THE AGA COOKER This appliance is a heat storage cooker with an automatic gas control, which will keep the temperature of the cooker constant when not in use and return it to the constant temperature after use. The GC3 (P/F) cooker has three ovens, namely, the Roasting Oven, Baking Oven and Simmering Oven. ‘Grilling’ and ‘frying’ can be done in the top and bottom positions in the Roasting Oven.

AUTOMATIC CONTROL When the cooker is in use, the temperature control knob (B) (See Fig. 2) should be between 6 and 7, with the indicator on or about the black line in the silver section of the heat indicator (See Fig. 9). It may be necessary to adjust the temperature control knob slightly to achieve this. TO LIGHT THE BURNER CAUTION: BEFORE LIGHTING: ENSURE KNOB (A) IS IN THE OFF POSITION (SEE FIG. 4).

OPERATING THE AGA The following points are intended to help during the change-over from your previous cooker to the Aga way of life. You will also find that the Aga Book and the Aga new user guide video provide a very useful introduction to the cooker. After the Aga has been installed When first lit, the Aga will emit an odour for a short while. This is simply due to protective oil burning off the hotplates.
