Getting started
When switching on the AGA cooker for the rst few times,
there are two things you may notice, neither of which should
cause concern.
1. A little smoke and some odour may be emitted when
rst switched on. This is normal and harmless (from
oven lagging and starch binder on the element
insulation) and will cease after a short period of use.
2. Condensation may occur on the top and front plate
whilst the AGA cooker is heating up, caused by the
internal insulation drying out. The condensation should
be wiped away as soon as possible to prevent staining
the enamel.
Your AGA Total Control has the external appearance of a
classic AGA heat storage enamelled cast iron cooker. However
its exibility is almost unbounded because in place of a single
heat source each cooking zone has its own electrically heated
cast iron element(s). The separation of cooking zones, allows
a choice of control. You are able to select only those zones
that you want, or need, to use.
The control panel is situated behind the top left hand door. It
contains touch sensitive buttons with a green or orange light
(LED indicator) to indicate which zone is activated. An audible
beep will conrm selection. There are eight buttons:
Standby/ON
Mode
Manual > Slumber > AUTO > AUTO/Slumber selection
Boil (Boiling plate)
ON/OFF
Simmer (Simmering plate)
ON/OFF
Roast (Roasting oven)
ON/OFF or selected for AUTO or AUTO/Slumber
Bake (Baking oven)
ON/OFF or selected for AUTO or AUTO/Slumber
Simmer (Slow cook oven)
ON/OFF or selected for AUTO or AUTO/Slumber
The appliance has 4 operating modes:
Mode Selection Button
Manual > Slumber > AUTO > AUTO/Slumber selection can
only be made when standby button is on.
Standby Button
This button must be on i.e. green to operate any part of your
AGA Total Control, or for any Timed events.
Manual simply select what you require
Each heat zone (an oven or a hotplate) can be turned on or
o as required, just press the appropriate button, a green
light will show when a specic zone is in operation.
The green indicator light of the selected zone (s) will ash
slowly indicating that the zone (s) is warming up. Once the
selected zone (s) is at temperature and ready to use the green
light will stop ashing. It is normal for the green light to ash
slowly during cooking, this indicates that the heat zone is
requesting power. While in Manual mode any zone selected
will remain on indenitely until switched o.
Slumber (ovens only)
In this mode, all three ovens are active, (the roasting and
baking oven are pre-set to approximately 248°F, the slow
cook oven is pre-set to approximately 212°F).
When selected, the orange indicator light of the ovens will
ash slowly, indicating that the ovens are warming up, when
‘Slumber’ temperature is reached the orange light will stop
ashing.
No individual oven can be ‘OFF’. However any oven can be
switched from ‘Slumber’ to full heat by one press of its button.
When pressed once, the selected oven goes to ‘full heat’, there
will be a ashing green light, when at temperature the light
will stop ashing.
Pressing an individual oven button once more returns that
oven back to ‘Slumber’.
AUTO (ovens only) - brings selected ovens up to full heat from
OFF
The ovens can be selected to operate once or twice each day.
Each operation is termed an ‘event’, the start and nish time is
chosen by you unless you use the pre-set time.
The handset will have been set up by the installer. It should
have the correct time of day set. Unless you have set your
own Auto program, it will include the pre-set time (1 Event
7am - 7pm).
See page 12 to set your own Auto program preferences.
1. Select ‘AUTO’ mode.
2. Select oven (s) for automatic operation, by pressing the
appropriate button (s).
3. The oven (s) selected is indicated by an orange light
(unless you have selected ‘AUTO’ during an ‘event’
period). During an ‘event’period the light will be green.
4. The oven light will ash green while the oven is heating.
When at temperature the green light will stop ashing.
