HEALTH & SAFETY Consumer Protection As responsible manufacturers we take care to make sure that our products are designed and constructed to meet the required safety standards, when properly installed and used. IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING WARRANTY. Any alteration that is not approved by Aga could invalidate the approval of the appliance, operation of the warranty and could also affect your statutory rights.
THE AGA COOKER This appliance is a heat storage cooker with a 13 amp element which will keep the temperature of the cooker constant when not in use and return it to constant temperature after use. The Aga EC3 cooker has three ovens, namely, the Roasting Oven, Baking Oven and Simmering Oven. ‘Grilling’ and ‘frying’ can be done in the top and floor positions in the Roasting Oven.
OPERATING THE AGA The following points are intended to help during the change-over from your previous cooker to the Aga way of life. You will also find that the Aga Book and the Aga new user guide video provide a very useful introduction to the cooker. After the Aga has been installed When first switched on, the Aga will emit an odour for a short while. This is simply due to protective oil burning off the hotplates.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL To turn the cooker off, switch off the electrical supply at the wall. When the cooker is in use the control knob should be in the HIGH section (i.e. 4/5) of the numbered band, with the indicator on or about the black line in the silver section of the heat indicator. It may be necessary to adjust the control knob slightly to achieve this. Once the setting has been confirmed, the control will operate automatically to maintain the cooker at its correct temperature and need not be adjusted.
