Power
Fuel Type
If you’re planning to switch fuel type – from gas to electricity, or want to have a gas or dual fuel appliance installed, you’ll need to speak to a Gas Safe registered engineer as currently, we do not offer this service. Our engineers can help with electrical appliances, but you must have the correct supply already in place, and within one metre of where you want the new cooker to go.
What to do if your setup is unsuitable?
Even if your gas cooker has an electric clock, this doesn’t necessarily mean you have the correct electricity supply in place, so always doublecheck.
If you have no electricity supply, including if the supply is over 1 metre away from your desired cooker location, speak with a qualified electrician about the work required.
Amperage
If you’ve chosen an electric hob, make sure you have sufficient power for it. For a traditional plug outlet, your new hob must have a power rating of no more than 13 amps – look for the amperage on our product specifications.
If you have a cooker switch, you can opt for a more powerful, higher rated appliance. As long as the circuit is equal to or above the rating of the hob amperage then it is possible to install.
What to do if your setup is unsuitable?
If you’re not sure of your current setup, try looking at your fuse box. This should tell you the amp rating of your hob circuit, which you can then compare with the amperage of your chosen appliance.
Speak to a qualified electrician if you have any concerns or questions about your power supply.
Space
Measurements
Please check the dimensions of your chosen oven. The space between either side of the cooker and any units must be in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines. You’ll find all the information you need in the product specifications on our website.
What to do if your setup is unsuitable?
We are unable to complete any adjustments on the day. A tradesperson may be required before booking an installation.
Clearance
You also need to check that the clearance between the hob and any cooker hood or kitchen unit above is within the manufacturer’s guidelines. A gas hob will usually need more clearance. Specific manufacturer's guidelines can be found on individual hobs imagery.
What to do if your setup is unsuitable?
If the clearance height is not suitable, the height of the cooker hob or kitchen unit above will need to be adjusted. A tradesperson may be required.
Location
Hot Zone
The area between the hob and hood is known as the ‘hot zone’, and this must be clear of any plug sockets or flammable materials.
- Wallpaper
- Plug Sockets
- Window sills
- Blinds
- Curtains
What to do if your setup is unsuitable?
These must be removed before any installation can go ahead. Depending on the complexity, you may need to book a tradesperson or electrician to carry out the work before booking an installation.
