Short Periods
Turn the combination gas valve thermostat knob 2 clockwise
until the knob symbol is adjacent to its register point. This
will extinguish the main gas burner, leaving the pilot flame
alight, and will maintain some warmth within the range during
the period of non-use.
Long Periods
To completely extinguish the pilot burner, set the knob to
symbol l. Turn the service gas valve (1) to the OFF
position.
This will extinguish both the main and pilot burners.
The burner should be checked and cleaned at regular 12-
month intervals and arrangements should be made with
your AGA Distributor or local Gas Company for regular
maintenance.
DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER TO CLEAN THIS
COOKER.
All that is needed to keep the vitreous enamelled surfaces
of the AGA bright and clean is a daily rub over with a damp
cloth and, maybe, a little soapy water, followed by a clean,
dry duster.
Do not use detergents to clean appliance labels, wipe with
a damp cloth only.
If milk or fruit juce, or anything containing acid, is spilt on
the top plate or front plate, be sure to wipe off immediately.
Also clean off any condensation streaks on the front plate
around oven doors, or the vitreous enamel may be
permanently discoloured.
The linings of the insulating lids and oven doors may be
cleaned with a soap 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, and this may be damaged
by excessive moisture.
The Roasting Oven (and the Baking Oven in Model GE)
keeps itself clean and merely needs to be brushed out
occassionally with a long-handled stiff brush. The
Simmering Oven and Plate Warming Ovens may be
cleaned with a stiff brush and a damp, soapy cloth. The
wire brush is provided for cleaning the hotplates.
