INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION SECTION
The complete cooker is floor-mounted and the space in which the appliance is to be fitted must have the following minimum
dimensions:-
A minimum clearance of 60mm is required above the raised insulating cover handle.
Side Clearance:
A 3mm air gap is required each side between the cooker top plate and adjoining work surfaces that may
be fitted, this is to allow for the safe removal of the top plate should this be required at a later date.
Where cookers are fitted against side walls which protrude beyond the front of the AGA a 116mm clearance is required at
both sides for oven door access.
If the AGA is to be installed in a brick recess, then the minimum clearance should be increased by at least 10mm on either
side to allow for the walls not being square and also for the natural dimensional variations found in the castings.
In addition, a minimum clearance of 1000mm must be available at the front of the cooker to enable the cooker to be
serviced.
Cooker Base or Hearth
It is essential that the base or hearth on which the cooker stands should be level and be capable of supporting the total
weight of the cooker.
MODEL EC3: 477 Kg
The top of the hearth must be of non-combustible material thickness of 12mm.
The wall behind the cooker must be of non-combustible material for a minimum thickness of 25mm.
If the oven vent pipe passes through combustible material, there must be an airgap of at least 25mm around the pipe
preferably wrapped with insulation material.
The appliance oven venting pipe can be achieved up to a maximum length of 6 metres, through an outside wall or unused
flue etc. Great care must be taken in all-timber houses.
Tiling
When the cooker is to stand in a recess, or against a wall which is to be tiled, in no circumstances should the tiles overlap
the cooker top plate.
