Hi all.
Brand-newbie here looking for some genuine help and advice. I'm after some assistance on a cooker/switch issue.
We had an old dual fuel cooker removed and a gas one installed. The old cooker was wired to the electric spur(?) in the wall behind which ran up to the cooker switch.
The new cooker (ZANUSSI - ZKG5540XFN) albeit gas powered has an electronic timer/clock. The lovely chaps from Currys wouldn't hardwire the cooker into the wall where the old one was wired as the cooker has a fitted plug. They just plugged it into a socket which means the power cord is in the way.
My question is: Am I able to just remove the plug from the cooker and wire it into the wall where the old spur(?) is? This is still connected to the cooker switch on the wall. I want the cooker to be connected to the cooker on/off switch properly.
I have been told I need a 3amp fuse in this spur socket. I don't see why as the cooker has it's own fuse on main the fuse box. The new cooker isnt electric so its really just the electronic timer/oven light etc that is being powered.
I appreciate your kind help.
Thanks
Simon
