tadaa... easy huh?...
any way, to the point..
that cooker switch has seen better days ( might be worth changing it for a nice stainless one to match the new cooker ), as well as the "exposed" cooker outlet below which needs seeing to..
it's also not in an ideal place right above the cooker itself ( which it looks like it is from the pics.. )..
you have several options..
1. you could change the fuse / breaker in the fuse board for a 6 or 10A one and connect the igniter to the cooker outlet plate
2. leave it as it is and plug it into the socket with a suitable sized fuse in the plug ( 3A at a guess )
3. change the cooker outlet plate for a fused spur ( or unswitched socket ) and wire ( or plug ) the igniter into this..
option 1 would require a part P registered electrician or a fee payable to the LABC..
option 2 is the easiest but leaves you with an unsightly ( and most probably dangerous ) plug above the cooker ( wider angle picture showing the whole cooker area required )
option 3 is the best if you can change the cooker switch to one without a socket.. ( not entirely sure you can get horizontal cooker switches without a socket..??? )
personally I'd go for option 3 as it takes care of the "exposed" cooker outlet which needs to be done anyway..
