13amp? cooker socket

[ashlovescars]

Hi all,

Just moved into a council property and found this as the set up for the electrical points for the oven in the Kitchen...

I've not seen a set up like this for a long while, does anyone know what I need to look at oven wise for this? It has a gas point but I'm not looking to fit that again due to costs of running a gas oven, I just want a bog standard Free Standing 3 pin Oven. Does such a thing even exist anymore??

Failing that, does anyone know how much roughly and what would need doing to put in a standard oven connection in wired up to the fused(?) switch at the top of the cupboard?

The orange switch turns the socket on, the other ones don't work(?) and I'm not sure what the other blank socket is for at all.

Many thanks.

Is the blank plate to the right of the socket actually a cooker flex outlet?

you can get just an oven with a 13A plug.

If you want a cooker (4 plates, oven, grill), then you would wire that into the "blank" cooker outlet

It certainly looks like one to me. The angle of the plate allows for the cable going to the cooker to exit it, at the bottom.

OP, if you undo the screws in the blank plate that's on the right hand side of the single-socket-without-a-switch, there will be a row of three terminals inside. Connect your new cooker to here. It will be controlled by the orange switch in your first picture.

Post a picture of it, if unsure.

Obviously, turn the power off first
