DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS
The AGA DC3 arrives on 1 pallet.
The AGA DC5 (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 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 37 3/4” (960mm) off pallet and 43 1/4 ”
(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 Dual Control can be installed as intended with no re-work.
GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

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 range must be raised by the thickness of the tiles to ensure the plinth can be removed.
Rear Wall
The wall behind the range must be of non-combustible material with a minimum thickness of 1”
(25mm).
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
range. If the rear wall is of combustible material there must be a gap of 11/2” (38mm).
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 fitted against a side wall a 4 5/8” (116mm) side 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.
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 1/2” (12mm) must be observed between 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.
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 range hood should be positioned not less than the minimum height as recommended
by the manufacturer, from the top of the AGA.

NOTE: The AGA DC5 hotcupboard should arrive with the top plate in a jacked up position. This
is to allow the complete range 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. 6), slide hotcupboard forwards and away from rear fixing bracket (See Fig. 7).

2. Position the plinth alongside the AGA Dual 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 Dual Control plinth is correct 3/8” (11mm). If necessary,
use shims in each corner to level the plinth.

12. Once the handrail assembly is located squarely, lock the handrail in position by winding in
the grub screws on the underside of each handrail bracket.
13. Once the handrails are locked in position, fit the handrail endcaps. 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 on the end cap ‘O’ rings may ease fitment.
14. Finally, fit the plinth facia to the magnets on the front of the plinth, making sure that on 5
oven ranges the right hand side of the module plinth facia sits against the left hand side
of the AGA Dual Control plinth facia leaving no gap between. Make sure that the plinth facias
are centrally located and do not overhang either range. (See Fig. 17)
Commission the AGA Dual Control, as stated in the relevant Installation Instructions and carry
out functional test on each of the features of the AGA Dual Control.
