eControl Series 2

MODERN. CONTROLLABLE. ECO-FRIENDLY


With our Series 2 eControl system, you have full controllability over your oven and hotplate temperatures. This gives you the option to create an even more flexible range cooker to work around your lifestyle by adjusting temperatures. You also have the option to reduce the ambient heat into your kitchen (great for summer months), and save on your fuel bills with a flexible cooking style.


The eControl gives you the added flexibility of a modern Aga Range, with the option of 'always on' convenience and the ambient warmth Aga Cookers are known for.


The Series 2 eControl has now been superseded by the upgraded Series X model.

HOW DOES THE ECONTROL SERIES 2 WORK?

Econtrol Series 2 Conversion

HOW THE ECONTROL SERIES 2 WORKS:


The Series 2 eControl system works in the same way as the Series 1, but benefits from much more flexibility over temperature control.


  • Total Control over temperatures of each element.
  • 4 Oven Hotcupboard ON/OFF button (vs limited functionality on Series 1).
  • Reduce running costs by up to 15% compared to Series 1.
  • 3 Oven Model Available.


The 3 Oven models are revolutionary, with two integrated machined hotplates located inside both of the bottom ovens. This means easier access to the elements for service engineers but even better, two additional hot spots to reduce energy usage (as you're less reliant on the two traditional hotplates).

SERIES 2 ECONTROL SYSTEM - HEAT UP TIMES AND TEMPERATURES.


The control panel for the eControl SERIES 2 Conversion is shown, along with the rough temperatures for each setting. These temperatures are always a guide only and shouldn't be followed by the degree. As with any Aga Range Cooker, temperatures can vary and each cooker has its own character and idiosyncrasies.


If you are measuring temperatures using a laser gun, please be aware that different parts of the ovens will read different temperatures. The best way to measure oven temperatures, is placing an Oven Thermometer in the absolute centre (width-wise and height-wise) of the oven. The best way to measure your hotplate temperature is an infrared temperature gun. Laser guns will reflect off the surface, giving false readings.


SERIES 2 ECONTROL HEAT UP TIMES


As you can see from the below heat-up times, utilising ECO mode in-between cooking times can reduce your waiting times whilst still reducing your running costs.


Top Oven

(from cold) – Roasting in 70 minutes.

(from cold) - Baking in 50 minutes.

(from Eco mode) – Roasting in 25 minutes.

(from Eco mode) - Baking in 5 minutes.


Hotplates

(from cold) – High in 8-10 minutes.

(from cold) - Boiling in 14 minutes.

(from Eco mode) – Full Temperature in 5 minutes.


INSTAHOB available to replace Right Hand hotplate with a ceramic electric hob.

SERIES 2 ECONTROL TEMPERATURE RANGE


Roasting Oven: 0 to 265c

Baking Oven: 0 to 265c

Simmering Oven: 0 to 200c

Boiling Plate: 0 to 375c

Simmering Plate: 0 to 265c



You may notice that the ECO mode is still available on the Series 2.

This turns the temperature of the hotplates down to 275c/165c and the Roasting Oven down to 180c (Baking Temperature). All other ovens will be turned OFF.


WHY SHOULD YOU CONVERT TO ECONTROL SERIES 2?

The eControl is fairly new to the market but is already making a big impact. We believe in honest selling and transparency. As well as listing the advantages, we'll also list the disadvantages as it may not be the model for you.

SERIES 2 ECONTROL FLUE OPTIONS

OUR ROOM-VENTING ECONTROL SYSTEM (inside an aga range cooker)

Room Venting

Our econtrol systems are normally sold as room-venting so they can be located anywhere in the kitchen, as long as the floor can support it. Advantages to this also include warm air entering the room and it'll be impossible to leave dishes in the oven for days without noticing!


External Vent

We also offer the eControl as externally vented if the cooker is located on an external wall. The Aga Range Cooker is vented using a single 28mm copper pipe, with a T-piece connected on the outside. For more complex installs, a fan can be supplied.

SERIES 2 ECONTROL RUNNING COSTS:

Each eControl system and family will have different running costs depending on how they use the cooker.
We recommend utilising a manual timer to automatically turn the Aga Range Cooker on/off at set intervals. This is particularly useful when the house is empty during normal working hours, and you have meals at roughly the same time.


There's always the option to use the cooker as and when you need it (or on 24/7!) that's the joy of eControl.


The below figures have been calculated with the 34p/kWh price cap in mind.
