Helen Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 We have a pretty new, full size electric fan double oven and hob in the UK that we don't need and a basic electric convection oven with gas hob that both need replacing in France. We have a 6kW monophase electricity supply and are wondering if this would be suitable for the English oven? We have a dishwasher but no freezer and our heating is oil fired. However, we notice that the lights dim temporarily from time to time, usually when another appliance (eg the oven) starts - which is what set us wondering. Any advice would be welcome before we start looking for a French electrician.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Helen, somewhere amonst the cooker info there will be a kw rating if it is less than 6kw it should be ok, more and you need to adapt your supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Many thanks - I should have thought of that myself. Unfortunately, as I like to be able to use several rings on the hob and two ovens at once (Sunday lunch!) it looks from the spec as though it would need far more power supply than we will be inclined to pay for.Guess we'd better stick to the gas hob and think again about the oven.Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Depends on the cooker, my range here in the UK both ovens plug into a 13 amp socket, (less than 3 kw) rings are gas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
