COMMISSIONING
NOTE: FOR MODELS WITH NUMBERED GRAPHICS ON CONTROL KNOB ‘B’ (SEE FIG. 7
& 8)
CAUTION: BEFORE LIGHTING: ENSURE KNOB (A) IS IN THE OFF POSITION (SEE FIG. 9).
ALSO ENSURE GAS SUPPLY TO COOKER IS ON, AND THE GAS SERVICE COCK (C) IS
IN THE ON POSITION (SEE FIG. 7), AND THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE AGA IS
SWITCHED ON.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE - SEE FIGS 8 - 13
1. The main burner gas flow is set with the temperature knob (B) (See Fig. 8). Position ‘1’ is the
minimum and position ‘7’ is the maximum temperature setting. First, ensure knob is turned
fully clockwise to position ‘1’.
2. Turn ON/OFF knob (A) slightly anti-clockwise towards the IGNITION position ( ) until
reaching stop, press down and hold for 5 seconds (gas flows only to the pilot burner). (See
Fig. 10).
3. Continue pressing down knob (A) while turning further counter-clockwise to the PILOT
position (this activates the piezo), continue to hold down for 10 seconds after pilot burner has
been lit. (If the pilot does not light, steps 2 and 3 can be repeated). (See Fig. 11).
4. Upon lighting, release knob and turn further anti-clockwise to the ON position (large flame
symbol) (See Fig. 12). Pilot gas flows and mains gas flows according to the temperature
setting (knob B).
5. Turn the temperature knob (B) slightly anti-clockwise to position (2) (LOW FIRE position).
Leave in the low fire position for at least 30 minutes
(See Fig. 13A).
NOTE: ‘LOW FIRE’ may be between 1 and 2. Turn knob (B) until SMALL FLAME is observed
through viewing window (F). (See Fig. 7).
6. After 30 minutes rotate control knob (B) anti-clockwise to between position 6 and 7 for normal
running (See Fig. 13B).
NOTE: After several hours the temperature of the cooker can be monitored by the heat indicator.
Setting 6 to 7 should bring the indicator to the centre of the silver section. It may be necessary
to adjust the control knob slightly (between 6 and 7) to achieve this.
When the cooker is lit from cold, moisture may form on the enamel which should be wiped off to
prevent staining.
IF THE FLAME HAS EXTINGUISHED FOR WHATEVER REASON, WAIT THREE MINUTES
(MINIMUM) BEFORE RE-LIGHTING.
6. Check the inlet gas pressure is as indicated on the data plate, as follows (See Fig. 7):-
(a) Turn knob (A) to the OFF position (Fig. 9). Unscrew the inlet pressure test nipple plug
(D), and fit pressure gauge. Light the burner, turn knob (A) to the ON position (Fig.
12) and knob (B) between 6 and 7 (Fig. 8).
(b) Check inlet pressure correctly corresponds to the data plate.
(c) Check that the gas pressure is unaffected when other gas appliances are used.
(d) Turn knob (A) to OFF position. Remove the pressure gauge and replace test nipple
plug (screw plug back in, but take care not to overtighten).
(e) Relight burner as steps 1 to 6 and check pressure test nipple for gas tightness.
