The AGA Signature is the new name for the AGA 7 Series eR7. (Only the name has changed.)

The eR7 had a number of updates on its predecessor, which was the AGA Total Control aadding extra settings for the ovens and some cosmetic tweaks and updates.

The AGA Signature has individual controls for each of the three cast-iron ovens and a choice of temperature settings for the Roasting and Baking ovens (or now that the temperatures aren't fixed should we say primary and secondary ovens?)

Just like its predecessor, you can programme the ovens to be on (up to full heat) ready for when you need them (on a '7-day' basis, much like you'd set up your central heating) and you have individual control for the hotplates too. (The hotplates are manually controlled and can't be timed.)

Low-energy, Low Running Cost

The AGA Signature also has an ultra-low heat-output 'Slumber' setting making it ideal for new-build homes and well insulated properties, or just smaller rooms where less heat is needed.

The clever controls work in conjunction with elements embedded in to the roof and floor of the ovens (and the hotplates) to enable much quicker heat-up times than a traditional AGA (about 1-2 hours for the ovens, 8-12 minutes for the hotplates). This also helps reduce heat-output by not heating the room over a longer warm-up time.

The AGA Signature introduces a choice of four temperature settings for the cast-iron roasting (primary) and baking (secondary) ovens.

In addition to the energy-saving 'Slumber' setting (about 115 degrees C) the ovens can be set to suit whatever recipe you're using.

The baking oven has B1, B2, B3 and B4, and the roasting oven R6, R7, R8 and R9 (the numbers equate to the 'gas-mark' scale for comparison), see below for the temperature in degrees celsius.

Two hot-plates: on the left a fast boiling plate and on the right a simmering plate.

There's also a warming plate over the left hand 'hotcupboard' section of the cooker.

Five ovens: at the top right, a roasting / primary oven, below that is the simmering oven. Top left is a slow cooking oven and bottom left is the plate-warming oven. The secondary / baking oven is in the middle at the bottom and above it is a sixth door for access to the controls.

AGA Signature 100 with 50cm Module (Five Oven)

Height to hot-plate: 913mm
To the top of the open lids is 1388mm.

Width: 1478mm

Depth: 680mm
(front to back, measured to the front-plate)

Weight: 480kg

The AGA Signature Cookers don't need a plinth - they are (nominally) 913mm high (to the hot-plate), which is just right for a standard kitchen worktop height of 900-910mm (it's best to aim for the AGA to be 10-15mm above worktop level, to allow for the rounded edge of the cooker's top plate).

It's vital that the cooker is fitted on top of any floor tiles or finish - there's a pull-out access to some components within its base and if you tile afterwards this would stop the pull-out from being accessed. (The floor needs to be flat and level, and to extend all the way under where the AGA will be.)

Some clearances are required for installation - please contact us for more information

Warranty: 5 year labour and 5 year parts (some servicable items are excluded).

Maintenance: the manufacturers say regular maintenance is not required.

- 50cm Module

(adds a 'Hotcupboard' to make the Five oven / 150 model)

(Four zone gas or ceramic hob, slow cooking oven with grill, fan oven)

- Colour-matched side panels
The AGA Signature has matt black sides as standard, you can specify colour-matched side panels at extra cost.

- Optional external oven vent kit for the cast-iron ovens

(The ovens are 'room vented' as standard.)

AGA Signature 150 / 150i
(Five Oven)

A 32amp cooker circuit.

An additional 13amp socket for the 50cm Module (hotcupboard) to plug in to. **Socket MUST be to the left side**

Ideal Solution: Install a 45 or 50 amp cooker control with integral socket outlet - the 'main' cooker can use the cooker supply and 50cm Module (hotcupboard) can plug in to the socket. This MUST be to the left side of the module.

There are limits and restrictions to the route of the pipe - generally a maximum of 4-6m depending on the number of bends and the pipe can't go up at all, it needs to gently fall to outside but not go so low that it falls below the base of the cooker.

Note Only the cast-iron ovens that are vented to outside and it's not a high powered system - if you open the oven door during cooking the steam will still come in to the room, and, if you're cooking something with a very high moisture content, or is very 'fatty' and spits a lot you might still get some cooking smells or steam in to the room even with the fan on.

The external vent does not extract from the top of the AGA nor from the hotcupboard's two ovens.

All AGA Signature cookers are recommended to have an extractor above the cooker.

Simmering Plate:

200-240 degrees celsius
(Heat-up from cold - 8 minutes)
360mm diameter

Dimensions

W: 349mm
H: 254mm
D: 495mm

Approximate temperatures

(Measured at top)
Normal: 100 celsius
Slumber: 100 celsius

Heat-up time:

Cold to Normal - 1hr 15 min
(The simmering oven stays at 'normal' temperature in Slumber mode.)

This was previously referred to as the 'Hotcupobard', the additional section that turned the three oven (100 model) in to the five oven (150) version.

Independent of the main AGA, the 50cm Module has just one switch - so it's either all on, or all off (that's both ovens and the warming plate on top).

If you specify the extra single-zone induction hob for the 50cm Module its controls are on the hob itself. The ovens below are switched separately.
