Ready When You Are
As part of the AGA eR3 Series range, the AGA 60 is one of our Everyday Radiant Heat models, designed to be on when you need it and off when you don't, offering flexibility to suit you.
The cast-iron ovens can be left on when you want gentle AGA warmth in the kitchen or switched off when you don't, and you can use them independently of each other, helping you to control the energy you use.
The hotplate or gas hob can also be used separately from the ovens, offering ultimate controllability.
It Can Do It All
The AGA 60 may be small but it can do it all. With two cast-iron ovens, the top which can be set to roasting or baking and a lower oven for simmering, this cooker can grill, roast, bake, steam, poach, slow cook and simmer with ease.
The ovens take just 60 minutes to heat up for cooking or alternatively, you can programme your roasting/baking oven to come on up to three times a day or an optional external pre-heating timer can be set to bring the top oven in to use ready for when you start to cook.
This cooker is also brilliant when it comes to cooking for a crowd, with its deep AGA ovens that accommodate multiple baking tins and trays.
Iconic AGA Hotplate
The AGA 60 offers a choice of an AGA hotplate or a gas hob to best suit the way that you cook. The AGA hotplate is made from cast-iron and can be switched to either boiling or simmering.
When on the boiling setting, the hotplate takes approximately 12 minutes to heat up and delivers a really fast punch of heat for quickly boiling water, maintaining a rolling boil and for fast stir-fries in a wok.
The cooler, simmering setting is designed for slowly bringing food to a gentle simmer and is ideal for heating milk, scrambled eggs and making sauces. You can also cook directly on to the hotplate to cook feather-light crepes, drop scones and toasted sandwiches. It heats up in approximately 10 minutes.
ERA is a mix of evolution and revolution. It’s where technology meets design and where heritage meets modernity. And it’s where glass is used extensively for the first time to create a striking, unified aesthetic that is beautiful, contemporary and fits perfectly into a modern kitchen.
The all-electric AGA ERA features two large capacity cast-iron radiant heat-storage ovens, a fan oven, a powerful grill, four-zone induction hob and a controllable cast-iron hotplate, all wrapped in a contemporary black glass fascia and polished chrome trim.
Three Large Capacity Ovens
AGA food tastes better because cast-iron heat-storage ovens use gentle radiant heat to retain the food’s moisture, flavour, texture and goodness. AGA ERA has two cast-iron heat-storage ovens – one for roasting and baking and one for long, slow simmering.
The roasting and baking oven has eight temperature settings; from high temperature roasting (R9) to gentle baking (B1) and heats up in just 60 minutes. Both cast-iron ovens have an internal Altrashell™ coating plus removable door liners for ease of cleaning.
Conventional Oven
Behind the lower glass door is a conventional fan oven with nine temperature settings( B1 to R9) and a heat up time of 15 minutes. The fan oven door features a heat reflective, tinted window and the oven is internally lit to view your cooking.
All three ovens feature large doors with magnetic closures.

It only takes 1 hour to heat the R3 Series back to full temperature from the e-setting. For optimal cooking flexibility, the AGA R3 Series 150, 160 and 170 models offer an additional conventional fan oven and an AGA simmering plate.

For ease of cleaning, these new patented door liners can be removed and placed in the dishwasher.
The AGA R7 150 model offers the choice of a single zone induction hob, offering a safe, fast and efficient way to cook. Once the pan makes contact with the hob surface, the pan becomes the heat source so food is heated directly.
AGA cookers have changed hugely over the last few years and the eR3 Series collection offers the most innovative AGA cooking yet. This is the first AGA collection to feature models that combine both cast-iron radiant heat cooking and conventional cooking, so they take flexibility to a whole new level.

Controllable Cast-Iron Ovens

The cast-iron ovens are designed to be left on when you want gentle AGA warmth in the kitchen or switched off when you don't.
AGA eR3 Series cookers also have an independently heated warming oven, with the 90cm and 150cm models having a tall version complete with a plate rack.
Induction Cooking
All eR3 Series cookers offer a state-of-the-art two or three-zone induction hob with bridging feature for use with a griddle or fish kettle.
The addition of an induction hob means these really are the most flexible AGA cookers ever made.
Induction is the safest, fastest, most controllable and energy efficient way to cook. Once the pan makes contact with the hob surface, the pan becomes the heat source so food is heated directly. Induction hobs are also easy to clean and maintain, with easy-wipe surfaces to remove any spills with minimum fuss.
Large 90-Litre Fan Oven
Available on the 150cm, 160cm and 170cm models, a 90-litre conventional fan oven is perfect for times when you don't want the cast-iron ovens on, need extra cooking capacity or want to cook a quick weekday meal. For event cooking, you have the best of all worlds and can make use of every oven.

The AGA eR7 Series range offers the lowest running costs for any heat-storage cast-iron range cooker, as this cooker is fully programmable for the most efficient operation.
Range of Cooking Methods
AGA food tastes better because an AGA cooks better, using gentle heat to retain the food's flavour, texture and goodness. The heat radiates from the inner surfaces of the ovens, creating dedicated cooking zones.
The all-electric AGA eR7 Series provides a cast-iron baking oven, roasting oven and simmering oven and the 150 model offers two additional steel ovens for slow cooking and warming.
Two AGA hotplates, one for boiling and one for simmering, offer further versatility and can accommodate extra-large pans or may be used as a cooking surface. The five oven model provides enhanced flexibility with its extra ovens and offers the choice of either a warming plate or a state-of-the-art induction hob.
The Most Advanced Digital Control
The AGA eR7 100 ovens and hotplates are controlled by a state-of-the-art digital touch screen panel which enables you to switch ovens and hotplates on and off as required and control the temperatures of your roasting and baking ovens.
This cooker is fully programmable for the most efficient operation, using the handset you can programme your ovens to turn on automatically on selected days and times so it's ready to cook the moment you are.
Optimal Oven Flexibility
The AGA eR7 100 achieves full digital temperature control when cooking a range of dishes, through the four settings in the baking oven and the five settings in the roasting oven, as well as the long, slow cooking in the simmering oven.
The roasting oven has five pre-set cooking settings, R9, R8, R7, R6 and B4, which provide the flexibility to vary the oven temperature from very hot to moderate. The oven therefore can operate as a second baking oven. The R9 setting is ideal for fast grilling.
The baking oven has four pre-set cooking settings, which are B4, B3, B2 and B1, varying the temperature of the oven from moderate to cool. Cooking sweet and savoury simultaneously is not a problem in the ovens as the flavours do not mix. This oven may also be used as a second simmering oven.
Meticulous Design
Beautifully designed and built in the UK, the AGA eR7 Series collection offers those iconic AGA good looks and the highest level of attention to detail, featuring a branded handrail and AGA embossed oven doors.
The cast-iron ovens of the AGA eR7 Series range are covered with a special Altrashell™ coating, which seals the cast iron and makes them easier to clean.
There's also a new cooler-touch, stainless steel inner door liners on the roasting, baking and simmering ovens. This patented design creates a cooler outer door panel and allows for the inner door panels to be removed for cleaning.
