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.
Your new AGA Dual Control gives you everything you love
about the AGA heat storage cooker, but with the added
convenience that the two hotplates can be turned on or o,
as required.
Refer to the diagram in the Overview chapter to familiarise
yourself with the product and refer to the relevant sections
for upper oven, lower oven, grill, etc.
n 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 aect your statutory rights.
In the interests of safety and eective use, please read the
following before using your new AGA appliance.
Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for
additional ventilation, for example, opening of a window, or
more eective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
Installation must be to local and national wiring regulations
and carried out by a qualied engineer.
A little smoke and some odour may be emitted when rst
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.

5. Heat Storage radiant ovens and main hotplate
The Controls & General advice
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 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.
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.
General advice
Food should not be placed into any oven until it is up to
normal operating heat.
The oven doors should not be left open for long periods of
time during cooking and heating up.
Store the cold plain shelf outside the cooker. Use it cold in
the roasting oven to deect heat from the top of the oven,
creating a more moderate oven temperature underneath. It
can also be used as a baking sheet.
Warm up times
As the AGA works on the principle of storing heat, time is
required to gather that heat from the electric elements to
saturate the castings. We recommend to allow an hour heat
up time. The optional programmer is a great asset as it can
be set to get the top oven to its working heat, ready for you
to cook when you walk through the door.
The principle of heat storage means that the ovens and
hotplate are at a pre-set heat, the cooking areas are named
after their function rather than temperatures.

The main Hotplate
The cast iron hotplate is operated manually and is machined
at to give the best all-over contact with the AGA saucepans,
grill pan, frying pan and kettle.
The boiling plate setting is the hottest with the simmering
plate setting being cooler. It has electric elements embedded
into the cast iron which heat up in approximately 12-15
minutes. The hotplate can be used completely independently
from the ovens.
The whole hotplate area can be used for cooking and several
pans can be accommodated on the plate at any one time. The
hotplate is set very slightly above the top plate to minimise
scratching as the pans are pulled to one side to simmer.
The chrome insulated cover is brought down over the
hotplate when it is heating up or not in use. When the
hotplate is ‘ON’the insulated cover will be warm. We strongly
advise not to put anything such as kettles, saucepans or
baking tins directly onto the insulated cover because it will
show any scratches - invest in a chef’s pad to protect the
surface if the cover is to be used as a resting place!
Keep the hotplate clear of any burnt on food or crumbs
by brushing with the wire brush, supplied with your AGA.
Cleaning details can be found “Cleaning & caring” on page
29.
The resting plates
The resting plates are useful when you wish to move a pan o
boil or to a lower temperature.
Take care when removing and replacing the cast iron
resting plates, as they are heavy. Ensure they are cold before
removing.
Removing resting plates
Insert lifting tool Fig. 5.1 in recess at rear of resting plate. Lift
up at rear, the slide out carefully from the side, Fig. 5.2.
Replacement of resting plates
Replace resting plates carefully, as shown in Fig. 5.3.

The Hotplate Controls
The simmering plate setting (Fig. 5.4)
The simmering plate setting is the cooler of the two settings
and so is used for recipes that require a lower heat such as,
making sauces, scrambling eggs, heating milk, slow frying,
simmering soups and root vegetables. In addition, it can
be used to cook on directly as a form of griddle - invaluable
for toasted sandwiches, quesadillas, drop scones, searing
scallops and even a non-fat fried egg! Slow cooked toast can
be made on the simmering plate setting, no need to use the
AGA toaster here.
The boiling plate setting (Fig. 5.5)
The hottest setting, the boiling plate setting is used for
boiling, grilling, stir-frying, making toast - indeed anything
that requires a high heat. Green vegetables keep their
colour when boiled quickly here, or use a steamer over the
saucepans to cook more than one vegetable at once.
When stir-frying or cooking anything that is inclined to
splash we would recommend using an AGA Splash Shield
which will protect the insulated cover from splatter, making
cleaning a doddle! Just wash the Splash Shield in hot soapy
water or place in a dishwasher between two dinner plates.
Please be advised the boiling plate setting is too hot to cook
food directly on it.
