The Heat Indicator

The heat indicator is a guide to the stored heat within the AGA, and does not directly relate to the temperature of the

roasting oven.

An AGA is designed to work at an optimum heat setting by cycling between two fixed temperatures.

The optimum performance is usually achieved when the indicator displays the colour green. For best cooking

performance wait until the AGA contains the full amount of stored heat, which is indicated by the window being

completely filled with the colour green (Fig.1). This may take some time to achieve and can take approximately

2 – 3 hours between use for full recovery.

REMARQUE! À cause du cycle des températures, la bande verte affichera occasionnellement une mesure dans la

section graduée. C’est parfaitement normal (Fig. 2). La cuisson peut débuter pendant la que l’indicateur est dans la

section graduée du cycle, mais ce devrait prendre plus de temps pour obtenir le résultat souhaité.

NOTE! Because of the temperature cycling, the green band will move and display graduated sections at times. This is

perfectly normal (Fig. 2). Cooking can be started during the graduated part of the cycle but it may take longer to achieve

the desired result.

The lower temperature is indicated by the colour amber and cycles in the same way as full power (Fig. 3).

temperature setting.

seen with this setting).
