CARING AND CLEANING FOR THE AGA
REMEMBER: BE CAREFUL OF THE HOT APPLIANCE.
DO NOT A STEAM CLEANER TO CLEAN THIS COOKER.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS OR OVEN CLEANER
Top Plate and Front Plate
The easiest way to clean the Aga top plate and front plate is to mop up spills as they happen. Baked-on food is more difficult
to clean but can usually be removed with Aga vitreous enamel cleaner or mild cream cleaners using a cloth, or, if necessary,
a nylon scouring pad. If milk or fruit juice or anything containing acid, is spilt on the Aga, wipe it up immediately.
Also clean off any condensation streaks on the front plate around the oven doors or the vitreous enamel may be
permanently discoloured.
All that is usually needed to keep the vitreous enamelled surfaces of the Aga bright and clean is a daily rub over with a
damp soapy cloth followed immediately with a clean, dry cloth to avoid streaks.Remember the top plate and the stainless
lids will scratch if pans or utensils are dragged across them.
Insulating Lids and Oven Doors
The linings of the insulating lids and oven doors may be cleaned with a cream cleanser or a soap impregnated pad.
Open the lids and lift off the oven doors to allow them to cool and little before cleaning. Do not, however, immerse the doors
in water as they are packed with insulating material which will be damaged by excessive moisture.
Refer also to the Cleaning section in the Aga book.
Ovens and Hotplates
The cast iron ovens help to keep themselves clean, they merely need to be brushed out occasionally with a long-handled
stiff brush. The simmering oven may be cleaned with a damp soapy cloth.
The wire brush is provided for cleaning the hotplate and any burnt-on spills in the cast iron ovens.
DO NOT USE ANY OVEN CLEANERS.
Roasting Tins
The roasting tins should be cleaned in hot soapy water, soaking if necessary. A nylon scouring pad can also be used.
DO NOT place in the dishwasher or use other caustic cleaners.
Important: Aga recommend Vitreous Enamel Association approved cleaners for cleaning the vitreous enamelled surfaces
of this product, but they are unsuitable for use on: chrome and stainless steel components, including the insulating covers,
hand-rails and their brackets.
The insulating covers should be cleaned regularly with a NON-ABRASIVE mild detergent, applied with a soft (coarse free)
cloth and lightly polished up afterwards with a soft (coarse free) duster or tissue, to bring them back to their original lustre.
For continued efficient and safe operation of the appliance it is important that servicing checks are carried out at intervals
recommended by your authorised Aga specialist.
