INSTALLATION SEQUENCE AND PROCEDURE
Installation must be to Local and National Wiring Regulations and carried out by a Qualified
Engineer.
Having ensure all space requirements and regulations have been satisfied for the combined
arrangement (AGA Total Control and Module), the build and installation is to proceed as follows:-
1. It is essential that the base or hearth on which both cooker and module stands should be
level and capable of supporting the total weight of both units.
Module weight = 129kgs AGA Total Control weight = 370kgs
2. Unpack and remove Module from pallet.
3. Attach front and rear tongue brackets (including spacer plate under rear bracket) to plinth
using M6 screws and washers provided. (Front bracket screws should be left loose until
module is in its final position). Screw two pot magnets onto front of plinth (See Fig. 4).

4. Position the Module plinth alongside the AGA Total Control leaving no gap between the two
plinths. (See Fig. 5).
Check with a spirit level that the plinth level is correct, and also check height differential
between the Module plinth and Total Control plinth is correct (11mm). If necessary, use the
adjusting studs in each corner to level the plinth. In extreme instances, shims may be used
underneath the module plinth.
