Aga Cooker Dimensions

If you're designing a new kitchen or planning an Aga Range cooker for your current setup, the first step is measuring up to make sure you have the space!

Clearance Requirements


There should be a 3mm gap either side of the Aga Range cooker and a 10mm gap behind to allow airflow, prevent scorching and to ensure safe removal of the top plate if needed at a later date. Please ensure that you have clearance for the opening position of the doors and the lids when they are in the raised position. Height of the cooker with the lids open is 1330mm. The oven doors need a minimum clearance of 116mm to open (we recommend 150mm at least).


If your 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.
