We love range cookers and spend our lives re-enamelling them, designing textiles and helping people with their range cooker problems. This page is part of our ongoing project to make all of our accumulated knowledge freely available.
If you can't immediately find the answer you need then do try a search or get in touch. If it's not here somewhere we'll add it for future range cooker owners!
The Aga range cooker was invented by Dr Gustav Dalen of Sweden. He was blinded in an accident in 1912 and during his convalescence at home realised how difficult his wife found managing their traditional cooker.He resolved to design a cooker that was easy to use and duly did so. Your Aga range cooker was, roughly!, the result.
What we love about this story is that on realising how hard his wife was working at no point did he say 'why don't you let me give you a hand?' but instead disappeared to his workshop for several years!
