CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill
is in use. Young children should be kept away.
l
The broiler has graduated heat settings on each of the
2 elements (see control panel).
l
For best results pre-heat at a high setting.
l
The large grill pan and rack supplied will fit on any of
the three shelf positions.
l
Most 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.
l
This range is supplied with one grid shelf for the top
oven.
l
The large grill pan and grid are not designed to fit
the lower oven.
l
If 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.
l
Use care when opening door - let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
l
Do not heat unopened food containers, build up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
l
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
l
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS ON
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - 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).
l
DO NOT 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
l
Top and lower ovens are fitted with side and back self
cleaning panels.
l
The shelves are designed to be non-tilt.
l
To 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.
l
Do 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.
l

oven racks in desired oven location while oven is cool.

neon light goes out.
l
When cooking in both ovens at the same time you may
need to reduce the temperature and cooking times
(especially for baked foods).

For 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.
