In the event of power failure your appliance will become
inoperative. When the power is restored it will
automatically restart.
NOTE: REMEMBER TO NOTE THE SETTING OF THE
GAS VALVE CONTROL KNOB 2 PRIOR TO
EXTINGUISHING THE BURNER.
Turn the gas valve control knob clockwise to the off
position (see fig. A).
Frost Precautions
In the event of the cooker being switched OFF for long
periods during very cold weather, the advice of the Local
Gas Region or Authorised Distributor should be obtained.
CAUTION: BEFORE LIGHTING: ENSURE THAT THE
GAS VALVE CONTROL KNOB 2 IS SET IN THE OFF
POSITION. (SEE FIG. A) AND THE ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY TO THE AGA IS SWITCHED ON.
1. Turn on gas supply to cooker and open gas cock 1 at
the base of the gas valve.
2. Turn the gas valve control knob 2 anti-clockwise to the
position ( ) (see fig. B). Press down firmly
and hold
the knob in this position while depressing the piezo
ignitor 3 several times until the pilot has lit. This can be
observed through the viewing window. 4.
3. When the pilot has lit continue to hold the gas valve
control knob down for approx. 30 seconds. If it goes
out, wait three minutes and repeat the procedure
holding for a little longer.
4. With the pilot flame established, release the gas valve
control knob 2 gradually and rotate anti-clockwise to its
low fire position. Where upon the main burner will
automatically light. Leave in the low fire position for at
least 30 minutes.
NOTE: ANY ATTEMPT TO ROTATE THE CONTROL
KNOB BEFORE RELEASE MAY RESULT IN
DAMAGE.
5. After 30 minutes rotate the control knob further anti-
clockwise to the mid position in the green band for
normal running. (see fig. D).
NOTE: AFTER SEVERAL HOURS THE HEAT
INDICATOR SHOULD BE ON OR ABOUT THE CENTRE
OF THE SILVER SECTION. IT MAY BE NECESSARY
TO ADJUST THE CONTROL KNOB SLIGHTLY IN THE
GREEN BAND 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.
NOTE: IF MAIN BURNER EXTINGUISHES
For safety purposes a flue safety device is fitted.
This will only operate in adverse flue conditions, and
electrical power failures. If this problem persists contact
your local engineer to determine and rectify the cause.
