APPLIANCE DIMENSIONS - AGA DC3G
Fig. 1 DESN 516847 A
Range Dimensions
When surveying for a range installation the actual clearance required for the ‘body’ of the appliance should
be increased by 3/8” beyond the figures quoted above. This allows safe margin to take into account the
natural dimensional variations found in major castings. In particular the width across the appliance recess
could be critical.

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 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.

TECHNICAL DATA
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.

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.
A gap of at least 3/8” (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.

8
NOTE:ANY OVERHEAD FITTED
CABINETS MUST NOT EXCEED 13” PROJECTED DEPTH ABOVE THE RANGE. DIM ‘D’ TO BE NOT LESS THAN THE NORMAL WIDTH OF THE RANGE.
