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.

The Radiant Ovens
Your AGA has two ovens which are pre-set at a dierent
heat plus a warming oven, just like the traditional AGA heat
storage cooker. The top oven has two temperature settings
one for roasting and one for baking.
Each oven has the same capacity, (able to t a 13kg (28lb)
turkey) and the traditional AGA heat-storage cooker
techniques can be used, such as stacking saucepans in
the simmering oven. This enables the steaming of root
vegetables, rice, steamed pudding, casserole, poaching fruit
all in the same oven leaving the hotplate free.
The AGA Roast/Bake and Simmer ovens are manufactured
from cast iron, over a period of time they will become
individually seasoned.
However, the ovens will rust if high moisture content foods
are not covered (especially in the simmering oven) or
spillages are not cleaned up.
It is also not advisable to leave a full or partially lled
saucepan /utensils with high moisture content food in the
ovens when they are not in use.
To season the ovens a light vegetable oil is ideal (corn oil is
best), spray oil is recommended. Any stubborn stains can be
removed with the wire brush supplied.
The warming oven and storage compartment are
manufactured from coated steel and do not need to be
seasoned.
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.

Baking oven setting
The baking oven setting is indirectly
heated by two elements, one in the base
of the oven and the other in the roof.
These elements heat the cast iron within
to provide cooking results consistent with
traditional AGA heat storage cookers,
with the exibility of being able to turn it
o when not in use.
This setting is a moderate heat, so is ideal for cakes, biscuits,
also anything that requires medium heat cooking such as sh
pie, lasagne, soués, crumble and roulades. Meat and poultry
can be cooked here indeed most things that can be cooked
on the roasting oven setting can be cooked on the baking
oven setting but for a longer time.
For the best results when cooking cakes do allow at least the
one hour heat up time. Cook cakes together on one shelf. If
two shelves are used interchange the food to achieve even
colouration, as you would with any oven which is zoned heat.
As with the roasting oven setting, the specially designed AGA
roasting tins and bakeware slide directly onto the runners,
so almost every available square centimetre of space can be
used. Food can be protected by the use of the cold plain shelf
or shielded by means of the large roasting tin, which means
that you can cook food that requires dierent temperatures
at the same time. If food is browning too quickly and you do
not want to move it to another oven just slide the cold plain
shelf over the food to reduce the heat.
NOTE: When baking it is always best to start from cold,
otherwise if baking after using the roasting setting the oven
will take a considerable amount of time to cool.
NOTE: Always remove the cold plain shelf and roasting tins
on completion of cooking, if left in the oven it will aect the
oven temperature.
Roasting oven setting
The roasting oven setting is indirectly
heated by two elements, one in the base
of the oven and the other in the roof.
These elements heat the cast iron within
to provide cooking results consistent with
the traditional AGA heat-storage cooker,
with the exibility of being able to turn
the oven o when not in use.
The roasting oven setting can be used for‘grilling’ at the top
and ‘shallow frying’ on the oven oor.
When cooking on the base of the roasting oven, place the
oor grid on the base before putting the food into the oven.
This lifts the food away from the base element to ensure best
cooking results are achieved.
The roasting oven setting is zoned in heat, meaning it is
slightly hotter towards the top than the centre and the oven
grid shelf set on the oven oor is slightly less hot than the
centre.
The beauty of the roasting oven setting is that any fat is burnt
o when the oven is at full heat, just brush out occasionally to
remove the carbon deposits.
The roasting oven setting is excellent for bread and pastries.
Quiches in ceramic or pies in Pyrex dishes need not be baked
blind as when they are in placed on the oor grid on the base
of the oven the pastry cooks from underneath and the lling
will set and brown from the all-round heat. As you are aware
metal at tins conduct heat quicker than ceramic and may
need less cooking time.
The specially designed AGA roasting tins and bakeware slide
directly onto the runners, so almost every available square
centimetre of space can be used. Food can be protected
by the use of the cold plain shelf or shielded by means of
the large roasting tin which means you can cook food that
requires dierent temperatures at the same time. If food is
browning too quickly and you do not want to move it to
another oven just slide the cold plain shelf over the food to
reduce the top heat.

11
Simmering oven
The simmering oven is indirectly heated
by one element in the base of the oven.
This element heats the air and the cast
iron within it to provide cooking results
consistent with the traditional simmering
oven of the traditional AGA heat-storage
cooker, with the exibility of being able
to turn it o when not required.
The oor grid is used here to protect items placed on the base
of the oven such as vegetables for steaming, keeping sauces
warm or casseroles cooked for a long time. Always ensure this
is in place, before putting food into the oven.
The simmering oven can be described as a continuation oven,
it continues to cook food that has been brought up to heat
elsewhere on the cooker with the exception of meringues
which are dried out rather than‘cooked’.
Warming oven
The warming oven is indirectly heated by
one element in the base of the oven.
The OVEN IS NOT A HOLDING OVEN
and therefore is not designed to hold
food at a given temperature for long
periods.
The warming oven is designed to keep prepared food warm
for a short period until it is convenient to serve.
The warming oven is supplied with a plate rack facility for
warming before serving.
n Plates should NOT be left in for long periods to avoid
damage.
Operate the warming oven via the separate switch at the
right-hand side of the hotplate. A green neon indicates that
the warming oven is on.
User Guidance
• Allow the ovens to heat fully, the longer the oven is on
the better, we recommend one hour.
• To get the very best performance, we recommend to
use AGA cookware with thick bases and stacking lids.
• DO NOT place dishes directly on to the oven base.
Always place onto either a shelf or the floor grid.
• Joints of meat and poultry should be brought up to heat
ideally on the roasting oven setting for 30-45 minutes,
then transfered to the simmering oven.
• This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and stuffed
poultry).
• Make sure that pork and poultry reach an internal
temperature of at least 75°C.
• Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil
before putting in the simmering oven.
• Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.
• Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small pieces.
• Adjust seasoning and thickenings at the end of the
cooking time.
• Many dried pulses and beans for example, dried red
kidney beans must be boiled for a minimum of 10
minutes, after soaking, and before inclusion in any dish.

Operation for Fanned oven
Fan ovens circulate hot air continuously, which means
faster, more even cooking. The recommended cooking
temperatures for a fan oven are generally lower than those
for a non-fan oven.
Operating the Ovens
Fan Oven
Turn the temperature selector to the desired temperature
(Fig. 6.2).
The oven will take approx 10 minutes until it has reached the
temperature you selected.
It will then cycle on and o during cooking as the oven
maintains the selected temperature.
Accessories
Oven Shelves
The oven shelves are retained when pulled forward but can
be easily removed and retted.
Pull the shelf forward until the back of the shelf is stopped by
the shelf stop bumps in the oven sides (Fig. 6.3).
Lift up the front of the shelf so the back of the shelf will pass
under the shelf stop and then pull the shelf forward (Fig. 6.4).
To ret the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove in the oven
side and push the shelf back until the ends hit the shelf stop.
Lift up the front so the shelf ends clear the shelf stops, and
then lower the front so that the shelf is level and push it fully
back.
n DO NOT put the glide-out shelf runners in a
dishwasher.
Oven Shelves
The fan oven is supplied with four at cooking shelves
(Fig. 6.5), and a plate-warming shelf (Fig. 6.6).
When using the tall oven, you can cook on all four shelves at
the same time, but make sure that they are well spaced out
allow the hot air to circulate.
The baking sheet (Fig. 6.8) is designed specically for
use in this oven, placed directly on the grid shelf. It is the
recommended size to use when cooking scones, biscuits,
meringues or pastry items.
Shelf Support Removal
To clean the oven sides, slide out the shelves, unhook the
supports from the oven sides and lift out (Fig. 6.7).

General oven tips
The oven shelves should always be pushed rmly to the back
of the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed
level with the front edge of the oven’s wire shelves. Other
containers should be placed centrally. Keep all trays and
containers away from the back of the oven, as overbrowning
of the food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a
baking tray is:
• depth: 340 mm (13 ⁄”) by width: 340 mm (13 ⁄”) in the
main oven
• depth: 321 mm (12 ⁄”) by width: 289 mm (11 ⁄”) in the
tall oven.
Cooking can be carried out on all four shelves at once - just
ensure they are evenly spaced.
When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the door open for
longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very
hot.
• Always leave a“finger’s width”between dishes on
the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely
around them.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot
fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly
with cooking oil.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking,
place them on a baking tray.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat
the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in
the centre of the tray.
Cooking tips for your Fan Oven

15
The oven will take approx 10 minutes until it has reached the selected temperature.
The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table below are intended to be used as a
guide only. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result.
Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes,
reduce the fan oven temperature by 20°C and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The temperature in
the fan oven does not vary with height in the oven so you can use any shelf.

7. 2 zone induction hotplate (90i and 150i models)
The induction hobs works independent of the AGA hotplate
and ovens. The entire induction hob functions are accessed
via the touch pads built into the ceramic surface of the
induction hotplate.
Pans
It is important to use pans that are specically recommended
for induction cooking. Generally stainless steel, special pans
with stainless steel bases, enamelled steel, or cast iron pans
with at enamelled bases are suitable. It should be noted that
some grades of stainless steel pans may not function or may
be slow to heat.
All copper and all aluminium constructed pans or ceramic
pans, will not work on an induction hob. If you are unsure
of a pan, try a quick test using a magnet on the pan base
(Fig. 7.2). A strong attraction between magnet and pan,
will normally indicate a suitable pan. Weak or no attraction
usually indicates a pan that is not suitable. Do not forget to
remove the magnet before using the pan on the hob.
Use pans that are the same size or slightly larger than the
marked area. Smaller pans will take longer to heat. Using a
pan with a lid will help pan contents boil more quickly.
Ideally pans should have near at bottoms to maximise
induction eciency.
Most types of pans will generate a faint audible sound during
the cooking process and this is perfectly normal. The level of
sound will vary depending on the type and style of pan used.
AGA accessories can be viewed at your local AGA specialist or
online at www.agacookshop.co.uk.
Pan Detection
When the power is on and a power level is selected, the pan
detection will be automatic whenever the pan is placed
within or removed from the cooking zone on the hob. (See
Fig. 7.3 for dened pan area and pan location).
