Installing a range cooker...

BeckyLH01

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone will be able to give me some advice.

I've just bought a new range and it needs installing, including installing a new cooker circuit as the last one was all gas.

It's this cooker...

I've not settled on the electrician yet as I've had varying advice from them! My dad is a sparky but retired.

From what I can gather I'll need a 63A breaker at the consumer unit. I've been told 10mm twin and earth is not good enough though. There is also no cable supplied with the cooker, this is the recommendation...



But I've been told this is not readily available and most sparkies would just use twin and earth from the isolator switch. Is this right?

Any advice would be most appreciated!!

Thank you!

I wouldn't worry about it. Sparks will have the correct cable on the back of his van (or if he doesn't he'll know where to get it).

I had a new duel fuel range cooker last year.. as my old one was all gas I also had to have the electrics done..
They do not supply cables and gas fittings with the cookers as there are now so many regulations!
Just get your electrician in and he will be able to lay his hands onto all that is needed xx
