How long do I need to calculate to get the AGA up to heat?
There is no need to calculate a heat up time for an AGA, as AIMS calculates itself, (hence the

instructions and read the Handset to Base Unit Signal Check. Alternatively see the ‘AIMS Handset
Care section of this manual.
Does the engineer set up my AIMS programmes?

What do I do if I come home early and decide I want to use the AGA at normal heat?
