Introduction

As responsible manufacturers we take care to make sure that our products are designed and constructed to meet the required safety standards when properly installed and used.
The AGA Module has been designed to compliment your AGA cooker. Retaining the external AGA image of durable enamel cast iron. The appliance ‘looks at home’ adjacent to its well known ‘parent’. At the same time giving a flexible alternative during for instance, the warm summer months when you may wish to turn off your main AGA cooker.
Your appliance has a ceramic hob, grill and two electric ovens. The upper oven is an electric simmering oven with an electric grill also incorporated in the roof of the oven. The lower oven has an electric fan. The fan behind the rear panel ensures an even distribution of heat within the cavity during cooking, ie temperature at lowest shelf position is the same as the temperature at the highest shelf position.
The appliance, is fitted with a cooling fan, which functions during the use of the grill or top oven (occassionally with the lower oven). The fan will continue to run after the grill/oven has been turned off, until the unit has sufficiently cooled.
Refer to the diagram in the Overview chapter to familiarise yourself with the product and refer to the relevant sections for upper oven, lower oven, grill, ceramic hotplate etc.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING WARRANTY.
Any alteration that is not approved by AGA could invalidate the approval of the appliance, operation of the warranty and could affect your statutory rights.
In the interests of safety and effective use, please read the following before using your new AGA appliance.
Installation must be to local and National wiring regulations and carried out by a Qualified Engineer.
A little smoke and some odour may be emitted when first switched on. This is normal and harmless (from oven lagging and starch binder on the element insulation) and will cease after a short period of use.
The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan, which functions during the use of the grill or top oven (occassionally with the lower oven). The fan will continue to run after the grill/oven has been turned off, until the unit has sufficiently cooled.

Equipment supplied with your AGA Module

1 x Grill Pan and Grill Rack
This is designed specifically to fit in the grill and top oven only and will slide onto the shelf runners. It can be used for grilling at the top of the grill. The grill rack has two positions to allow for different thickness of food to be grilled. Not for use in the lower oven. 1 x Baking Tray
This is designed to be used on the oven grid shelves in either oven. Ideal for cooking traybakes, shortbread or flapjacks.

1 x Baking Sheet
This is designed specifically for use in the lower oven, placed directly on the grid shelf. It is the recommended size to use when cooking scones, biscuits, meringues or pastry items.

1 x Roasting Tin
This is designed to be used on the oven grid shelves. The roasting tin can be used for roasting meat or poultry. Large quantities of roast potatoes can be cooked in this tin.
The roasting tin can also be employed for making large traybakes or cakes. Can be used in any oven but not recommended for hotplate use.

3 x Oven Grid Shelves
These are for inserting in each oven to provide a surface for dishes and tins which do not fit directly onto the oven runners. They can be used in any oven, as required. See “Ovens” on page 9 on how to locate the oven shelves.

Overview

Control Panel

• The HOB ELEMENT KNOBS can be rotated in either direction:
• Clockwise from low setting in steps 1-6 to high setting.
• Anti-clockwise direct from off to high.
• The GRILL ELEMENT KNOB can also be rotated in any direction:
• Clockwise both elements on.
• Anti-clockwise front elements only.
• The OVEN KNOBS can only be rotated clockwise from the OFF position.
• The HOB NEON illuminates when the hob is hot and therefore too hot to touch. There is a short delay after initial switch on.
• The neon remains on when the element is switched off until the temperature reduces to a safe level (although the hob may still be warm enough to cause minor discomfort).
• The OVEN NEONS illuminate when ovens are switched on. When the temperature required is reached the neon will extinguish.

Ceramic Hob

WARNING:
DO NOT USE THE HOB IF IT IS CRACKED. n DO NOT PLACE ALUMINIUM FOIL ON THE HOB SURFACE.

The hob has the four following plates (wattage rated at 230V):

1. Front left – Single circuit – 1.1 kW – 145mm Dia Rapid Heat up
2. Rear left – Single circuit – 1.7 kW – 180mm Dia Rapid Heat up
3. Rear right – Single circuit – 1.1 kW – 145mm Dia Rapid Heat up
4. Front right – Single circuit – 1.7 kW – 180mm Dia Rapid Heat up

When the hot plates are switched on, the heating area will glow red.
The hot plates contain a safety switch which limits the ceramic temperature if the plates are operated without a pan in position, or if the plates have been at maximum setting for longer than is normal.

To get the best out of your hob

• DO NOT use the hob as a chopping board or a resting area.
• DO NOT cook directly on the hob surface. Always use a pan.
• Always lift the pan off the surface. DO NOT drag or slides into position.
• Switch off the hot plates when cooking is complete.
• Always use the recommended cleaning materials and methods. See ‘Cleaning & Care’ section.

Choice of saucepans

• Only smooth flat based pans recommended for use on Ceramic hobs must be used to ensure correct performance is achieved and scratches to the hob are avoided.
• If cast irons pans are used, ensure they have a machined flat base.
• NEVER use recessed or ridged base pans.
• The base of the pan should cover the heating area.
• Select a pan of sufficient size to avoid spillage (boiling over). Especially when cooking food containing sugar e. g jam, marmalade, fruit etc.
• DO NOT overlap the edge of the ceramic hob area with pans, as this will result in damage to the enamelled surface of the top plate.
• For best results the bottom of enamelled pans should be 2-3mm thick and stainless steel with sandwich bottoms 4-6mm.

The Grill (Top Oven)
The top oven door must be kept open when the grill is on.

Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away.
As with most cookers, depending on how long the grill is on, local surfaces, including the handrail may be hot to touch.
The grill has graduated heat settings on each of 2 elements (see Control Panel).
For best results pre-heat at a high setting.
The large grill pan and grid supplied will fit on any of the three shelf positions.
Most foods should be cooked on the grill grid in the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to suit the different thicknesses of food. You can place some dishes straight onto the oven shelf this is useful when browning the top of food such as cauliflower cheese.
The cooker is supplied with one grid/grill shelf for the top oven.
A cooling fan will run while the grill is in use and for a short period after.

Simmering Oven
This is used for long, slow cooking over 6-8 hours, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.
Extra care must be taken when warming bone china – use the lowest setting.
The slow cooking setting is the area marked between 110ºC – 120ºC on the oven control knob.

Storage and Reheating of Food

• If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible and then refrigerate or freeze.
• Thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.
• Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or in a hot oven (160°C fan oven),and then  serve immediately.

Only re-heat food once.

Using the Simmering
Oven Setting Points to bear in mind when preparing food.

• For best results use the AGA Stainless Steel cookware.
• DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven base. Always place onto shelf supplied.
• Joints of meat and poultry should firstly be cooked at 160° fan oven for 30 minutes, before transferring to the simmering oven.
• The meat/poultry should be entirely wrapped in 2 layers of foil to ensure a tight seal is achieved, this will retain the natural juices and flavours that are lost when food is cooked at a higher temperature. The foil join MUST be positioned at the top of the joint to prevent leakage.
• Always stand covered joints on a rack over a meat tin, to allow good air circulation.
• Meat over 2.7kg (6lbs) and poultry over 2kg (4lbs 8ozs) are unsuitable for the slow cooking method.
• This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and poultry.
• Make sure that pork and poultry reach an internal temperature of at least 75°C.
• Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil before putting in the oven.
• When cooking casseroles or braising meat cover the food first with foil and then the lid to create a good seal and prevent loss of moisture.
• Joints of meat should be cooked for a minimum of 6 hours. Casseroles and stews will cook within 2 – 4 hours depending on the quantity of ingredients. Food will hold for a further 1 -2 hours but the appearance might deteriorate.
• Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in day cooking sessions, where they can be observed from time to time.
• Push dishes well back in the oven to ensure that they are positioned over the element.
• Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.
• Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small pieces.
• Adjust seasoning and thickenings at the end of the cooking time.
• Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a minimum of ten minutes, after soaking, and before inclusion in any dish.

Ovens

General

• The shelves are designed to be non-tilt.
• To remove a shelf lift clear of the side notches and slide forward.
• To replace a shelf insert into the oven with the short prongs at the rear, facing upwards. Slide into position above the side notches then allow to drop down on the runner.
• DO NOT place the grid shelf or food on the base of the ovens. Food will burn on the base of the top oven and air circulation will be affected in the lower oven.
• Pre-heat the ovens at the appropriate settings until the neon light goes out.
• When cooking in both ovens at the same time you may need to reduce the temperature and cooking times (especially for baked foods).
• For effective heat distribution. leave a gap of no less than 12mm between the dishes and the sides of the oven, to allow hot air to circulate.
• The grill pan supplied is not designed to fit in the lower oven.
• If you also have an AGA DO NOT use the small roasting tin provided with the AGA in the Module. Please use utensils provided and place on the grid shelves.

Condensation
Condensation may form on the cooker. This is quite normal and nothing to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and moisture are present, for example during cooking.
Whenever possible try to make sure that food which contains a lot of moisture for example casseroles are covered. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up straight away.

Fitting and removal of shelve s
These shelves are designed to slide out Note: Shelf slides out to stop position.

Cooking guide

Cooking hints

• Both ovens must be pre heated until the neon goes out.
• The guidelines are for cooking after the oven(s) have reached the desired temperature.
• Larger items may benefit from being turned.
• Shelf positions are counted from the top.
• Put dishes in the centre of the shelf.
• When using both ovens together reduce cooking times and settings.
• It is important to check that food is piping hot before serving.
• You can change the settings and cooking times to suit your tastes.
• For perfect results turn foods towards end of cooking time e.g. cakes, pastries, biscuits.

Deep fat frying

• DO NOT try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food.
• This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
• Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat, Frozen foods in particular, will cause frothing or spitting, if added too quickly.
• NEVER heat fat, or fry with a lid on the pan.
• Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
• The following charts give a guide to cooking a number of everyday items.

Lower oven (Fanned)

• The lower oven has a fan, which means the air is circulated to create an even temperature throughout the oven.
• In most cases this means that food requires a lower temperature when cooked in this oven, by approximately 10 – 20ºC. Also some baked goods may require a slightly reduced cooking time by a few minutes.
• The cooking charts are a general guide but times and temperatures may vary according to individual recipes.
• The meat sections should be used as a general guide but may vary according to the size, shape of joint on or off the bone.
• Thaw frozen joints thoroughly before cooking them.
• The times are for open roasting. If covered with foil allow extra time.
• The turkey/chicken is cooked when the juices run clear when pierced with a skewer. If the juices are still pink continue to cook checking every 15 minutes until juices run clear.
• 1kg = 2.2lb

Cleaning & Caring for your Cooker

• Always SWITCH OFF at mains before cleaning.
• DO NOT use a steam cleaner to clean this cooker.
• When cleaning use as little water as possible.
• DO NOT use abrasive pads, oven cleaner or cleaners containing citric acid on enamelled surfaces.

Enamelled Top and Front Plate
The easiest way to clean the AGA top plate and front plate is to mop up spills as they happen. VEA approved AGA Enamel Cleaner can be purchased at www.agacookshop.co.uk.
Baked on food is more difficult to clean but can usually be removed with proprietary vitreous enamel cleaners or mild cream cleaners using a cloth, or if necessary, a nylon scouring pad.
If milk or fruit juice, or anything containing acid is spilt on the enamel, wipe off immediately.
Clean off any condensation streaks on the front plate around the oven doors or the vitreous enamel maybe permanently discoloured.
All that is usually needed to keep the vitreous enamelled surfaces of your cooker bright and clean is a daily rub over with a damp, soapy cloth followed immediately with a clean, dry cloth to avoid streaks.
Remember the top plate will scratch if pans or utensils are dragged across them.

The Ceramic Glass Hob
Providing the recommendations in the section under ceramic hob are followed you should not have any problems in maintaining the good appearance of the ceramic hob.
Ceramic hobs are particularly easy to clean if just two important ground rules are followed.
Firstly, anything that has burnt onto the surface should be removed immediately with a razor blade scraper which can be obtained from most hardware stores.
If any plastic item, kitchen foil, sugar or food containing sugar is accidentally allowed to melt on the hot surface of your ceramic hob, remove immediately with a Top Plate Scraper, while the hob is still hot to avoid damaging the surface. Top Plate Scraper can be purchased from the www.agacookshop.c.uk.
Secondly, after cooking, the ceramic hob should be cleaned with an approved cleaning agent such as AGA Ceramic Hob Cleaner which can be purchased at www.agacookshop.co.uk. A soft cloth is more suitable for cleaning than a sponge because a sponge absorbs the liquid of the cleaning agent, leaving a high concentration of the rough ‘scouring particles’ on the surface. This could cause scratches. Basically as little cleaning agent as possible should be used – in the interest of the environment as well – a few drops are usually quite sufficient.

DO NOT use hob brite on the enamelled surfaces.

The Ovens
All the oven surfaces of both ovens are vitreous enamelled and can be cleaned with proprietary vitreous enamel cleaners approved by the Vitreous Enamel Association.
The shelves can be removed and if necessary the shelf supports may also be removed by gently pulling them out of the fixing clips mounted in the oven side panels.
These items may be washed in the sink with normal oven cleaners, you may use a fine wool soap pad for removing stubborn stains from the oven bases and shelf supports.

NOTE: Take care not to damage the thermostat phials in the ovens when cleaning.

Door Liners
May be cleaned with a suitable cream cleaner or a non scratch pad used with warm soapy water solution.
Lift off the oven doors to allow them to cool a little before cleaning. DO NOT, however, immerse the doors in water
as they are packed with insulating material which will be damaged by excessive moisture.
Controls
The enamelled surface under the knobs can be cleaned with a cream cleaner or soap impregnated pad.
DO NOT use oven cleaners, scouring pads and abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs. A wipe with a damp cloth should be sufficient.

TIP: Clean your Module regularly, Preferably every time you use it.

IMPORTANT: AGA recommend Vitreous Enamel Association approved cleaners for cleaning the vitreous enamelled surfaces of this product.

Accessories

Oven furniture such as Roasting Tins, Solid Plain Shelves, Grid Shelves, and Grill Racks should be cleaned in hot soapy water, soak if necessary, a nylon scouring pad can be used.

Specifications

AGA eR7 / R7 with Ceramic Hob Module

Note: When surveying for a cooker installation the actual clearance required for the ‘body’ of the appliance should be increased overall by 10mm beyond the figures quote above. This allows safe margin to take into account the natural dimensional variations found in major castings in particular the width across an appliance recess could be critical.

AGA eR7 / R7 with Hotcupboard and Ceramic Hob Module

Note: When surveying for a cooker installation the actual clearance required for the ‘body’ of the appliance should be increased overall by 10mm beyond the figures quote above. This allows safe margin to take into account the natural dimensional variations found in major castings in particular the width across an appliance recess could be critical.

Electrical connection

Electrical connections are located at the back of the appliance.
Refer to Fig. 9.1 and Fig. 9.2 and for wiring connection to the appliance.
Remember that an excess of cable length is required for the possible withdrawal of the appliance.
The total electrical load of the appliance is approximately 9.8 kW. The cable size used should be suitable for this load and comply with all local requirements (i.e. PVC insulated cable IEC 60227 – code 53 for ordinary cables).
Always double check connections and ensure terminals are fully tightened and the cable is secured to the cable clamp.

The isolator should not be positioned immediately above the Module cooker, but must be sited within 2 metres of the appliance.

Single Phase Connection
The appliance requires a 30/32 amp power supply fitted in conjunction with a double pole isolator with a minimum contact clearance of 3mm and be connected to the mains with a minimum 6mm² cable to comply with the latest editions of the local and national wiring regulations

Installation Sequence & Procedure

The cooker must be installed by a qualified electrician, in accordance with all relevant British Standards/Codes of Practice (in particular BS 7671), or with the relevant national and local regulations.
Having ensured all space requirements and regulations have been satisfied for the combined arrangement (AGA R7 / eR7 & Module), the build and installation is to proceed as follows:-
It is essential that the base or hearth on which both
cooker and module stands should be level and capable of supporting the total weight of both units.

• AGA eR7 = 370 kgs.
• AGA R7 = 444 kgs.
• Hotcupboard (R7) = 110 kgs.
• Module = 94 kgs.

1. Unpack and remove the Module from the pallet.
2. Check that the rear extension piece is secured to the left hand side panel.
3. Undo 2 screws from front location brackets and remove the bracket assembly. Now slide the Module off its plinth and set to one side Fig. 10.1.
4. The Module plinth can now be levelled and fitted up to the main appliance. Position the Module plinth alongside the AGAR7/eR7 leaving no gap between the two plinths. (See Fig. 10.3).
5. When fitting the Module against a Hotcupboard there should be a gap of 16.5mm which is achieved by using the spacers provided (See Fig. 10.2).
6. Check with a spirit level that the plinth is correct and using a straight edge check that both plinths are aligned along the front face (using either front or rear plinth adjustment screw to alter alignment, if necessary).
7. Also check height differential between the Module plinth and AGA R7/eR7 plinth is correct: 11 mm. If necessary, use the adjusting studs in each corner to level the plinth. In extreme instances, shims may be used underneath the plinths (See Fig. 10.3 or Fig. 10.4).
8. Attach Module plinth to the AGA R7/eR7 plinth using 2x M6 screws and washers provided (See Fig. 10.5 or Fig. 10.6). Slide front jointing bracket into place over two adjacent magnets, locking the two appliances together.

1. Next check that the power supply for the appliance is OFF and fully isolated.

2. Connect the mains wire to the terminal block at the rear of the cooker (Electrical Connections).

3. Sufficient cable should be available to allow the cooker to be removed for servicing.

4. Remove 4 corner buttons and nuts, from top plate and wind the hob adjusters up until the top plate rises approximately 5mm. This is to allow the complete appliance to be slid onto its plinth when alongside the AGA R7/eR7/Hotcupboard, without the top plate clashing (Fig. 10.7).

5. Slide Module onto plinth until rear tongue bracket engages fully into rear of base plate slot, (See Fig. 10.2). Ensure the appliance is aligned squarely with the plinth then proceed to engage the front location bracket assembly into the slot on the underside of the base plate. Once satisfied that the front tongue bracket is engaged, lock it into place by tightening the two M6 screws fully.

6. Check to ensure that the Module front plate and AGA R7/eR7 front plate are the same height and that the overlap strips correspond correctly. If not, adjustment should be made to the relevant appliance at this stage.

7. Once happy that the Module is fitted satisfactorily alongside the main appliance, wind the top plate adjusters back down and replace the corner stay nuts and buttons (Fig. 10.9)

8. Verify that the two top plates are level, then proceed with tightening down.

9. Fit the Module handrail bracket over the fixing
   stud located on the top plate. Lock into position by tightening the grub screw nearest the appliance (Fig. 10.10).

10. Next, fit the ‘allthread’ stud into the threaded end of the Module handrail, then feed the handrail through the bracket and screw the handrails together (Fig. 10.11).

11. Once the handrail assembly is located squarely, lock the handrail in position by winding in the grub screws on the underside of each handrail bracket.

12. Once the handrails are locked in position, fit the handrail endcaps. The endcaps should be carefully pushed into place until they sit flush with the outside face of each bracket (a light smear of lubricant such as, washing up liquid on the end cap ‘O’ rings may ease fitment.
