Side Clearances
If you are installing the appliance in a new kitchen or have
the opportunity to set the width between kitchen units, it
is advisable to include an additional small gap each side of
3mm to assist with installation and prevent damage when
moving the product.
A 6mm additional width clearance should also be provided if
the appliance is to go into a brick recess, to allow for the wall
being out of square.
Where it is installed against a side wall protruding in the front
of the appliance a 116mm clearance is required on the left
hand side for the oven door access.
Any side wall above the appliance on either side shall not be
less than 60mm horizontally from the appliance (Fig. 12.1).
Surfaces over the top of the appliance must not be closer
than 650mm.
The vent slot in the back of the top plate must not be
obstructed.
Fitting into a 60cm gap
If you are restricted to a 60cm width space, the AGA 60 will t,
subject to the following guide (Fig. 12.2).
The appliance top plate casting width tapers outwards at its
bottom edge. Consequently adjacent cupboard units should
have a maximum depth of 595mm (including doors). If they
are deeper, bring the appliance forward.
The thickness of adjacent worktops should not exceed 45mm.
Appliance Base or Hearth
It is essential that the base or hearth on which the appliance
stands should be level and be capable of supporting the total
weight of the appliance.
The front plinth cover is removable and must not be
obstructed by ooring or tiles. If necessary the appliance
must be raised by the thickness of the tiles to ensure the
plinth can be removed, and the appliance can be rolled out
for service.
Tiling
When the appliance is to stand in a recess or against a wall
which is to be tiled, in no circumstances should the tiles
overlap the appliance top plate, access to remove the top
plate must be allowed for servicing at a later date.
Option Pre-heat Timer Kit (AE4M231659)
If the optional pre-heat timer kit is tted allowances must be
made for timer location and the cable between the timer and
appliance. Timer cable is 4 metres.
