Aga Cooker Dimensions

Whether you're designing a new kitchen with your Aga as the centrepiece, or installing one of our reconditioned models into an existing space, we're here to help!


Aga Clearance Requirements


There should be a 3-5mm gap either side of your Aga Cooker top plate, and a 10mm gap behind, to allow for airflow, to prevent scorching and to ensure adequate space for removal of the top plate if maintenance is needed at a later date. You see a photo of the ideal finish against a top plate, on our plinths page: www.saltirecookers.com/plinths.


Please ensure that you have clearance for the opening position of the doors and the lids when they are in the raised position.

The height of the Aga cooker with the lids open is 1330mm. If you are installing a plinth under the Aga, increase this clearance height to match.

The Aga oven doors need a minimum clearance of 116mm to open (we recommend 150mm at least).


If your Aga cooker is being installed inside a brick recess, add on 10mm each side to allow for variations in the walls and the castings. The wall behind must be of non-combustible material (aka Fireboard etc from a DIY store) for a minimum thickness of 25mm. The hearth/plinth of the cooker needs to consist of non-combustible material for 12mm thickness.
