CLEARANCES
The complete range is floor mounted and the space in which the appliance is to be fitted must have the following minimum
dimensions:-
A minimum clearance of 2
3
/8” (60mm) is required above the raised insulating cover handle.
Side Clearances
A 1/8” (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 fitted against side walls a 4
9
/16” (116mm) clearance is required on the left hand side for oven doors
access.
If the AGA is to be installed in a brick recess, then the minimum clearance should be increased by at least 1/8” (6mm), to
allow for the walls not being square.
In addition, a minimum clearance of 39
5
/8” (1000mm) must be available at the front of the ranges to enable the ranges to
be serviced.
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 appliance.
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, and the range can be rolled out for service.
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 top plate must be allowed for servicing at a later date.

Since this appliance can be used 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 walls behind a range must be of at least 1/4” (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.
