The oven heat indicator is a guide to the stored heat within the AGA, and does not directly relate to the oven
temperature of the roasting oven.
An AGA is designed to work continuously at an optimum heat setting.
The optimum performance is usually achieved when the indicator displays the color green. For best cooking performance
wait until the AGA contains the full amount of stored heat, which is indicated by the windows 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.
NOTE! Because of the temperature cycling the green band will move and display graduated
section 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).
Fig. 1 Full green indicates ‘ready to use’ Fig. 2 Normal movement during cycling
Fig. 3 Amber indicates low temperature
setting. (Movement will also be
seen with this setting).
