Ive been told that an AGA cooker is self cleaning so what does an AGA clean consist of?
The self cleaning part of the AGA is the inside of the ovens of a 2 and 3 oven AGA and ovens 1 and 2 on a 4 oven AGA. As they are cast iron and are maintained at a high temperature grease spills carbonises. These still need to be swept out, however, and the doors, the “tunnel” just inside the ovens, the inside of the doors, the underside of the lids, the top of the lids, the enamel top, the enamel front, the hinges and the inside of the third and fourth ovens on a 4 oven AGA still need to be cleaned. We completely remove all the carbon and grease from these areas and bring them up to a sparkling “as new” showroom .This takes in the region of 2 hours for a two oven AGA , 2.5 for a three oven AGA and three hours for a three oven AGA.The AGA will be left with a showroom shine on completion.
