INSTALLATION  
EX-WORKS  
UNASSEMBLED.  
ASSEMBLY  
IS  
UNDERTAKEN ON SITE BY THE AUTHORISED AGA  
DISTRIBUTOR.  
With specific exceptions, the installing of any type of Aga  
Cooker is subject to the respective directions contained in  
current issue of The Building Regulations. In addition,  
Planning Permission may need to be obtained, which  
should be applied for separately. The complete range of  
Aga cookers are suitable for Natural or Propane gases  
only and cannot be used on any other gas.  
Cooker Base or Hearth  
It is essential that the base or hearth on which the cooker  
stands should be level and be capable of supporting the  
total weight of the respective cooker.  
Models GC and GCB 406Kg, GE and GEB - 584Kg.  
The complete cooker is floor-mounted and the space in  
which the appliance is to be fitted must have the following  
minimum dimensions:-  
The top of the hearth must be of non-combustible material  
thickness of 12mm.  
The wall behind the cooker must be of non-combustible  
material for a minimum thickness of 25mm.  
A minimum clearance of 60mm is required above the  
raised insulating cover handle.  
Tiling  
When the cooker is to stand in a recess, or against a wall  
which is to be tiled, in no circumstances should the tiles  
overlap the cooker top plate.  
Side Clearances: A 3mm gap is required each side  
between the cooker top plate and adjoining work surfaces  
that maybe fitted, this is to allow for the safe removal of  
the top plate should this be required at a later date.  
Installation Requirements  
The installation of the cooker must be in accordance with  
the relevant requirements of the Gas Safety Regulations,  
Building Regulations and the bylaws of the local Water  
Undertaking.  
It should be in accordance also with any relevant  
requirements of the Gas Region and Local Authority.  
Where cookers are fitted against side walls a 116mm  
clearance is required at the right hand side for oven doors  
access. (A further 116mm is necessary if a left hand side  
gas connection is required.  
If the Aga is to be installed in a brick recess, then the  
minimum clearances should be increased by at least  
10mm on either side, to allow for the walls not being  
square and also for the natural dimensional variations  
found in the castings.  
In you own interest, and that of safety to comply with the  
law, all gas appliances should be installed by a competent  
person, in accordance with the relative regulations.  
Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to  
prosecution.  
On completion, test the gas installation for soundness.  
In addition a minimum clearance of 1000mm must be  
available at the front of the cooker to enable the cooker to  
be serviced.  
REMEMBER, when replacing a part on this appliance,  
use only spare parts that you can be assured conform to  
the safety and performance specification that we require.  
Do not use reconditioned or copy parts that have not been  
clearly authorised by AGA.

AIR SUPPLY  
THE HOT WATER SYSTEM  
Kitchen or Internal Space Air Supply  
(Models GCB and GEB Only)  
Where the appliance is to be installed in a kitchen or  
internal space, it does not require the kitchen or internal  
space containing it to have a permanent air vent.  
In a domestic hot water system, the hot water storage  
vessel must be of the indirect cylinder of calorifier type.  
The hot water storage vessel should be insulated,  
preferably, with not less than 75mm thick mineral fibre, or  
its equivalent.  
Pipework not forming part of the useful heating surface  
should be insulated to help prevent heat loss and possible  
freezing, particularly where pipes are run through roof  
spaces and ventilated under floor spaces. Cisterns  
situated in areas which may be exposed to freezing  
conditions should also be insulated.  
INSTALLATION PIPES  
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with  
current Gas Regulations. Pipework from the meter/tank to  
the cooker must be of adequate size, cooker connection  
size of 15mm Dia. On completion test the gas installation  
for soundness and purge in accordance with current Gas  
Regulations.  
Draining taps must be located in accessible positions  
which permit the draining of the whole system, including  
the boiler and hot water storage vessel.  
ELECTRICAL  
Draining taps should be at least 15mm nominal size. The  
use of horizontal pipe runs should be avoided wherever  
possible in order to prevent the collection of air in the  
system. If horizontal runs are unavoidable, the pipes  
should rise upwards in the direction away from the boiler.  
Hot water systems should be in accordance with the  
relevant recommendations.  
A 3Amp 230V~50Hz fused electrical supply is required  
adjacent to the appliance. External wiring to the fan unit  
must be installed using a 3 core heat resisting 85°C PVC  
sheathed cable and in accordance with the current Wiring  
Regulations and any local regulations which apply. The  
wiring should be completed as indicated:  
The method of connection to the mains electricity supply  
must facilitate complete electrical isolation of the  
appliance, preferably by the use of an unswitched  
shuttered socket outlet in conjunction with a fused three  
pin plug. Alternatively, a fused double pole switch, having  
a contact separation of at least 3mm in both poles, serving  
only the appliance may be used.  
Water Circulation System  
(Models GCB and GEB only)  
The cooker boiler should be connected to a cistern water  
supply and subject to a maximum head of 18.25m and  
minimum 1m.  
The 28mm minimum diameter primary flow pipe must rise  
continuously from the cooker boiler to the cylinder to  
ensure good gravity circulation and have an open vent.  
The 28mm diameter primary flow and return pipes must  
not exceed 5.5m in length and be well insulated.  
Water Connections  
(Models GCB and GEB only)  
The two 28mm copper flow and return pipes from the  
boiler can be obtained for right or left hand connections.  
Hot Water Storage Vessel  
It is recommended that an indirect 190 litre (40 gallon) hot  
water storage cylinder of the double feed type should be  
lagged and fixed vertically as near as possible to the  
cooker.  
The water draw-off pipes to the taps must be dead leg  
connection from the vent/expansion pipe.  
A drain tap must be fitted at the lowest point of the  
system.  
Cooker Boiler Heat Exchanger  
The heat exchanger must be connected to a 190 litre (40  
gallon) copper double feed indirect cylinder.
