GENERAL INFORMATION

As responsible manufacturers we take care to make sure that our products are designed and constructed to meet the required safety standards when properly installed and used.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING WARRANTY.

Any alteration that is not approved by Aga could invalidate the approval of the appliance, operation of the warranty and could affect your statutory rights.

In the interests of safety and effective use, please read the following before using your new Aga appliance.

The use of gas on a cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated, keep the natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional and/or more effective ventilation, for example, opening of a window, or, increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

Installation must be to local and national wiring regulations and carried out by a qualified engineer, from an authorized distributor.

A little smoke and some odour may be emitted when first switched on. This is normal and harmless (from oven lagging and starch binder on the element insulation) and will cease after a short period of use.

Your appliance has a gas hotplate, three electric ovens; the lower right hand oven is a slow cooking (simmering) oven, the upper right hand (roasting) oven is a conventional oven.

The lower left hand (baking) oven is an electric fan oven. The fan behind the rear panel ensures an even distribution of heat within the oven during cooking, ie. the temperature at the lowest shelf position is the same as the temperature at the highest shelf position.

The electric broiler is situated in the roof of the top left hand compartment.

Refer to the diagram (See Fig. 10) to familiarize yourself with the cooker and refer to the relevant section for the simmering oven, fan oven, conventional oven, broiler and gas hotplate etc.
