Owner's Manual

The baking oven is indirectly heated by two elements, one in the

base of the oven and the other in the roof. These elements heat the

air and the cast iron within to provide cooking results consistent with

classic AGA heat-storage cookers, with the flexibility of being able to

turn it to Slumber or Off when not required.

This oven is set at a moderate heat, so is ideal for cakes, biscuits;

also anything that requires medium heat cooking such as fish pie,

lasagne, soufflés, crumble and roulades. Meat and poultry can be

cooked here indeed most things that can be cooked in the roasting

oven can be cooked in the baking oven but for a longer time.

For the best results when cooking cakes do allow an hour heat

up time. Cook cakes together on one shelf if two shelves are used

interchange the food to achieve even coloration, as you would with

any oven which is zoned in heat.

As with the roasting oven the specially designed roasting pans and

bakeware slide directly onto the runners, so almost every available

square inch of space can be used. Food can be protected by

the use of the cold plain shelf or shielded by means of the large

roasting pan, which means that you can cook food that requires

different temperatures at the same time. If food is browning too

quickly and you do not want to move it to another oven just slide the

cold plain shelf over the food to reduce the top heat.

Baking Oven at Slumber

When the baking oven is set at Slumber it can be used to cook rich

fruit cakes or slow cook roasts, casseroles and curries.

With the exception of meringues and rich fruit cakes, food that is to

be slow cooked should be brought up to heat before placing in an

oven at Slumber. The light will flash orange when heating up to

Slumber, then go solid orange when up to temperature.
