How hot is the outside of the Aga?
The face of the AGA is cool enough to touch, but is too warm in places to hold ones hand on. The AGA was tested by the American Gas Association as a domestic range. One of the requirements is that all parts of the AGA within reach of little people be a temperature deemed safe for the slower reaction time of children. When an AGA is turned on, it takes 5-6 hours to heat up. During this time some parts of the AGA are warmer than normal.
