The burner should be checked and cleaned at regular 12-month intervals and arrangements should be made with your
Aga Distributor or local Gas Company for regular maintenance.
GENERAL CLEANING
DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER TO CLEAN THIS COOKER.
All that is needed to keep the vitreous enamelled surfaces of the Aga bright and clean is a daily rub over with a damp
cloth and, maybe, a little soapy water, followed by a clean, dry duster.
Do not use detergents to clean appliance labels, wipe with a damp cloth only.
If milk or fruit juice, or anything containing acid, is spilt on the top plate or front plate, be sure to wipe off immediately.
Also clean off any condensation streaks on the front plate around oven doors, or the vitreous enamel may be
permanently discoloured.
The linings of the insulating lids and oven doors may be cleaned with a soap pad. Open the lids and lift off the oven
doors to allow them to cool a little before cleaning. Do not, however, immerse the doors in water as they are packed with
insulating material, and this may be damaged by excessive moisture.
The Roasting Oven, Baking Oven and Simmering Ovens keep themselves clean and merely need to be brushed out
occasionally with a long-handled stiff brush. A wire brush is provided for cleaning the hotplates.
BAKING OVEN
USING THE BAKING OVEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER PROLONGED SIMULTANEOUS COOKING IN THE ROASTING
OVEN, SIMMERING OVEN AND ON THE HOTPLATES e.g. a full meal.
In the above case, the Baking Oven temperature may have risen to that of the Roasting Oven. It will therefore be
necessary to adjust the cooking procedure in the Baking Oven and the following suggestions may prove useful:
1. When placing the food in the Baking Oven, ensure that the cold plain shelf is set directly above the dish, for the whole
of the cooking time.
2. In addition it may be necessary to lower the shelf position.
3. When baking food, such as very rich fruit cakes, which require a long period of cooking time, place the cake on the
grid shelf of the oven with the cold plain shelf set directly above, for 3/4 hour approximately. Move the plain shelf to the
middle of the Simmering Oven. Transfer the cake to this shelf and bake until cooked through.
4. Alternatively, allow the Baking Oven to cool for approximately 4 hours before using.
NOTE: A loose metal plate is positioned in the top of the Baking Oven in order to optimise cooking performance. It must
remain in place at all times while the cooker is in operation.
