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 aluminium tape.
• When installing an AGA eR7 150-5 which is venting to the left-hand side, care must always be taken to ensure the vent pipe is fully lagged (using the 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 installations with a hot cupboard.

Oven venting systems

See Fig. 2.8

• 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 metre of vent pipe run inclusive of 1 bend

• For each extra metre 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 hot cupboard should arrive with the top plate in a jacked-up position (except for induction top versions which will arrive with the top fully wound down). This is to allow the complete appliance to be slid onto its plinth when alongside the AGA eR7 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.

For induction top versions the top plate adjusters will need to be wound upwards before the hot cupboard can be fitted onto its plinth, to provide adequate clearance between the two top plates.

1. Detach the hot cupboard from the plinth by removing two screws and the tongue bracket from the plinth (Fig. 3.1), and slide the hot cupboard forwards and away from the rear fixing bracket (Fig. 3.2).

2. Position the plinth alongside the AGA eR7 leaving no gap between the two plinths (Fig. 3.3).
   Check with a spirit level that the plinth level is correct, and also check height differential between the hot cupboard plinth and AGA eR7 plinth is correct 7/16 “ (11 mm). If necessary, use shims in each corner to level the plinth.

3. Attach the hotcupboard plinth to the AGA eR7 plinth using the M6 screws and washers provided (Fig. 3.4). Attach the locking screw into the plinth.

4. Run a straight edge along the front of the AGA eR7 plinth, to ensure the front face of both plinths sit squarely against the straight edge. (Fig. 3.5)

5. The front jointing bracket can now be hooked into place over the two pot magnets. This will latch the two plinths together. (Fig. 3.6)

6. Slide the hotcupboard onto the plinth until the rear tongue bracket engages fully into the rear of the base slot, (Fig. 3.7). 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.

7. The hot cupboard top plate is set 3/16 “ (5mm) higher than the AGA eR7 top plate. This is to prevent damage to the enamel during installation. Lower the top plate using the adjusters (Fig. 3.8 and Fig. 3.9).

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 eR7. (Fig. 3.9).

   • For servicing requirements, the top plate should be removed by raising adjusters approximately 3/16 “ (5mm), the top plate can now be removed easily without causing damage to the enamelled 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. Fit the handrail bracket over the fixing stud located on the top plate. Lock into position by tightening the grub screw nearest the appliance. (Fig. 3.10).

10. Next, the handrail, endcaps and handrail require assembly. Slide the handrail through the handrail brackets.

11. On 5 oven appliances, fit the ‘all-thread’ stud into the threaded end of the handrail, then feed the handrail through the bracket (ensuring that the all-thread stud is protruding from the right-hand side of the hot cupboard handrail) and screw the handrails together. (Fig. 3.12).

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 appliances, the right-hand side of the module plinth facia sits against the left-hand side of the AGA eR7 plinth facia leaving no gap between. Make sure that the plinth facias are centrally located and do not overhang either appliance. (Fig. 3.12)

Commission the AGA eR7, as stated in the relevant Installation Instructions and carry out functional tests on each of the features of the AGA eR7.
