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 890 lbs. The base of the built-in AGA
plinth must be level and sit above the nished height for
service access.
Plinth
The front plinth cover is removable and must not be
obstructed by ooring or tiles. If necessary the range must be
raised by the thickness of the tiles to ensure the plinth can be
removed.
Handrail Extension
The handrail can be extended by connecting the additional
handrail tment to accommodate a 5 oven or 7 oven range
see Fig. 6.16 on page 19.
Installation
Side Clearances
A 1/8” (3mm) gap is required each side between the range
top plate and adjoining work surfaces that may be tted, 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 tted 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.
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 res by reaching
over hot surface units, cabinet storage space located
above the surface units should be avoided.
