Control panel
When switching on the AGA cooker for the rst few times,
there are two things you may notice, neither of which should
cause concern.
The AGA cooker will emit an odour for a short while, this is
simply due to the protective oil we put on the hotplate and
ovens burning o. Due to the newness in the rst couple of
hours, it is advisable to open the kitchen window while this
takes place.
Condensation may occur on the top and front plate whilst the
AGA cooker is heating up, caused by the insulation lagging
and starch binder on the element insulation drying out. The
condensation should be wiped away as soon as possible to
prevent staining the enamel.
Your AGA 60 has the external appearance of a classic AGA
heat storage enamelled cast iron cooker. However, it’s
exibility is almost unbounded because in place of a single
heat source each cooking zone has its own electrically heated
cast iron element (s). The separation of cooking zones, allows
a choice of control. You are able to select only the zones that
you want, or need, to use.
PLEASE NOTE: Gas hob and oven controls on this appliance
are ‘push to turn’ operation.
Gas hob
The gas hob control knobs can only be rotated anti-clockwise
from the OFF position.
Cooker hoods and oven venting
It is recommended that this AGA is tted with a cooker hood
above it. The AGA venting system is located on top of the
AGA and is designed for venting the moisture from the ovens.
The cooker hood should be positioned not less than the
minimum height as recommended by the manufacturer, from
the top of the AGA.
The AGA 60 ovens are manufactured from cast iron, over a
period of time they will become individually seasoned.
However, the ovens will rust if high moisture content foods
are not covered (especially in the simmering oven) or
spillages are not cleaned up.
It is also not advisable to leave a full or partially lled
saucepan/utensils with high moisture content food in the
ovens when they are not in use.
To season the ovens a light vegetable oil is ideal (corn oil is
best), spray oil is recommended. Any stubborn stains can be
removed with the wire brush supplied.
Cleaning details can be found on “Cleaning & caring for
your cooker”.
