INSTALLATION
Range Base or Hearth
It is essential that the base or hearth on which the range stands should be level and be capable of supporting
the total weight of the range. The base of the built-in AGA plinth must be level and sit above the finished
height for service access.
Plinth
The front plinth cover is removable and must not be obstructed by flooring or tiles. If necessary the range
must be raised by the thickness of the tiles to ensure the plinth can be removed.
Rear Wall
Since this appliance runs continuously, please take note of these IMPORTANT instructions:
Combustible Walls
Houses constructed of combustible materials (such as all-timber or stud wall partitions and batoned
plasterboarded walls) require special wall heat protection features.
Non-combustible material behind a range must be of at least 1” (25mm) thick insulation board (Monolux or
equivalent), up to hotplate level.
SPECIAL NOTE: Ensure electric cabling or plastic services do not pass within or on the outside of the wall,
behind or directly above the range.
This type of material can age prematurely when exposed to continuous higher ambient temperature.
Alternatively the range can be spaced 1 1/2” (38mm) away from the wall to create an air gap.
The air gap must be left open and NOT blocked off across the top edge.
Side Clearances
1
A
/8” (3mm) gap is required each side between the range 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 ranges are to be fitted against a side wall a 4 9/16” (116mm) clearance is required on the right and left
hand side 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
3
/8” (10mm), to allow for the walls not being square.
In addition a minimum clearance of 39 3/8” (1000mm) must be available at the front of the range to enable the
range to be serviced.
6
Page 7
Tiling
When the range is to stand in a recess or against a wall which is to be tiled, under no circumstances should
the tiles overlap the range top plate, access to remove the hotplate must be allowed for servicing at a later
date.
3
A gap of at least
/8” (10mm) must be observed from the rear of the top plate and the wall behind the range.
Overhead Cabinets
To eliminate the risk of burns or fires by reaching over hot surface units, cabinet storage space located
above the surface units should be avoided.

CAUTION: BEFORE LIGHTING: ENSURE KNOB (A) IS IN THE OFF POSITION (SEE FIG. 27). ALSO
ENSURE GAS SUPPLY TO RANGE IS ON, AND THE GAS SERVICE COCK (C) IS IN THE ON POSITION
(SEE FIG. 31), AND THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE AGA IS SWITCHED ON.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE - SEE FIGS 15 - 23
1. The main burner gas flow is set with the oven thermostat control knob (B). (See Fig. 14). First, ensure
both knobs are turned fully clockwise. Knob (A) to the OFF position and oven thermostat control knob (B)
to the minimum setting (thin end of the white band).
2. Turn oven gas control knob (A) slightly anti-clockwise towards the IGNITION position () until reaching
stop, press down and hold for 5 seconds (gas flows only to the flame supervision burner). (See Fig. 16).
3. Continue pressing down knob (A) while turning further anti-clockwise to the () position (this activates
the spark ignitor), continue to hold down for 10 seconds after flame supervision burner has been lit. (If it
does not light, steps 2 and 3 can be repeated). (See Fig. 17).
4. Upon lighting, release knob and turn further anti-clockwise to the ON position (large flame symbol) (See
Fig. 18). Pilot gas flows and mains gas flows according to the appliance setting (knob B).
5. Turn the oven thermostat control knob (B) slightly anti-clockwise into the white band (LOW FIRE position).
Leave in the low fire position for at least 60 minutes, (See Fig. 19).
NOTE: ‘LOW FIRE’ position is attained by turning knob (B) gradually into the white band, until a small flame
along the main burner is observed through viewing window (F). (See Fig. 14).
6. After at least 60 minutes rotate control knob (B) anti-clockwise to the mid-position of the green band for
normal running. (See Fig. 20).
NOTE: It will take up to 24 hours for all ovens to reach operating temperature, the oven heat indicator may
display green before this. Once the oven temperatures are at operating temperature it may be necessary
to make fine adjustment to the oven control knob to achieve the desired temperatures. It is not advisable to
make further changes to the control knob once the desired temperature is achieved.
When the range is lit from cold, moisture may form on the enamel which should be wiped off to prevent
staining.
IF THE FLAME HAS EXTINGUISHED FOR WHATEVER REASON, WAIT THREE MINUTES AND
REPEAT THE LIGHTING PROCEDURE.
YEARLY SERVICE
It is recommended that the range be serviced at regular intervals.
Arrange with the home owner that the range has been turned OFF the night before to ensure it is cold upon
arrival.
1.
Turn off power to the range.
2. Isolate the gas supply by turning off the gas shut off valve, See Fig. 14. This is accessed by removing the
control panel facia (4 screws).
3. Break the hexagon union nut and remove two burner fixing screws, See Fig. 14.
4.
Locate electric wires from gas valve and solenoid, disconnect inline connectors.
5. The burner assembly can now be withdrawn from the combustion chamber.
NOTE: Check there is sufficient length of thermostat capillary tube to allow the burner assembly to be rested on a work surface without detaching the sensing end from the top of the roasting oven.
6. Lightly brush the perforated top of the gas burner and check that the burner venturi is free of lint and fluff.
NOTE: IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO DETACH THE FLAME SUPERVISION ASSEMBLY FROM THE BURNER
TO ENSURE IT IS FREE.
21
Page 22
Check the condition of the flame supervision thermocouple tip to ensure it is clean and free of carbon.
7.
Heavy heat oxidised tips should mean the removal of the thermmocouple and a new replacement.
Examine and brush the pilot light parts and examine the ignitor cable to ensure the PTFE insulation
remains intact and is firmly connected to the spark electrode. Clean any carbon away from the electrode.
8. Refit the gas burner assembly in reverse manner.
NOTE: USE SOAPY WATER SOLUTION TO ENSURE THERE ARE NO GAS LEAKS.
9. Inspect and clean vent fan blades, remove debris using a soft brush, access to this fan can be made by
removing the centre shroud (one screw fixing inside top outlet slot).
10. Turn on the gas and electric supply and follow the procedure for lighting the burner.
11. Ensure that the pilot and main burner flame are burning evenly, the thermocouple is enveloped by the
pilot flame.
12. Visually check the main burner and flame supervision flame for correct flame pattern. An established
main burner at high fire will be predominantly blue with yellow tippings on an even height flame strip and
be about 100mm (4in) high. Ensure all flame ports have cross-lit and that the flame supervision flame is
free from sooting.
13. The maximum depth of any cabinets installed above the top cooking surface of the range must not
