Hi All,
I've just bought a new dual fuel range cooker. I've arranged for a corgi engineer to connect the gas but was going to do the electric side of things myself. I have very little experience working with electrics etc.. so if I say anything too stupid please forgive me.
I currently have a built in electric cooker which runs to a cooker switch on the wall with additional plug socket and then onto the consumer unit were it has its own fuse rated at 30A.
The makers of the new oven have told me that the new cooker requires a 32A supply.
Now if I wish to keep the socket, (used for kettle and toaster), on the cooker switch what Ampage supply would I need? I was thinking maybe 40A. If so can i simply change the fuse on the consumer unit from 30A to 40A. Will cables need changing etc... Is it a bad idea to keep a plug socket on the Cooker supply?
Again apologies for any stupid questions any help appreciated, thanks, Andy
