Turning your Aga off - Electric

If you are going to be away from home just for a few days, then there is really no need to do anything to your electric Aga.

If you wish, the oven temperature control can be turned down to a lower setting. On early models fitted with a separate core temperature control knob, this is best left at its normal setting and certainly not turned lower than number.5, otherwise peak charging may occur (30 amp models only).

For longer periods of absence the Aga can be shut down completely, by switching all external switches off.

For cookers with time-clocks controlling the cheap rate periods, these may need resetting. Please contact your Aga service engineer for assistance.

Some 13amp models may be fitted with the Aga Intelligent Management System (AIMS) which allows flexible programming of the Aga’s temperature. Using the holiday mode settings, it permits the Aga to be programmed ‘OFF’ or remain at a lower temperature during periods of absence, yet be ready and up to normal operating temperature for the owner’s return.
