Your AGA Dual Control has three ovens, each of which
has pre-set temperature ranges. They are as follows:
The Roasting Oven
for high temperature cooking 425 ºF - 475 ºF
The Baking Oven
for moderate temperature cooking 325 ºF - 375 ºF
The Slow Cook Oven
for long, slow cooking 225 ºF - 255 ºF
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH THE
DOORS OPEN.
Each oven has the same capacity, (able to fit a 13kg
(28lb) turkey). The AGA heat storage range techniques
can be used such as stacking of saucepans in the
simmering oven. This enables the steaming of root
vegetables, rice, steamed pudding, casserole, poaching
fruit all in the one oven leaving the hotplates free.
The ovens are made from cast iron, which cook by
radiant heat, and this is the secret of the cooking
excellence for which the AGA range is renowned. An
indirect radiant heat does not dry food out, so it retains
its natural moisture and flavor.
When the ovens are in use the oven control knob should
be in the section.
A second position is available which lowers all oven
heat to reduce energy consumption.
To achieve normal cooking temperature, return the
control knob to section approximately 3 hours before
intended use.
The different zones of the AGA Dual Control range are described in the following pages.
