Please ensure your fitters refer to the fitters guide before installation.
Ceramic and Induction models may be connected to a suitable 6mm cable with a 32-amp breaker (providing the isolator switch, which turns the power on and off to the cooker, does not incorporate a 13 amp socket). However to provide greater flexibility, we recommend a 10mm cable with a 45 amp breaker.
Note:
These are guidelines and other factors may alter the cable/breaker power. Therefore we cannot provide electrical information as the qualified electrician has to make calculations based on what is around the cooker e.g. boilers etc.

The multifunction oven provides 7 functions for flexible cooking. From crisping up the base of your pizza to browning your favorite pasta dish. This feature offers a variety of functions all in one oven: Convection, Convection Broiling, Fan Assist Bake, Conventional, Browning, Base Heat and Defrost.
Functions include:
- Convection - a fan draws air from the interior of the oven, heats it up and forces it back into the cavity again. The heat is evenly distributed for consistent multi-level baking.
- Convection Broiling - broils food more evenly, while preventing cooking smells from permeating the room.
- Fan Assist Bake - utilizing the conventional oven elements alongside the fan, this produces zoned cooking with the hottest zone being featured at the top of the oven.
- Conventional - this traditional cooking method uses heat sourced from both the top and base of the oven, which results in a natural convection process that centers the heat in the top of the oven. For baking, cook in the center of the oven and slightly reduce the temperature.
- Browning element - to use at the end of cooking for the finishing and browning of cheese topped dishes that are already hot.
- Base heat - using the lower element only, this cooking method is best used for finishing off your dishes, such as crisping up the base of a pizza or ensuring the base of a pastry flan is fully cooked.
- Defrost - an incredibly safe way to speed up the defrosting process, as it uses the fan to circulate unheated air, so won't accidentally cook the food like a microwave can. Remember not to defrost meat or poultry in this way.

The electricity supply generates a magnetic field. By placing a pan onto the induction zone you complete the circuit, the pan becomes hot and in turn heats the contents of the pan.
Induction pans need to be ferrous based; a magnet should stick to the base. Stainless steel, or cast iron is ideal. Induction cooking is 90% efficient, fast, powerful, controllable and safe. Easy to clean; the glass hob stays cool preventing spillages from burning on.
Important information for pacemaker and implanted insulin pump users: The functions of this hob comply with the applicable European standards on electro magnetic interference. If you are fitted with a pacemaker or implanted insulin pump, you must make sure your implants are not affected by the induction hob. Please consult your doctor for medical advice. The frequency range of the induction hob is 20-60kHz.

Yes, the AGA Dual Control Natural Gas Range. It is created similar to the traditional AGA cooker in that it has a single heat source. The three-ovens can be heated using natural gas while the hotplates are heated using electricity.
The AGA Dual Control is very similar to the traditional AGA cooker in the effect its heat is provided from a single heat source. This single heat source gradually heats the cast iron over a course of eight (8) hours from setting cold. The newer features of the AGA Dual Control now embodies a slumber feature maintaining the cast iron radiant heat at 212° F, allowing you to achieve ready temperature in four (4) hours versus eight (8). The hotplates work independently from each other and the ovens.
Call AGA Customer Support at 800-1223-3900 and have your serial number ready (to locate your serial number, refer to 'where can I find my model or serial no?' on the FAQs above). We will check the serial number in our database and give you the build date of your AGA.
When cooking food with high water content, there may be some steam visible and this is perfectly normal.
Take care when opening the oven door, as there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.
The traditional AGA cooker was designed to be a heat storage unit and therefore required a vast amount of cast iron which took 24 hours to heat thoroughly given its single heat source. The new AGA Dual Control uses less cast iron and is not designed to be a heat storage unit. The hotplates no longer require several hundred pounds of cast iron to radiate heat to the hotplate surface.
Customers do need to ensure their floors will support the weight of the cast iron AGA being purchased. It is best advised you contact your local AGA Dealer and begin these conversations. Local building codes are also different across the country so be sure when building/remodeling you consult a professional. Floor must be finished prior to installation of range. Notify your AGA Dealer of the floor type, i.e. tile, wood, vinyl. Floor must be level, front to back, side to side and diagonally before installation of range. Minor adjustments may be made with shims provided with the range in the installation packaging.
The AGA Chrome & Steel Cleaner, when used daily, will aid in keeping the underside of your insulated covers clean. Being sure to clean your insulated covers after every use will prevent grease build up.
