AGA Total Control
The new fully programmable AGA cooker from £9,595
The AGA Total Control cooker has the same cast-iron good looks for which the classic AGA heat-storage cooker is famous.
Cooking on the AGA Total Control cooker is a pleasure and produces amazing results. Its cast-iron ovens are gentle on food and lock in moisture, flavour, texture and, importantly, goodness - meaning the food you serve tastes delicious. Put simply, the AGA Total Control treats food as it should be treated - ensuring that you get the very best out of your ingredients.
From the exterior, the AGA Total Control appears to be just the same as the AGA cooker we know and love.
But open the door to the touch-screen control panel and it's a whole new picture…
State-of-the-art technology changes everything. It enables you to programme your AGA cooker to be on when you want to cook. Or off when you don't. Each hotplate and oven operates independently.
You can still enjoy that indefinable ambient AGA warmth while managing the amount of energy used. And in the summer months, you can choose to turn the AGA cooker off when it's not needed.
From weekdays to high days and holidays - whatever the season - you can tailor your AGA Total Control to suit you and your family's lifestyle.
It's the AGA cooker for all times
AGA Total Control enables you to use a 'different' AGA every day. You can choose to use it like a classic AGA heat-storage cooker with all ovens and hotplates on - or simply use a single hotplate or oven.
With our increasingly busy lifestyles - and the natural changes in routine over time -AGA Total Control fits in seamlessly with how you live your life, offering ultimate flexibility and convenience.
Thanks to the easy-to-use touch-screen panel, there is a setting for every family's need or occasion - available on demand at the touch of a button.
The ovens can be programmed to be ready to make breakfast when you come down in the morning and be set to go off as you close the front door. They can be programmed to be ready if there are children coming in from school or for when you come in from work. They can be ready for supper and stay on until it's time to turn in.
AGA Total Control is the AGA cooker for all times, providing all the benefits of 'kind-to-food' cast-iron cooking combined with technology that has created an AGA cooker perfectly in tune with your family's way of living…
Product Details
Control at the touch of a button
At the heart of the electric AGA Total Control cooker is a touch-screen control panel which puts you in charge of how and when the cooker is used.
Discreetly housed behind the top left door, the nerve centre of the AGA Total Control cooker can be accessed directly or programmed via a remote control handset. Using the control panel, the hotplates and ovens can be turned on manually when needed. It's so flexible - you can heat only one hotplate or both. You can opt to heat only the roasting oven, the baking oven or the simmering oven - or all three.
…but the touch-screen panel does so much more
Alternatively using the remote control handset, you can even programme the cast-iron ovens to come on automatically for one or two cooking cycles per day, seven days a week. You can set the AGA Total Control cooker to provide the constant ambient warmth to the kitchen for which the AGA cooker is renowned.
Automatically ready
Manual (you choose)
Each zone (an oven or a hotplate) can be operated individually in
manual mode. Any zone selected will remain on until switched
off.
Slumber (ovens only)
In this mode all three ovens are active, pre-set at a simmering
heat. Slumber setting is ideal for slow cooking and giving a gentle
heat into the kitchen, creating that unmistakable ambient AGA
warmth. When the ovens are in slumber mode, they take less time to
reach full heat.
Auto (ovens only)
Selecting the auto function brings selected ovens up to full heat
from off automatically when a programme is set. The ovens can be
selected to operate once or twice each day, with the start and
finish time of the 'cooking cycles' set by the user.
Auto slumber (ovens only)
Choosing this setting automatically brings the ovens up to full
heat from slumber mode.
The Hotplates
Each of the hotplates on the AGA Total Control cooker - the boiling plate and simmering plate - can be turned on or off independently as required simply by pressing the appropriate button on the control panel. Both hotplates are operated manually.
There are other innovations too. The patented engineering technology behind AGA Total Control means each hotplate is independently heated by its own element (International Patent Pending PCT/GB2011/050978). This means constant heat when the hotplate is on. This also means that using the hotplates does not affect the heat in the ovens, as each zone is independently heated.
Boiling plate - The boiling plate is on the left-hand side. It is the hotter of the two hotplates. From cold, the boiling plate takes approximately 11 minutes to reach its operating temperature.
Simmering plate - The simmering plate is on the right-hand side. It is the cooler of the two hotplates. From a cold start, the simmering plate will achieve its operating temperature in about 8 minutes.
The Ovens
The AGA Total Control cooker represents an important breakthrough in heat-storage engineering. Patented technology (International Patent Pending PCT/GB2011/050978) developed within our own research and development facility means that, for the first time, each oven has its own heat source. The result is increased programmability, more even heat distribution and more consistent oven temperatures. What hasn't changed is that this next generation AGA cooker still works on the principle of radiant kind-to-food heat, meaning that - just like classic AGA heat-storage cookers - it cooks beautifully, locking in flavour and moisture. This is the first AGA cooker to be part-assembled on a production line, meaning exceptional build quality and adherence to the highest production standards. Rest assured, however, that our skilled engineers finish the assembly in your home, maintaining our commitment to the very highest levels of customer care.
Powered oven venting - The AGA Total Control
features an oven vent fan used when you are cooking in the
roasting, simmering or baking oven to take cooking odours and
grease vapours directly outside the house.
Each oven has its own heat source, meaning consistent oven
temperatures.
Simmering oven - The AGA Total Control simmering
oven is ideal for slow cooking, allowing flavours to develop and
making even the toughest meats tender. Its large capacity allows
several pans to be stacked and a number of dishes to be cooked
simultaneously. From a cold start, the simmering oven takes around
45 minutes to reach its operating temperature.From the slumber
setting, heat-up time is unchanged.
Baking oven - A moderate oven for baking cakes
and biscuits cooking fish, lasagne or a shepherd's pie, the AGA
Total Control baking oven is truly flexible. And cooking sweet and
savoury dishes together is no problem as the flavours do not mix.
From a cold start, the baking oven takes around 22 minutes to reach
its operating temperature. From the slumber setting, this is
reduced to approximately 15 minutes.
Roasting oven - The roasting oven on the AGA
Total Control grills, roasts and bakes bread beautifully. But new
technology means it is possible to use only the roasting oven or to
use it alongside either or both of the other two ovens. From a cold
start, the roasting oven takes around 35 minute to reach its
operating temperature. From the slumber setting, this is reduced to
approximately 15 minutes.

With AGA Total Control, the energy needed to cook can be reduced to under a fifth of that for the classic AGA heat-storage cooker; usage depends of course on how much of the time you choose to have it on or have it in slumber mode (from which the AGA has shortened heat-up times).
The amount of energy used in the summer compared to the winter may vary significantly due to use of the slumber mode and perhaps the type of food cooked in the winter compared to the summer months.
To enable some comparisons on running costs we have provided the following 'typical' energy consumption based on a weekly standard menu (see table below for details).
A kitchen with an AGA Total Control cooker benefits from gentle residual heat when the cooker is turned off, as cast iron retains energy and only cools down over several hours to ambient temperatures.
All of the work has been undertaken by the AGA product team, all data has been fully verified by an independent third party.
PLEASE NOTE: Actual energy consumptions will vary greatly dependent on demand, weight of food cooked and even how 'well done' the food is required to be. The boiling of kettles on the hotspots will also affect total energy used, but the weekly menu covers limited boiling of a kettle.
Quoted heat-up times are based on each zone of AGA Total Control being operated individually. If a large combination of zones is turned on simultaneously, this may slow down the individual heat-up times. If all zones are turned on at the same time it will take approximately one hour for the whole appliance to reach full operating temperature. All timings are based on the AGA benefiting from a single-phase electricity supply with a capacity of greater than 32 amps @ 230 V. With other power supply configurations, times may change. In order to maintain warranty status, an interim service is due at 21⁄2 years to check and change consumable items, including the vent fan, and to undertake a safety check. A full service is due at the end of year five. The appliance warranty does not cover commercial use (see separate warranty book for further details). Note: the plinth of AGA Total Control should not be tiled, as it needs to be accessible for maintenance
A fully comprehensive warranty booklet comes with the AGA
Cooker.
