Your AGA R7 has three ovens which operate as one
creating three distinct cooking zones.
The Roasting Oven for high temperature cooking
The Baking Oven for moderate temperature cooking
The Simmering Oven for long, slow cooking

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.
The oven control has four mode settings to choose from:
Normal – for everyday use, maintains the ovens at
a temperature suitable for roasting, baking and
simmering in the respective ovens.
Low – for reduced temperature cooking (50ºF
lower than normal). To achieve the lower cooking
temperature from normal, allow 2 ½ hours before
intended use. To return normal cooking temperature from
this mode allow approximately 2 hours before intended
use.
High – for higher temperature cooking (50ºF
higher than normal). To achieve the higher
cooking temperature from normal, allow 2 hours
before intended use. To return to normal cooking
temperature from this mode allow approximately 2 ½
hours before intended use.
Slumber – maintains all ovens at a lower
temperature to reduce energy consumption. To
achieve normal cooking temperature from this
mode allow approximately 3 ½ hours before intended use.
Oven temperature indication
For each mode the respective icon will ash while
warming up, once the desired temperature is
reached the respective icon will be illuminated ‘solid’
red. The icon remains ‘solid’ and does not ash
when cooling down between modes.
The dierent zones of the AGA R7 cooker are described in the following pages.
The traditional AGA heat storage cooker is famous for the gentle warmth it emits; with the AGA R7 you will get warmth only
when the cooker is on or warmth, to a lesser degree, when only parts of it are on.
