Your AGA Dual Control has three ovens, each of which
is pre-set at a different heat. They are named as:
The Roasting Oven for high temperature cooking
The Baking Oven for moderate temperature cooking
The Simmering Oven for long, slow cooking

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH THE
DOORS OPEN.
Each oven has the same capacity, (able to t a 13kg (28lb)
turkey). The AGA heat-storage cooker techniques can be
used such as stacking of saucepans in the simmering oven.
This enables the steaming of root vegetables, rice, steamed
pudding, casserole, poaching fruit all in the one oven
leaving the hotplates free and reducing steam and cooking
smells in the kitchen.
The ovens are made from cast iron, which cooks by radiant
heat, and this is the secret of the cooking excellence for
which the AGA cooker is renowned. An indirect radiant
heat does not dry food out, so it retains its natural moisture
and avour.
When the ovens are in use the oven control knob should
be in the section.
A second position is available which lowers all oven
heat to reduce energy consumption.
To achieve normal cooking temperature, return the control
knob to section approximately 3 hours before intended
use.
The dierent zones of the AGA Dual Control cooker are described in the following pages.
The traditional AGA heat storage cooker is famous for the gentle warmth it emits, with the AGA Dual Control you will get
warmth only when the cooker is on or warmth, to a lesser degree, when only parts of it are on.
