How To Set The Esse Timer
Wondering how to set the automatic timer on your Esse Cooker? Keep reading!
The Esse 1000 (and 1600) T and X models are now supplied with an integrated timer as standard.
To improve efficiency and reduce heat up times, you can set a schedule to turn your Esse on or off at certain points in the day. The Esse Timer can turn the ovens and hotplates on whenever needed, then bring the cooker back into slumber mode after the cooking cycle is finished.
Need to override the timer for a quick "out of schedule" meal? Easy! Just press the middle two buttons to override. After 24hrs, your Esse timer will turn back on and resume the schedule.
For setting the timer, follow the instructions in the Esse instructional video below:

If your Aga Cooker doors have started sticking, or letting steam out of your ovens, they may need a little adjustment.
If your Oil Aga Cooker has a yellow flame, it needs some attention. Here's some advice on possible causes and solutions!
Our black steel plinths are available to add onto your cooker order if required. They add additional height to the overall Aga dimensions and are available in multiple heights to suit your kitchen design. Traditionally, these British-made Aga Cookers were 851mm from the base to the top of the black enamelled surface. When do you need a plinth? If your worktop or ideal working height is taller than 851mm and you want your Aga Cooker to match them, you'll need a plinth underneath. Brand new Aga Cookers (as well as our ESSE and Everhot cookers) have a fixed height plinth built into the cooker body. If you need these raised higher, you'll need to lay marine-grade plywood or concrete at the required height before installation. What sizes of plinths are available? Our plinths are available in 50mm to 80mm sizes. They also allow for levelling of the base before the assembly of the cooker begins. How do I choose my plinth size? When choosing your required height, you should consider your finished floor height vs your worktop height. It's standard for Aga Cookers to finish slightly proud of the worktop, since the top plate is curved rather than a right-angle ( photo shown below ). If you were to finish level with the worktop, you will have a bigger 'valley' in-between, where crumbs and debris love to collect! Usually, the plinth is seated onto the subfloor, with finished flooring/tiles ran up to and around the plinth once the cooker is built. Alternatively, you can either seat the plinth directly onto the finished floor/tiles, as long as they can bare the weight of the cooker, or we can raise the plinth using the adjustment legs, to allow the finished floor to tuck underneath slightly ( photo shown below). If choosing this option, you should bare in mind the supporting feet in each corner of the plinth start at around 20mm from the front of the plinth. This means your flooring could run underneath for a depth of around 20mm if preferred. After the cooker is built, there are NO adjustments in height, without a strip down and rebuild. What do Aga Cooker plinths look like?
