I am currently in the process of changing a free standing cooker with an under the counter single oven and gas hob.
The new cooker is being located in the same place as the old, with the hob directly above it. The current electrics run to the right hand side and consist of a 45A DP switch with a low level cooker connection unit. I do not have a socket to plug the gas hob into for the ignition.
The plan is to place a 45A cooker control unit with a 13A switched socket between the DP switch and the current connection unit. The new cooker would be wired into the original connection unit. The gas hob ignition plugged into the new connection unit with socket. The gas hob flex is located to the left of the unit and may need extending.
Is this OK?
Alternatively could I place a 45A FCU between the DP switch and current cooker connection and run a spur socket over to the left of the cooker for the hob. This would save extending the flex. The FCU would have a fuse rated for the ignition.
