can i install a 50w cooker into standard plug socket?

[baxxy]

Hi
I have a 50w single oven, 4 hobs, it is only small, 50 cm wide.
To be fair, i don't even cook much, so will this fit into a standard plug socket or do i have to pay an extra £200 to get a 30A socket installed?

Thanks

oh FFS...

50w isn't even enough to warm up a cup of tea...

what is the proper wattage of it?

it will be in the KW range..

is it even electric?

Ah, good point, not sure where i got 50w from.

The back page of the manual says Max. Oven Power Consumption 1950 w

Typo?

1950 w

and yes you can

There is no mention of wattage for the Hobs though, or is this minor compared to the oven?

The actual cooker is here if it helps

As it's an electric hob, you still have a problem.

Typical electric hotplates are between 1 and 2 KW each, so with four hotplates and the oven, that could be about a 6 to 8 KW total load. That's around 30 Amps, far too much for a 13 Amp plug to cope with!

no it doesnt

read all the manual and see what else it says. if that fails call the makers.

Follow the link below and looking at the instruction booklet says the rating of the oven is 1950W, but the four rings total another 5800W so unfortunateley a 30A supply is the only way to go.

50w = 50 Wide, as in the size of the appliance?

Whether you cook much or not, you need a new circuit installing for it. That could cost £200, or it could just as easily be less or more.

1) Why do appliance manufacturers make it so hard to find out a simple, but unbelievably important fact about their products?

2) baxxy - do you not have gas available?
