Consumer Protection
As a responsible manufacturer, we take care to make sure
that our products are designed and constructed to meet the
required safety standards when properly installed and used.
NOTE: The installation manual and user guide for this
appliance are available online on www.agaliving.com.
INCORRECT USE OF THIS RANGE CAN
INCREASE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCKS OR INJURY TO PERSONS.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
PRECAUTIONS TO REDUCE THESE RISKS.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
• 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 also affect your statutory rights.
• YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM
THE APPLIANCE AS SURFACES CAN BECOME HOT TO
TOUCH.
!
ALWAYS
• Children are more sensitive to heat than adults.
• Always make sure children are never left alone or
unsupervised when the range is on.
• Always be aware that range surfaces will be hot during
and after use and can cause burns.
• Always teach children that the range and utensils can
be hot.
• Always allow heavy and hot utensils to cool in a safe
place and out of reach of small children.
• Always be aware hot grease is flammable. Wipe off any
grease deposits on the range top and front.
• Do not leave containers of cooking fat around the
range.
• In the event of a grease fire, do not remove the pan,
cover the pan to extinguish the flame.
!

5
• Never cover or restrict the air flow to the controls
compartment.
• Never install cabinets (shelves) or similar above the
range with a depth greater than 13” (330mm).
• Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure build-
up may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
• Never reach directly into a hot oven to add or remove
cooking utensils. Instead pull the grid shelf out to its
maximum projection.
• Never use a steam cleaner to clean your range.
• Never use a power spray or oven cleaners on the control
panel.
• Never use caustic cleaners, abrasive pads or metal
scrapers to clean enamel surfaces.
• Never use aluminium foil as a protective liner on
the oven base, except as suggested in the manual.
Improper use of this type of liner may create a risk of
fire.
Deep Fat Frying
• Use a deep pan.
• Never fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil
• Never use a lid on the pan.
• Important: Oil is a fire risk, do not leave pans
containing oil unattended.
• In the event of a fire, cover the pan with a lid and turn
OFF the appliance.
• Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially
frozen food. This only lowers the oven temperature of
the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
• Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it
slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular,
will cause frothing or spitting, if added too quickly.
• Never heat fat, or fry with a lid on the pan.
• Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks
of oil or fat.
Smother the ames on the hob preferably with a re blanket,
rather than attempting to remove the pan to the outside.
Burns and injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up
the burning pan to carry it outside.
Do not hang dish towels on the left hand side of the AGA
handrail. Doing so will block the air vent. Blocking the air
vent can cause excessive temperature increase to the control
panel and prevents easy access to the controls.
When the oven(s) are on DO NOT leave any oven door open
for long periods, this will eect the temperature of the oven
and may allow controls to become hot.
A little smoke and some odor may be emitted when the
appliance is 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.
CAUTION: The Control System of your AGA will, because of
regulatory compliance requirements, implement a software
reset at 2.00 am local time. The reset process will turn o the
external vent fan. If you have at any time manually set the vent
fan to be ON, please check its operation before you commence
cooking.

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 eR7 gives you everything you love about
the classic AGA heat storage cooker, but with the added
convenience of touchscreen technology and the ability to
turn each cooking area on and o, as and when you want it.
Made in the heart of Shropshire, England, your AGA
cooker, like the generations of cookers before it, has been
manufactured from cast iron. Traditional iron-making skills
combined with industrial strength elements enable the ovens
and hotplates to heat up rapidly, so you can have them all on,
or just one.
The cooking excellence of the AGA range has been famous
since it’s inception in the 1920’s and is renowned due to the
indirect radiant heat that its cast iron emits rather than just
air temperature. And, if you haven’t found out already, you’ll
soon discover that food that is cooked this way retains its
natural avour and succulence, and simply just tastes better.
So grab a cup of tea, have a read, and prepare to dig into
some of the tastiest dishes you’re ever likely to make.
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.
The use of the 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 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. Overview
Hotplates
The two hotplates are at dierent heats; the boiling plate
being the hottest of the two and the simmering plate is a
lower heat. Each plate is individually controlled.
Boiling Plate
The boiling plate is used for making toast, boiling a
kettle, stir-frying and cooking at a higher heat.
Simmering Plate
The simmering plate is for slower cooking, such as
sauces, simmering pans and can also be used to
cook on directly for toasted sandwiches, drop
scones, no-fat fried eggs and quesadillas.
Roasting Oven
The hottest oven for high temperature cooking;
pastries breads, roasting of meat, vegetables and
poultry, grilling at the top of the oven and frying on
the oor.
Baking Oven
A moderate oven for cooking cakes and biscuits,
baking sh, lasagne or shepherds pie, plus roasting
meat and poultry at a medium heat. Cooking sweet
and savoury together is no problem as the avours
do not mix.
Simmering Oven
Long, slow cooking in the Slow Cook Oven
develops avours and makes the toughest meat
tender. It’s large capacity means several pans can
be stacked here; soup, casserole, steamed rice,
steamed carrots and poached pears all cooking
simultaneously, without any danger of burning.

sandwiches, drop scones, non-fat fried eggs and quesadillas.
(Use of Bako-Glide will protect the hotplate surface during
‘direct on’ cooking)
Warming Plate (Hotcupboard)
The warming plate is the ideal resting place for cooked food.
Slow Cooking Oven (Hotcupboard)
Ideal for a broad range of long slow cooking applications,
such as leg of lamb, pulled pork, belly pork and celebration
cake.
NOTE: Meat and vegetable dishes should be started on the
boiling plate or in the roasting oven.
Warming Oven (Hotcupboard)
Used for warming plates and serving dishes. Can also be used
for resting joints before carving.
Roasting Oven
The hottest oven for high temperature cooking pastries,
breads, roasting of meat, vegetables and poultry, grilling at
the top of the oven and frying on the oor. The oven has 5
pre-set cook settings R9, R8, R7, R6 and B4 which gives the
exibility to vary the oven temperature from very hot to
moderate. The oven, as the others, is vented into the room, so
some cooking smells will be present.
Baking Oven
A moderate oven for cooking cakes and biscuits, baking sh,
lasagne or shepherd’s pie, plus roasting meat and poultry
at a medium heat. The oven has 4 pre-set cook settings B4,
B3, B2 and B1 which gives the exibility to vary the oven
temperature from moderate to cool. Cooking sweets and
savoury together is no problem as the avours do not mix.
Simmering Oven
Long, slow cooking in the simmering oven develops avours
and makes the toughest meat tender. Its large capacity
means several pans can be stacked here; soup, casserole,
steamed rice, steamed carrots and poached pears all cooking
simultaneously, without any danger of burning. The oven has
a xed temperature.

Getting started
When switching on the AGA cooker for the rst few times,
there are two things you may notice, neither of which should
cause concern.
1. The AGA cooker will emit an odour for a short while,
this is simply due to the protective oil we put on the
hotplates 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.
2. 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 eR7 has the external appearance of a classic
AGA heat storage enamelled cast iron cooker. However its
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 those zones
that you want, or need, to use.
The control panel is situated behind the top left hand door
and has a capacitive touch screen with LED indicators
and character display to indicate which zone is activated
and what setting is selected. An audible beep will conrm
selection.

The AGA eR7 is designed to give you exibilty when cooking
a range of dishes through the four settings in the baking
oven and the ve settings in the roasting oven, as well as the
long slow cooking in the simmering oven.
When referencing recipes from cookbooks, the eR7 pre-set
cook settings are equivalent to the gas mark number.
The guide below gives an indication of the settings to use for
specic foods, but the degree of cooking is often down to
personal taste and you will soon nd the settings which suit
you. Happy cooking!

14
8. General advice
Food SHOULD NOT be placed into any oven until it is up to
normal operating heat i.e. the display for the chosen oven
zone is solid and not ashing.
The oven doors should not be left open for long periods of
time during cooking and heating up.
Warm up times
When a zone is heating up it will be indicated by a blinking
red light on the control panel. When a zone has reached
temperature a solid red light will indicate it has warmed up.
AGA recommends that to fully saturate the castings it is best
to leave them for one hour for the optimum cooking results.
Boiling Plate
The boiling plate takes approximately 11 minutes to reach
temperature from cold.
Simmering Plate
The simmering plate takes approximately 8 minutes to reach
temperature from cold.
Roasting Oven
The roasting oven takes approximately 35 minutes to
reach R8 from cold, and approximately 15 minutes to reach
temperature from ‘Slumber’.
Baking Oven
The baking oven takes approximately 22 minutes to reach
B4 from cold, and approximately 15 minutes to reach
temperature from ‘Slumber’.
Simmering Oven
The simmering oven takes approximately 45 minutes to reach
temperature from cold.
PLEASE NOTE: For optimum cooking performance, after
the temperature has been reached, we recommend leaving
for another 30 minutes for the castings to become heat
saturated, particularly relevant if you are cooking a large meal
or baking.
PLEASE NOTE: The times are based on each zone being
operated individually. If a large combination of zones are
turned on simultaneously, it may slow down the individual
warm up times. If all zones are turned on at the same time it
will take approximately one hour for the whole appliance to
reach operating temperature.
These times are based on the cooker having a single
phase supply of 32 amps @ 230 V. For other power supply
