Normally, cookers have 16A plugs, 32A plugs, or (often) are hard-wired to a junction box.Whatever, the regs allow you to do it yourself. It isn't gas, is it?

Well, I don't think so. Does 'Ariston' mean 'Gas' in this nonsensical language that's been thrust upon me by my moving here? It came with leads jutting straight out of the main cable thing, thus no plug, which I suppose means i need to look into one of these junction box things does it?

BIG MAC Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi MarkAristo..n is simply a cooker that must be installed by a member of the ruling classes not yet beheaded.I suspect you need to do a bit of research maybe stick an image up here, the experts will no doubt be able to help a lot more than I just have! Bon chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 The previous owner of our house just spliced the cable of the cooker and put an ordinary plug on the end. It worked OK, but you should have heard our electrician swear when he saw it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Trying to be sensible...Look at the plate on the back of the cooker & establish the pwer requirements of the cooker. If it is less than 3600W (or 3.6Kw) it will run from 16A plug. If more, then it must have a 32A supply with either a special plug/socket or a suitable junction box.In either case, it should have a dedicated supply direct from the tableau.
