The Oven Heat IndicatorThe oven heat indicator is a guide to the stored heat within the AGA, and does not directly relate to the oventemperature of the roasting oven.An AGA ia designed to work continuously at an optimum heat setting.The optimum performance is usually achieved when the indicator displays the colour green. For best cookingperformance wait until the AGA contains the full amount of stored heat, which is indicated by the windows beingcompletely filled with the colour green (Fig. 1). This may take some time to achieve and can take approximately 2 - 3hours between use for full recovery.NOTE! Because of the temperature cycling, the green band will move and only be partially visible at all times. This isperfectly normal (Fig. 2 - 4). Cooking can be started during this part of the cycle but it may take longer to achieve thisdesired result.Full green indicates ‘ready to use’Normal movement during cycling11Fig. 1Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4Fig. 3
