Electric Aga - Now with simple 13 Amp domestic connection...

Quite simply the best electric cooker in the world. The new electric heat storage Aga is truly unique, as it operates on just a 13 Amp connection - the equivalent of a normal domestic kettle or espresso machine!

A real, cast iron Aga without the need for a chimney or a flue (it just has a small 28mm/1" oven vent pipe), which means more kitchen planning flexibility, and more access to a universal available power supply.

It cooks the same, stays warm the same, looks the same and this brilliant new Aga needs a simple service every 5 years.

Proven AGA Technology

There's nothing new about the Aga concept of heat storage cooking except that this electric Aga uses an ingenious thermostatically controlled warm air re-circulation system to maintain the cooker's perfect operating temperature. In Aga's best tradition, it uses simple, well proven and highly reliable technology to achieve this feat of engineering.

Low Power Input

It's true. This Aga operates on a normal household 13 Amp circuit (a separate circuit from a 16amp circuit breaker is recommended). Plus, as it is always on, it is always ready to use with no time wasted for the cooker to heat up to temperature.

Easy To Install

Because it's electric there's no need for a flue or chimney, after all there are no gas or oil fumes to get rid of. (It still has a small 28mm oven ventilation pipe to outside because, just like all traditional AGAs, the 13amp model vents the cast iron ovens to outside.) This means greater flexibility as to where in your kitchen you want your Aga positioned, and usually very little wiring, you can normally convert the existing cooker circuit.

Under Control with AIMS (Also Now Available for Gas Fired AGAs)

New for the 13amp electric AGAs (and from September 2008 for gas AGAs): the Aga Intelligent Management System [AIMS] allows you to program your AGA to be ready to use when you want it, and at a lower temperature (or even off) when you don't.

AIMS allows the Aga to drop to a lower temperature in the middle of the day (and overnight) when it's not in use, the clever bit will then will work out when to switch the cooker back on so it's ready for when you need it.

Everyone's daily routine can be different - with AIMS this is no problem, maybe start with the standard settings to begin with, then tweak them to suit your needs as you find necessary.

If you unexpectedly get home and the cooker is at a lower temperature you can easily warm it back up at the touch of a button. After this the controller will revert back to the normal settings.

For those who want to use the Aga in the traditional manner (ie on all the time), just set it to manual and you're done - it's then just the same as any other oil, gas, economy 7 or solid fuel AGA.

Going on holiday? Another great feature with AIMS is the ability to tell it when you're going and the cooker will be low (or off) whilst you're away and come back on ready for when you get back.

All this is not only really useful, but will save energy too, depending on how you program it, with AIMS you could see fuel savings in the region of 13-29%.

AIMS comes as standard with all new 13amp electric Agas and is an optional extra for gas fired power and conventional flue models (not hot water or balanced flue models).
