GENERAL NOTES
3
NOTE: THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE LEFT WITH THE APPLIANCE
AND THE USER TO RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Before installation of an AGA can be made, the site is inspected for suitability by an authorized
AGA distributor and corrected where necessary to conform with local or regional electrical codes.
DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS
The AGA TC3 arrives on 1 pallet.
The AGA TC5 (Hotcupboard Option) arrives on 2 pallets.
There must be access to the kitchen to manipulate a foot print of 39 9/16” (1005mm) x 29 1/8”
(740mm). A wooden template (skate with castor wheels) of dimensions 39 9/16” (1005mm) x
29 1/8” 740mm could be used to check if the AGA Total 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 37 6/8” (960mm) off pallet and 43 2/8”
(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 Total Control can be installed as intended with no re-work.
GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The installation of the range must be in accordance with the relevant requirements of the local
Wiring and Building Regulations. It should be in accordance also with any relevant requirements
of the Local Authority.
In your own interest and that of safety to comply with the law, all appliances should be installed
by an authorized AGA distributor in accordance with the relevant regulations.

Cooker Dimensions
When surveying for a cooker installation the actual clearance required for the ‘body’ of the
appliance should be increased by 3/8” (10mm) 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.

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 finished floor height for service access.
Plinth
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.
Minimum Clearance to Combustibles
A gap of at least 1/2” must be observed between the rear of the top plate, and the wall behind the
appliance. If the rear wall is of combustible material there must be a gap of 1” (25mm).
Side Clearances
A 1/8” (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 4 9/16” (116mm) side 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 3/8” (10mm), to allow for the walls not being square.
In addition a minimum clearance of 39 1/2” (1000mm) must be available at the front of the cooker
to enable the cooker to be serviced.
Tiling
When the cooker is to stand in a recess or against a wall which is to be tiled, under no
circumstances should the tiles overlap the cooker top plate, access to remove the hotplate must
be allowed for servicing at a later date.
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.
Range Hoods
It is recommended that this AGA is fitted with a range hood. The AGA venting system is located
on top of the AGA between the two hotplates, and is designed for venting the moisture from the
ovens. The cooker hood should be positioned not less than the minimum height as
recommended by the manufacturer, from the top of the AGA.

7
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 APPLIANCE.

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 plate 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 the plinth by removing two screws and tongue bracket from plinth
(See Fig. 6). Slide hotcupboard forwards and away from rear fixing bracket (See Fig. 7).
Fig. 6 DESN 516448
Fig. 7 DESN 516449
12

2. Position the plinth alongside the AGA Total Control leaving no gap between the two plinths
(See Fig. 8).
Check with a spirit level that the plinth level is correct, and also check height differential
between the hotcupboard plinth and Total Control plinth is correct 7/16” (11mm). 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 (See Fig. 9).
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,
Fig. 9 DESN 516550
13

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. (See Fig. 10)
When satisfied 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. (See Fig. 11)

Fig. 12 DESN 516552
6. Slide hotcupboard onto plinth until rear tongue bracket engages fully into rear of base slot,
(See Fig. 12). Ensure the appliance is aligned squarely with the plinth then proceed to
engage the front tongue bracket into the slot on the underside of the base plate. Once
satisfied that the front tongue bracket is engaged fully lock it into place by tightening the two
M6 screws fully.
7. The hotcupboard top plate is set 13/64 (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 (See Figs. 13 and 14).
Fig. 13 DESN 516591
15

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. (See Fig. 14).
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.
Fig. 14 DESN 516555
9. Slide the complete handrail assembly over the left hand and centre fixing studs. Once the
assembly has been fitted to the AGA appliance, fit the handrail endcaps (ensuring the
handrail is evenly spaced at each end). The endcaps should be carefully pushed into place
until they sit flush 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 fitment of endcaps into
handrail if required).
The handrail can now be locked into place using the grub screws on the underside of the
handrail brackets.
Finally fit plinth facia onto magnets positioned on plinth, ensuring the facia sits squarely and
centrally.

Once assembly is correctly located, lock into position with grub screws (located on underside
of handrail).
