Owner FAQs

An AGA heat-storage cooker can do everything a conventional cooker can do, and better. Of course, at AGA we understand that you have to choose the cooker that best fulfils the demands of your family life. If you have a very busy kitchen and would like the added versatility of additional cooking space, you can choose a matching AGA Module to complement your AGA heat-storage cooker, either freestanding or possibly integrated.

Yes. The AGA heat-storage cooker radiates a gentle warmth that dries your clothes beautifully, reducing your reliance on a tumble dryer. To do this, use an airer or clothes horse - be careful never to drape clothes or sheets over the ventilation holes on the burner door.

Another job the AGA cooker makes light work of is ironing items such as folded pillow slips or t-shirts, simply place on the simmering plate cover  over night to be 'AGA ironed'.

Each AGA heat-storage cooker is made in Shropshire, England from 70% reclaimed iron, including old cast-iron cookers, drain covers, old machinery, door fittings etc and, in turn each old AGA is 90% recyclable, meaning you'll never find one on a landfill site.

Most new AGA cookers are now programmable, meaning they work hard when you want them to and slumber when you don't.  The AGA Intelligent Management System (AIMS) is a programmable device that powers down your AGA cooker when you are not using it, ensuring it uses energy responsibly.  It comes as standard with the 13-amp electric models and is an optional extra with most gas fuelled AGA cookers

The constant warmth of an AGA heat-storage cooker actually makes cleaning much easier. This is because heat is always steadily radiating, carbonising any cooking spills and splashes in the process. That means the hot ovens and hotplates practically clean themselves and only need an occasional brush out.

A daily wipe with a damp cloth should be enough to maintain the shine of your vitreous enamel surfaces. If spills are left, they bake on and are more difficult to remove. In this case, use a recommended AGA cleaning product to easily remove the stain. Cleaning products are available at the AGA Cookshop as well as at your dedicated AGA shop.

We recommend that you don't try and move your AGA heat-storage cooker. They're extremely heavy to shift without being dismantled and by doing so you could actually damage the internal components of the range cooker. Not only that, each AGA heat-storage cooker is specially sited within your kitchen with its flue and fuel lines connected, so simply moving it isn't really an option. However, if you do need to move your AGA cooker, please visit your dedicated AGA shop and they will talk you through the process.

It's worth remembering that if you are planning to sell your home, having an AGA cooker in your kitchen may increase the value of your house so it often works out better to leave your old AGA cooker behind and buy a new one when you move.

2-oven and 4-oven gas and oil AGA cookers can provide domestic hot water (not central heating). Under certain conditions regardless of how much cooking is carried out, they provide a way of producing domestic hot water, spread over a 24 hour period.

Please also talk to your dedicated AGA shop for further information on:

• Modifying your AGA cooker to provide domestic hot water
• If your AGA heat-storage cooker currently provides your hot water and you need more
• If for any reason you want to turn off your water supply.

Fuel conversions are possible, depending on which model of AGA cooker you own. However, because major internal components vary from model to model, changing your fuel source usually involves some rebuilding. For this reason, it may be better to look at our trade in options found in Reinvent, Restore, Renew.
