INSTALLATION/LEVELLING
The DC6 is designed to stand on a flat and level surface, however, any unevenness may be
overcome by adjusting the four levelling feet, one at each corner of the base plate. The adjusting
screws are accessed by removing left and right hand hotplate castings (See section ‘To Remove
Hotplate Castings - Servicing Section Page 50). To raise the cooker turn screw clockwise, to
lower turn screw anti-clockwise.
There are rollers on the base of the cooker to allow for positioning.
When the cooker is in the correct position the four levelling feet can be adjusted to level the
cooker. THE FEET MUST BE LOWERED ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE COOKER ROLLING
OUT OF POSITION. (See Fig. 5)

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 IEE Wiring Regulations and carried out by a qualified
CORGI engineer, from an Authorised 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 hob, three electric ovens; the lower right hand oven is a slow cooking
oven, the upper right hand oven is a conventional oven.
The lower left hand 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 grill is situated in the roof of the top left hand compartment.
Refer to the diagram (See Fig. 10) to familiarise yourself with the cooker and refer to the relevant
section for the simmering oven, fan oven, conventional oven, grill and gas hotplate etc.
Your cooker is supplied with the following accessories:
5 oven shelves
1 large roasting tin
1 grill shelf
1 grill pan

CAN BECOME HOT TO TOUCH.
zDuring use the appliance can become hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements inside the oven.
Deep Fat Frying
zUse a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
zNever fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil.
zNever leave fat or oil unattended during the heating or cooking period.
zNever use a lid on the pan.
zIMPORTANT: Oil is a fire risk, do not leave pans containing oil unattended.
zIn the event of 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, 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
