The following notes are intended to give general guidance:
The initial length of flue pipe from the appliance flue socket should be vertical for at least
600mm (24").
In any event, the minimum flue length must not be less than 3m.
The cross-sectional area of the flue serving the cooker must not be less than the area of the flue
outlet of the cooker.
If the flue pipe is to be used it must not be less than 100mm internal diameter.
Flue pipes and fittings should be constructed from one of the following materials:-
(a) Cement
(b) Aluminium or Stainless Steel
(c) Cast iron or mild steel, acid resistant material enamel lined
If a chimney is to be used it preferably should be one that is composed of or lined with a non-
porous acid resistant material. (Chimneys lined with a salt glazed earthenware pipes are
acceptable if the pipes comply with the regulations in force). A flue pipe constructed from one of
the materials in (a) to (c) above, should form the initial connection to lined chimneys.
Where a chimney is to be used which is not composed of or lined with a non-porous acid
resistant material it should be lined with a stainless steel flexible flue liner. The internal diameter
of the liner must not be less than 100mm and the number of joints must be kept to a minimum.
If the flue liner is not connected directly to the appliance draught diverter a flue pipe which is
constructed from one of the materials in (a) to (c) above should form the connection between the
draught diverter and flue liner.
Before connecting the appliance to or inserting a flue liner into, a flue that has been previously
used, the flue must be thoroughly swept clean of any soot and loose material. If a baffle is fitted
in the flue it must be removed before connecting the appliance to, or inserting a liner into the flue.
The point of termination must not be within 600mm (24") of an openable window, air vent or any
other ventilation opening.
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 of 15mm (1/2") Dia. On
completion test the gas installation for soundness and purge in accordance with the regulations
in force.

Kitchen or Internal Space Air Supply
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.
A metal plate (with square holes), which is provided in the AGA pack, MUST be positioned on
the top runners of the Baking Oven. Slide the plate in fully, until it makes contact with the back
of the oven.
This baffle is a permanent part of the Baking Oven, to regulate the oven temperature.
