Caring and Cleaning
Enamelled cast iron
Enamelled cookware
Enamelled roasting pans - supplied with the AGA
City24 should be cleaned in hot soapy water, soaking
if necessary. A scrub pad can also be used. They
may also be cleaned in the dishwasher, but with
constant use, the enamelled finish will become dull in
appearance.
Cast iron ovens and Gas Top
Ovens - are made from cast iron and keep themselves
clean. They are very durable, but will rust if surface
moisture is left on them.
Heating up the ovens periodically will help burn off any
cooking deposits to aid cleaning within the ovens.
To season the ovens, a light vegetable spray oil (corn
oil is best) is recommended. Any stubborn stains can be
removed with the wire brush supplied.
Gas Top - If spillage does occur on a burner cap or
cast iron grate, move pan to another burner and when
cool, clean in hot soapy water.
After cleaning, be sure all parts are dry. When fitting
the burner cap and flame spreader, make sure that the
hole in the flame spreader is correctly located over the
ignition electrode (See Figs. 3, 4 and 5), and that the
burner cap is sitting correctly on the flame spreader.
The ignition electrode must not be displaced or
damaged otherwise spark ignition will be affected.
The gas hob is sealed. To clean, remove pan supports
and wipe over visible surface.
PLEASE NOTE: The following parts MUST NOT be
cleaned in a dishwasher, as this could damage or
discolour the finish, cast iron grates, burner caps, burner
ring and flame spreaders.
Aluminium pans may cause metallic marking on the pan
supports. This will not affect the durability of the enamel.
NOTE: The appliance guarantee does not cover the
mis-use of pan supports.
Top plate, front plate, oven doors - The easiest way
to clean the enamelled cast iron parts is to mop up
spills as soon as they happen. It may be useful to keep
a damp cloth handy to do this. Baked on food is more
difficult to clean but can usually be removed with the
AGA vitreous enamel cleaner or mild cream cleaners
using a damp cloth, or, if necessary a scrub pad. If milk
or fruit juice or anything containing acid, is spilt on the
cooker, wipe it up immediately.
Clean off any condensation streaks on the front plate
around the oven doors or the vitreous enamel may be
permanently discoloured.
To keep the vitreous enamel surfaces of the range bright
and clean, a daily rub over with a damp soapy cloth
followed immediately with a clean dry cloth to avoid
streaks is all that is required. AGA E-cloths are excellent
for this.
Oven door linings
Oven door linings - the linings can be cleaned with hot
soapy water or a non-abrasive cleaner or scrub pad. To
deep clean the lining place a towel on the work surface
and carefully lift off the oven door (doors are heavy) and
place it enamel side down on the towel padding. Clean
with soapy water and a scrub pad. to remove stubborn
marks. Dry off before replacing on their hinges.
