Do I need a cooker circuit into the kitchen?

niklam

Hi there - I do hope someone can help me

We are looking to replace our old diplomat range cooker (dual fuel) with a a stove richmond duel fuel. Now the old diplomat one could just be plugged into a normal socket - and we dont have a cooker circuit in the kitchen. Can the richmond be plugged in the same way or will i have to have a proper cooker circuit installed? The old cooker is dying so will need to replace soon.

Thanks for any help

You would need a separate cooker circuit. Consult a properly qualified electrician, one who is registered either with NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA.

Thanks for that

So if we decided to go for the full gas model rather than the duel fuel we wouldnt need a cooker circuit?

Thanks

a gas one should just plug in to power the ignition, clock etc
