The eControl Series x2

Conversion For Aga Cookers


The eControl x2 System was released in February 2025, as a redesign of the earlier Series X system. It has WIFI integration, current and target temperature displays, external control panels and a mobile app control.


eControl x2 - Temperatures and Models

Each model of the eControl x2 has different setup with element power and temperatures. We've provided diagrams with more information on the 2-oven, 3-oven and 4-oven versions.

eControl x2 - Control Panel


The eControl x2 System uses physical dials with digital display screens. As standard, the eControl x2 has a small external on/off control panel connected to the cooker via a small 3m cable. This may be mounted onto the wall, or onto the worktop next to the cooker.


Hotplates:

Controlled via the top left controller dial and the top right two temperature dials. The two LED lights will indicate when the hotplates have reached the set temperature.

Ovens:

Controlled in a similar way to the hotplates, using the bottom left controller dial and the respective temperature dials on the right. The screens display the current temperature and when adjusted, show the target temperature.


4 Oven Models:

The left hand ovens are turned on/off with a push button and are at pre-set simmering and warming temperatures.

eControl x2 - The Pros and Cons



Advantages of eControl Series x2:

  • Two large hotplates. Both capable of reaching 370c.
  • Physical dials on the control panel, with the option of 'remote' modes for controlling via a set schedule or from your mobile phone.
  • See the current and target temperature of the ovens.
  • Top oven at baking temperature in 35 minutes. Hotplates at simmering in 8 minutes.
  • Automatic hotplate temperature reduction if they're accidentally left above ECO temperatures when the lids are closed.
  • External on/off control screen included as standard, with an optional full 'X-Touch' external screen available.
  • Independent on/off warming plate available on 4-oven models.
  • Induction and Ceramic hob upgrades.


Considerations of eControl Series x2:

  • Issues with reliability when compared to the ElectricKit System.
  • Manufacturer can be slower to action warranty calls when required.
  • Less ability for ambient heat vs the ElectricKit Advanced.
  • No temperature markings on the hotplate temperature dials.
  • No temperature adjustments on the left-hand ovens on 4-oven models (push button only - which some find hotter than traditional aga models).
  • Unavailable for older models of aga cooker.
  • ECO mode engages both hotplates with no option for one hotplate on ECO.
  • You need to manually switch the control panel to 'remote' mode to operate via the external on/off controls or the mobile app when away from the cooker.
  • No ability to adjust temperatures remotely - only via the main control panel at the cooker.
  • Bottom left oven is limited to simmering temperatures on 3 oven models (to prevent any potential issues with heat ingress to the control panel above).
  • Integrated cooling fans on 3 oven models can be noisy when automatically engaged.
  • Only one user able to control the cooker via the app.


Power Supply:

  • 1 x 32amp Supply (2 and 4 Oven Models)
  • 1 x 40amp Supply (3 and 5 Oven Models)

eControl x2 - The Ovens

Typically, there are three oven elements outside of the cast iron ovens - top, middle and bottom. These allow each oven to be controllable in temperature.


The elements are staggered in power to give the best possible temperature regulation and mimic traditional Aga cooking. When the top oven is turned to roasting temperatures, the oven below will naturally conduct some heat.


ECO mode turns the top oven to 180c (baking oven temperatures), and turns all other cast iron ovens off. Lots of users leave their cooker on ECO mode for gentle heat into the room and 'always on' convenience. Alternatively, the ovens can be turned on/off whenever needed.



eControl x2 - The Hotplates

Standard Solid Metal Hotplates.


  • Made from steel or cast iron.
  • Both able to reach 370c. Traditional Aga Cooker Boiling Plate is approx 320c.
  • Reaches Simmering Temp in 8 minutes.
  • Reaches Boiling Temp in 10 minutes.
  • Automatically reduces in temperature after 3hrs if left higher than 325c.
  • Controlled via the normal control panel.


Induction Hob Upgrade:


  • 12 power settings.
  • Instant Single-Zone Induction.
  • Can replace LH only (due to the heat from the ovens).
  • Internal fan to cool during/after use.
  • Controlled via the touch buttons on the hob surface.



InstaHeat Hob Upgrade:


  • Electric Ceramic Hob.
  • Sliding Scale Temperature Control.
  • Single-Zone Element
  • Replaces the right hotplate.
  • Controlled via the normal control panel.

eControl x2 - Running Costs


Running costs will change depending on food cooked, temperature settings and size of room, insulation etc. Use the below as a rough guide.


Top oven:

Used flexibly (at 220c for 3hrs daily): approx 17kWh per week

At baking temperature (180c) constantly: approx 37kWh per week


Solid Hotplate:

0.39kW per hour if left on at simmer constantly.

The induction hob upgrade will provide the lowest running costs for the hotplates.


Want lower running costs?  Everhot cookers have the lowest running costs of any cast iron cooker on the market, as verified by the advertising standards association. Take a look at the range here.

eControl x2 - Heat Up Times


The below are approximations.

Top Right Hand Oven


Roasting (220c) in 43 mins.

Baking (180c) in 35 mins.


From ECO to Roasting Temp: 8 minutes.

Solid Hotplates:


Simmering Temp in 8 mins.

Boiling Temp in 10 mins.

Want faster heat up times?  Consider upgrading your aga cooker to an ESSE Cooker.

eControl x2 - Venting Options


The eControl Conversion is room-venting to negate the need for an external flue system.


The small vented shroud replaced the normal gas or oil shroud at the back of the top plate, in-between the lids.


A 28mm copper pipe will be connected to the ovens and terminated inside the shroud, which brings the hot air from the ovens into the room.


  • If your eControl system is vented into the room, steam and moisture will be noticeable from the vented shroud (as well as hot air from the ovens).
  • If your eControl system is vented using the existing flue, in windy conditions, heat might be sucked out of the ovens.

eControl x2 - Timer

Features of the eControl x2 Timer include:


  • Automatically schedule each oven to turn on or off.
  • Manually tap to turn your ovens on/off.
  • Use ECO mode in-between cooking periods.
  • Control your cooker from anywhere.

We recommend using fewer on/off periods per day, and using the oven ECO mode in-between cooking periods or overnight (if you don't want to turn it off completely), similar to the Everhot and the electric Esse Range Cookers.


Keeping constant heat in the ovens stops them cooling completely, reducing the risk of rust from condensation, and giving a gentle background heat. This will also reduce the energy needed to power back up, and allow faster heat up times.


The eControl system uses the Remote App "Tuya", available for iOS or Android.
