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 appliance. The base of the built-in AGA plinth must be level and sit above finished floor height for service access.
Top Plate Adjustment - AGA DC3 (See Fig. 3) In general, adjustment of the top plate is to be avoided. However minimum use of the top plate adjusters can be used to improve the alignment of the top plate. Fig. 3...

Reseal pipe connection with aluminium tape. When installing a AGA DC5 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 hotcupboard, ensure that the mains cable is kept away from the hot surface of the vent pipe.
It is recommended that this model is fitted in conjunction with a cooker hood. The AGA oven venting outlet is located on the top of the AGA between the two hotplates., and is designed for venting the moisture from the ovens. The cooker hood should be positioned not less than the minimum height as recommended by the manufacturer, from the top of the AGA.
OVEN VENTING SYSTEMS See Fig. 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.
NOTE: The AGA DC5 hotcupboard 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 DC3 without the top plates clashing. The hotcupboard top plate should then be wound down to its correct height once the appliance is in its final position.

2. Position the plinth alongside the AGA Dual Control leaving no gap between the two plinths (See Fig. 11). Check with a spirit level that the plinth level is correct, and also check height differential between the hotcupboard plinth and Dual Control plinth is correct (11mm). If necessary, use shims in each corner to level the plinth.

4. Run a straight edge along the front of the AGA Dual Control plinth, to ensure the front face of both plinths sit squarely against the straight edge. (See Fig. 13) When satisfied both plinths sit squarely, jacking screws can be tightened until they just make contact with the AGA Dual Control plinth, and locking screws can now be tightened.

Fig. 15 DESN 516552 7. The hotcupboard top plate is set 5mm higher than the AGA Dual Control top plate. This is to prevent damage to the enamel during installation. Lower the top plate using the adjusters (See Figs. 16 & 17).

9. Slide the complete handrail over the left hand, right 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.
HANDRAIL CONNECTION - AGA DC3 Fig. 19 DESN 516560 Handrail brackets, endcaps and handrail require assembly. Locate endcaps onto handrail, place brackets over endcaps and then slide complete assembly onto locating studs. Once assembly is correctly located, lock into position with grub screws (located on underside...
