CLEARANCES

Side Clearances

• If you are installing a AGA City24 in a new kitchen or have the opportunity to set the width between kitchen or units, it is advisable to include an additional small gap each side of 1/8” (3mm) to assist with installation and prevent damage when moving the product.
• A 15/64” (6mm) additional width clearance should also be provided if the range is to go into a brick recess, to allow for the wall being out of square.
• Where it is installed with a side wall protruding in the front of the range, a 4 9/16” (116mm) clearance is required on the left hand side for oven door access.
• Any side wall above the cooker on either side shall not be less than 3” (75mm) horizontally from the cooker (Fig. 8).
• Combustible surfaces over the top of the range must not be closer than 28” (711mm) and must not exceed 13” (330mm) in depth.
• The vent slot in the back of the top plate must not be obstructed.

Fitting into a 24” (60cm) gap
If you are restricted to a 24” (60cm) with space, the AGA City24 will fit, subject to the following guide. Please refer to Fig. 9A.

The range top plate casting width tapers outwards at its bottom edge. Consequently adjacent cupboard units should have a maximum depth of 23 3/8” (595mm) (including doors). If they are deeper bring the range forward. This will create 1” (25mm) distance from the range front plate to cupboard doors.
The thickness of adjacent worktops should not exceed 1 3/4” (45mm).

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 appliance.
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, and the range can be rolled out for service.

Tiling
When the range is to stand in a recess or against a wall which is to be tiled, in no circumstances should the tiles overlap the range top plate, access to remove the top plate must be allowed for servicing at a later date.

Combustible Rear Walls
Since this range can be used continuously, please take note of the IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS.
Where the rear wall is constructed of combustible materials (such as all- timber or stud wall partitions and batoned plasterboard) these will require special wall heat protection measures.
Non-combustible insulation board as a protective cladding can be used behind the range of at least 5/8” (15mm) thick, such as Monolux or equivalent. This should be taken up to hotplate level. See Fig. 9A.
The 3/16” (5mm) air gap must be left open and NOT blocked off across the top edge. See Fig. 9B.

SPECIAL NOTE: Ensure that unprotected 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 temperature.

Other Clearances
