MAINS CABLE ROUTING – AGA TC3

MAINS CABLE ROUTING – AGA TC5 (HOT CUPBOARD OPTION)

VENT PIPE CONNECTION

• The appliance is shown with the oven venting from the RH side.
• To gain access remove the rear panel (6 screws).
• It can also be vented from the LH side, by rotating the copper elbow 180° before fitting the vent pipe.
• It can also be vented from the rear using a 45° fitting and exiting through a hole in the back panel.
• Reseal pipe connection with aluminum tape.
• When installing an AGA TC5 which is venting to the left-hand side, care must always be taken to ensure the vent pipe is fully lagged (using insulation provided).
• Where the vent pipe passes behind the hot cupboard, ensure that the main cable is kept away from the hot surface of the vent pipe.
• Rear or right-hand venting is preferable on AGA TC5 installations.

OVEN VENTING SYSTEMS See Fig. 6

The appliance oven venting pipe can be achieved up to a maximum length of 6 metres, through an outside wall. Great care must be taken in all-timber houses. If the oven vent pipe passes through combustible material, there must be an air gap of at least 25mm around the pipe and preferably wrapped with insulation material. The max supply to the motor, as calculated should be limited to 22V (DC), for ideal operating conditions.

Calculating the voltage for the particular pipework is as follows:

1. Keep the pipe run as simple as possible – avoid bends.
2. “Vertical risers” are not permitted.
3. The pipe run should be horizontal – a slight downward slope towards the fan.
   • Minimum 12 volts for the first meter of vent pipe run inclusive of 1 bend
   • For each extra meter add 1 volt.
   • For each extra bend add 2 volts
   • Maximum allowed 22 volts.
   • The minimum setting is 15 volts.

NOTE: IN THE OVEN VENTING, PROVISION MUST BE MADE FOR EASY ‘RODDING’ OF THE PIPEWORK TO FACILITATE CLEANING.

HOTCUPBOARD INSTALLATION

NOTE: The AGA TC5 hot cupboard 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 plates clashing. The hot cupboard top plate should then be wound down to its correct height once the appliance is in its final position.

1. Detach the hot cupboard from the plinth by removing two screws and the tongue bracket from the plinth (See Fig. 7), and slide the hot cupboard forwards and away from the rear fixing bracket (See Fig. 8).
2. Position the plinth alongside the AGA Total Control leaving no gap between the two plinths (See Fig. 9). Check with a spirit level that the plinth level is correct, and also check height differential between the hot cupboard plinth and Total Control plinth is correct (11mm). If necessary, use shims in each corner to level the plinth.
3. Attach the hot cupboard plinth to the AGA Total Control plinth using the M6 screws and washers provided (See Fig. 10). Attach the locking screw and jacking screw into the plinth. Make sure at this stage that the jacking screw does not protrude beyond the outer face of the plinth. Ensure the locking screw is located into the 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 hot cupboard spacer plate should be touching the AGA TC3 plinth.
4. Run a straight edge along the front of the AGA Total Control plinth, to ensure the front faceof both plinths sit squarely against the straight edge. (See Fig. 11) 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. The front jointing bracket can now be hooked into place over the two pot magnets. This will latch the two plinths together. (See Fig. 12)
6. Slide the hot cupboard onto the plinth until the rear tongue bracket engages fully into the rear of the base slot, (See Fig. 13). 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. Ensure that the electrical cable does not come into contact with the oven vent pipe from the AGA TC3.
7. The hot cupboard top plate is set 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. 14 and 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. 15). For servicing requirements, the top plate should be removed by raising adjusters approximately 5mm, the top plate can now be removed easily without causing damage to the enameled 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 former cover sheet.
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.

HANDRAIL CONNECTION – AGA TC3

• Handrail brackets, endcaps, and handrails require assembly.
• Locate endcaps onto the handrail, place brackets over endcaps, and then slide the complete assembly onto locating studs.
• Once the assembly is correctly located, lock it into position with grub screws (located on the underside of the handrail).
