are
dragged across them.
Insulating Lids and Oven Doors
The linings of the insulating lids and oven doors may be
cleaned with a cream cleanser or a soap impregnated
pad.
Open the lids and lift off the oven doors to allow them to
cool a little before cleaning. Do not, however, immerse
the doors in water as they are packed with insulating
material which will be damaged by excessive moisture.
Refer also to the Cleaning Section in the AGA Book.
AGA
Ovens and Hotplates
The cast-iron ovens help to keep themselves clean; they
merely need to be brushed out occasionally with a long-
handled stiff brush. The Simmering and Plate Warming
Ovens on the 4 oven AGA may be cleaned with a damp,
soapy cloth.
The wire brush is provided for cleaning the hot plates and
any burnt-on spills in the cast iron ovens.
Roasting Tins
The roasting tins should be cleaned in hot, soapy water,
soak if necessary, a nylon scouring pad can be used.
DO NOT place in the dishwasher or use other caustic
cleaners.
DO NOT USE ANY OVEN CLEANERS.
NOTE: IF THERE IS CAUSE TO
