The weights quoted below are approximate and spread across the full area of the cooker’s solid base-plate, as shown. Note the exception with the electric models, which have their heat store resting separately on the hearth.

• The hearth or floor below the Aga must be strong enough to carry these weights as well as the extra weight of any plinth or slab used.
• If the kitchen floor is suspended, it may require additional support underneath. Please check with your builder or a structural engineer.
• The hearth must be also be non-combustible for a minimum thickness, dependent on the fuel type. See also the individual site requirements pages.
• Any plinth or hearth must be absolutely level in all directions.
