cooker installation

For electric cookers:

• Please check your connection.

You will need the right supply outlet for your appliance. 

For electrical and duel fuel appliance, there needs to be a suitable outlet within 2 meters of the appliance location. 

You’ll also need a suitably sized outlet, for example; a 32 amp cooker outlet plate, with isolation switch for appliances, including freestanding electric cookers that are rated greater than 3kw.

A 13 amp socket or switched fused spur will be required for single electrical cookers that are rated less than 2.99kw (depending on manufacturers recommendations)  

If you have a duel fuel appliance or you are changing from gas to electric, let us know so we can send a Gas Safe Registered engineer. 

For gas cookers:

Make sure there is a live gas supply within 1.5 metres of the appliance location and within the same room. Please note: even if you have gas central heating, it doesn't mean there is a gas supply to the cooker. 

Please make sure you have direct ventilation to the outside via a window, door or extractor fan. 

Gas cookers with ignition systems and timers require a 13 amp supply. Please make sure one is available within 1.5 metres if applicable.

If you're in an area that uses LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas, in red or blue cylinders outside your house, or a bulb tank that's filled by your gas supplier), you'll need to check the cooker you use can be converted to LPG by one of our Gas Safe engineers.

Please contact us on 01422 357101 to discuss your specific requirements.

Check the environment

• Please make sure

That there is no combustible material behind the cooker location. For example, for dual fuel cookers, the area directly above a gas burners must not have any power points, switches, boilers, or alarm sensors. Additionally, there must not be any flammable material such as wallpaper, wood, fabric wall coverings, curtains, or shelving.
