6. The Controls
When switching on the AGA cooker for the first 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 off. Due to the newness in the first 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 flexibility 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 fitted 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.
