care must be taken in all-timber houses.
If the oven vent pipe passes through combustible material,
there must be an air gap of at least 25mm around the pipe
and preferably wrapped with insulation material.
The max supply to the motor, as calculated should be limited
to 22V (DC), for ideal operating conditions.
Calculating the voltage for the particular pipework is as
follows:-
1. Keep the pipe run as simple as possible - avoid bends.
2. “Vertical risers” are not permitted.
3. Pipe run should be horizontal - slight downwards slope
towards the fan.
Minimum 12 volts for rst metre of vent pipe run inclusive of
1 bend
Each extra metre add 1 volt.
Each extra bend add 2 volts
Maximum allowed 22 volts.
Minimum setting is 15 volts.

6. Hotcupboard Installation
NOTE: The AGA TC5 hotcupboard should arrive with the top
plate in a jacked up position. This is to allow the complete
appliance to be slid onto its plinth when alongside the AGA
TC3 without the top plates clashing. The hotcupboard top
plate should then be wound down to its correct height once
the appliance is in its nal position.
1. Detach hotcupboard from plinth by removing two
screws and tongue bracket from plinth (Fig. 6.1),
slide hotcupboard forwards and away from rear xing
bracket (Fig. 6.2).
2. Position the plinth alongside the AGA Total Control
leaving no gap between the two plinths (Fig. 6.3).
Check with a spirit level that the plinth level is correct,
and also check height dierential between the
hotcupboard plinth and Total Control plinth is correct
(11 mm). If necessary, use shims in each corner to level
the plinth.

3. Attach hotcupboard plinth to the AGA Total Control
plinth using M6 screws and washers provided (Fig.
6.4). Attach locking screw and jacking screw into
plinth. Make sure at this stage that the jacking screw
does not protrude beyond outer face of plinth. Ensure
locking screw is located into AGA TC3 plinth but not
fully tightened. A gap of approximately 3mm should
be present between the plinths apart from at the very
front where the hotcupboard spacer plate should be
touching the AGA TC3 plinth.
4. Run a straight edge along the front of the AGA Total
Control plinth, to ensure the front face of both plinths
sit squarely against the straight edge (Fig. 6.5). When
satised both plinths sit squarely, jacking screws can
be tightened until they just make contact with the AGA
Total Control plinth, and locking screws can now be
tightened.
5. Front jointing bracket can now be hooked into place
over the two pot magnets. This will latch the two plinths
together (Fig. 6.6).

6. Slide hotcupboard onto plinth until rear tongue bracket
engages fully into rear of base slot, (Fig. 6.7). Ensure
the appliance is aligned squarely with the plinth then
proceed to engage the front tongue bracket into the
slot on the under side of the base plate. Once satised
that the front tongue bracket is engaged fully lock it
into place by tightening the two M6 screws fully. Ensure
that the electrical cable does not come into contact
with oven vent pipe from the AGA TC3.
7. The hotcupboard top plate is set 5mm higher than the
AGA Total Control top plate. This is to prevent damage
to the enamel during installation. Lower the top plate
using the adjusters (Fig. 6.8 and Fig. 6.9).
8. Using the stay rod nut adjusting tool, carefully lower
the top plate adjusting nuts until the top plate sits at
the required height, making sure that the top sits level
and matches the height of the AGA TC3 (Fig. 6.9). For
servicing requirement, top plate should be removed by
raising adjusters approximately 5mm, the top plate can
now be removed easily without causing damage to the
enamelled surfaces. When removing the top plate, the
switch wiring harness should be disconnected from the
main wiring harness at the connection point located at
the front left hand side of the appliance, beneath the
formex cover sheet.

tted to the AGA appliance, t the handrail endcaps
(ensuring the handrail is evenly spaced at each end).
The endcaps should be carefully pushed into place until
they sit ush with the outside face of each bracket. (A
light smear of lubricant, such as washing up liquid can
be applied to the end cap rubber ‘O’rings to aid tment
of endcaps into handrail if required) Fig. 6.10.
The handrail can now be locked into place using the
grub screws on the underside of the handrail brackets
Fig. 6.10.
Finally t plinth facia onto magnets positioned on
plinth, ensuring the facia sits squarely and centrally Fig.
6.10.
