The AGA DC3 arrives on 1 pallet
The AGA DC5 (Hotcupboard) arrives on 2 pallets.
There must be access to the kitchen to manipulate a foot print of 1005mm x 740mm. A wooden template (skate with castor
wheels) of dimensions 1005mm x 740mm could be used to check if the AGA Dual Control fully built appliance is able to fit
through the property grounds and doors into its installation position in the kitchen. It must also be considered that the height
of the appliance is 960mm off pallet and 1100mm on the pallet, so high level obstacles/restrictions must not be overlooked.
If this skate/template can be manipulated through the property grounds and doors into position, then the AGA can
be installed as intended with no re-work.

TECHNICAL DATA
CLEARANCES
The complete cooker is floor-mounted and the space in which the appliance is to be fitted must have the following minimum
dimensions:-
A minimum clearance of 60mm is required above the raised insulating cover handle.
Side Clearances: A 3mm gap is required each side between the cooker 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 cookers are fitted against side walls a 116mm clearance is required on the right and 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 10mm,
to allow for the walls not being square.
In addition, a minimum clearance of 1000mm must be available at the front of the cooker to enable the cooker to be
serviced.
Cooker Base or Hearth
It is essential that the base or hearth on which the cooker stands should be level and be capable of supporting the total
weight of the appliance. The base of the built-in AGA plinth must be level and sit above finished floor height for service
access.
The front plinth cover is removable and must not be obstructed by flooring or tiles. If necessary the cooker must be raised
by the thickness of the tiles to ensure the plinth can be removed.
Tiling
When the cooker is to stand in a recess or against a wall which is to be tiled, in no circumstances should the tiles overlap
the cooker top plate, access to remove the top plate must be allowed for servicing at a later date.
A gap of at least 10mm must be observed from the rear of the top plate, and the wall behind the appliance.
6
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 walls behind a cooker must be of at least 25mm thick insulation board ( onolux 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 cooker.
This type of material can age prematurely when exposed to continuous higher ambient temperature.

Top Plate Adjustment - AGA DC3 (See Fig. 3)
In general, adjustment of the top plate is to be avoided. However minimum use of the top plate adjusters can be used to
improve the alignment of the top plate.

HOTCUPBOARD INSTALLATION
Fig. 11 DESN 516448
Fig. 12 DESN 516449
NOTE: The AGA DC5 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 DC3 without the top plates clashing. The hotcupboard top plate
should then be wound down to its correct height once the appliance is in its final position.
1. Detach hotcupboard from plinth by removing two screws and tongue bracket from plinth (See Fig. 11), slide
hotcupboard forwards and away from rear fixing bracket (See Fig. 12).

18
2. Position the plinth alongside the AGA Dual Control leaving no gap between the two plinths (See Fig. 13).
Check with a spirit level that the plinth level is correct, and also check height differential between the hotcupboard plinth
and Dual Control plinth is correct (11mm). If necessary, use shims in each corner to level the plinth.

3. Attach hotcupboard plinth to the AGA Dual Control plinth using 6 screws and washers provided (See Fig. 14).
Attach locking screw and jacking screw into plinth. ake sure at this stage that the jacking screw does not protrude
beyond outer face of plinth. Ensure locking screw is located into AGA DC3 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 DC3 plinth.
