Introduction
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 ARRANTY.
Any alteration that is not approved by AGA could
invalidate the approval of the range, 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 TC/DC
Integrated Module (Gas Top Burners).
The use of a gas 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 range hood.
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance, may call for
additional ventilation, for example, opening of a window,
or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the
level of mechanical ventilation where present. This
appliance must not be used as a spacer heater.
Installation must be to local and ational wiring
regulations and carried out by an approved technician,
from an authorized dealer.
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.
The AGA TC/DC Integrated Module (Gas Top Burners),
has been designed to compliment your AGA Total/Dual
Control. Retaining the external AGA image of durable
enamel cast iron. The appliance ‘looks at home’ adjacent
to its well known ‘parent’. At the same time giving a
flexible alternative during for instance the warm summer
months when you may wish to turn off your main AGA
cooker.
Your appliance has a gas top burners, electric grill and
two electric ovens. The upper oven is an electric
conventional oven with traditional zoned heating, an
electric grill is also incorporated in the roof of the oven.
The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan, which functions
during the use of the grill or top oven (occassionally with
the lower oven). The fan will continue to run after the
grill/lower oven has been turned off or until the unit has
sufficiently cooled.
The lower oven has an electric fan (convection). The fan
behind the rear panel ensures an even distribution of heat
within the cavity during cooking, ie temperature at lowest
shelf position is the same as the temperature at the
highest shelf position.
Refer to the diagram (See Fig. 1) to familiarize yourself
with the product and refer to the relevant sections for
upper oven, lower oven, grill, gas hotplate etc.
Your Module is supplied with the following accessories:
3 Grid shelves, one of which is used as a grill shelf
1 Large grill pan and grid - (FOR USE IN THE UPPER
OVEN ONLY)
1 Roasting tin
1 Baking tray
The following loose parts, are also packed with the
appliance:-
2 twin cast iron grates
4 hotplate burner heads
4 hotplate burner caps
1 burner outer ring

lThe hotplate has four gas burners:
rear left - rapid burner - rated at 3.25 kW/11,000 Btu/hr
front left and rear right - semi rapid burners - each
rated at 1.8 kW/6,150 Btu/hr
front right - ultra rapid (wok) burner - rated at
3.5 kW/12,000 Btu/hr
lThe semi rapid burners are especially suited for use
with small pans and for gentle simmering or poaching.
lAll burners have a set simmer position and are easily
adjustable.
TO USE THE BURNERS
lTo light a hotplate burner, fully push in the appropriate
control knob, hold in and turn anti-clockwise to the
large flame symbol.
lPress and hold the control knob fully in until the burner
lights. If electricity is turned off, the burner can be lit
with a match.
lIn the event of the burner flames being extinguished,
turn off the burner control and do not attempt to
re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
lThe control may be set towards a lower position,
simply by turning the control knob towards the small
flame symbol.
lIMPORTANT: The cast iron pan grates on the
appliance are much heavier than those on most gas
hotplate cookers, therefore care must be taken when
removing or re-fitting them to the hob, It is important
that they are lifted from the appliance and not dragged
across nearby enamelled parts which would result in
damaging the enamel.
SOME SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
lSimmering aids such as asbestos or mesh mats are
not recommended. They may impede burner
performance, damage the pan supports and waste
fuel.
lCommercially available foil spillage aids are
unnecessary on this cooker.
lSome ‘Wok’ cooking pans are unstable. Check with the
‘Wok’ manufacturer before purchasing.
lDO NOT USE unstable and misshapen pans (e.g. with
convex bases) that tilt easily.
lThe minimum pan diameter recommended is 5”. The
maximum recommended is 11”.
lever use pans which overhang the front facia.
lPlace all pans centrally over the burners.
lUtensil handles should be positioned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface units - to reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it
is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
lNEVER leave a chip pan unattended.
lPans and kettles with concave bases should not be
used.
lGlazed cooking utensils - Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
lEnsure the correct size utensil is chosen to prevent
food boil over.
lHotplate burner flame size should be adjusted so that
it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil, this
instruction is based on safety considerations.
lever leave surface units unattended at high heat
setting. Boil over causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
Deep Fat Frying
lUse a deep pan large enough to completely cover the
appropriate heating area.
lever fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil.
lever leave fat or oil unattended during the heating or
cooking period.
lIMPORTA T: Oil is a fire risk, do not leave pans
containing oil unattended.
lIn the event of a fire cover with a lid and turn off the
appliance.
Do not attempt to extinguish the fire using water.
Smother the flames on the hob preferably with a fire
blanket, rather than attempting to remove the pan
to the outside or use dry chemical or foam type
extinguisher.
Burns and injuries are caused almost invariably by
picking up the burning pan to carry outside.

The Broiler (Top Oven)
The Ovens
9
lTHE TOP OVEN DOOR MUST BE KEPT OPEN
HEN THE BROILER IS ON.
lCAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill
is in use. Young children should be kept away.
lThe broiler has graduated heat settings on each of the
2 elements (see control panel).
lFor best results pre-heat at a high setting.
lThe large grill pan and rack supplied will fit on any of
the three shelf positions.
lMost foods should be cooked on the grill rack in the
grill pan. You can turn the rack over to suit different
thicknesses of food. You can place some dishes
straight onto the oven shelf this is useful when
browning the top of food such as cauliflower cheese
and gratin dishes.
lThis range is supplied with one grid shelf for the top
oven.
lThe large grill pan and grid are not designed to fit
the lower oven.
lIf you also have an AGA DO NOT use the small
roasting tin provided with the AGA in the Module.
Please use utensils provided and place on the grid
shelves.
lUse care when opening door - let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
lDo not heat unopened food containers, build up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
lKeep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
lDO OT TOUCH HEATI G ELEME TS O
I TERIOR SURFACES OF OVE - Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in colour.
Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact heating
elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns -
amonge these surfaces are (identifcation of surfaces -
for example oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors and windows of oven
doors).
lDO OT use the small roasting tin provided with the
AGA in the AGA TC/DC Module. Please use utensils
provided and place on the grid racks.
Condensation
Condensation may form on the range. This is quite
normal and nothing to worry about. The condensation
forms when heat and moisture are present, for example
during cooking. Whenever possible try to make sure that
the food which contains a lot of moisture for example
casseroles are covered. If you do notice any
condensation, wipe it up straight away.
General
lTop and lower ovens are fitted with side and back self
cleaning panels.
lThe shelves are designed to be non-tilt.
lTo remove a shelf lift clear of the side notches and
slide forward. To replace a shelf insert into the oven
with the short prongs at the rear, facing upwards. Slide
into position above the side notches then allow to drop
down on the runner.
lDo not place the grid shelf or food on the bases of the
ovens. Food will burn on the base of the top oven and
air circulation will be affected in the lower oven.
lCAUTION: Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in desired oven location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in the oven.
lPre-heat the ovens at the appropriate settings until the
neon light goes out.
lWhen cooking in both ovens at the same time you may
need to reduce the temperature and cooking times
(especially for baked foods).
lFor effective heat distribution, leave a gap of no less
than 1/2” between the dishes and the sides of the oven,
to allow hot air to circulate.
lDo not use a tray greater than 11 1/2” x 9 1/2” (12 hole
bun tin or swiss roll tray).

Oven Cooking Guide
Cooking Hints
lPre-heat selected oven until the light goes out.
lThe guidelines are for cooking after the oven (s) has
reached the desired temperature.
lLarger items may benefit from being turned.
lShelf positions are counted from the top.
lPut dishes in the centre of the shelf.
lWhen using both ovens together reduce cooking times
and settings.
lIt is important to check food is piping hot before
serving.
lYou can change the settings and cooking times to suit
your tastes.
lThe meat sections should be used as a guide but may
vary according to the size, shape of meat tin on or off
the bone.
lThaw frozen pieces of meat thoroughly before cooking
them.
lThe times are for open roasting. If covered with foil
allow extra time.
lThe turkey/chicken is cooked when the juices run
clear when pierced with a skewer. If the juices are still
pink continue to cook checking every 15 minutes until
juices run clear or use a meat thermometer.
lThe cooking charts are a general guide and
temperatures may vary according to individual
recipes.
lTurkey Size - 16lbs Max.
l1kg = 2.2Ib
Deep Fat Frying
lDo 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.
lAlways 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.
lever heat fat, or fry with a lid on the pan.
lKeep the outside of the pan, clean and free from
streaks of oil or fat.
