Hi, We've just had a new kitchen fitted and have a nice shiney hob and cooker to go in.
The hob is gas and has already been fitted, but needs the electrics plugging in for the ignition. The oven is a single electric fan oven.
We used to have the same configuration, gas hob and electric oven. Both of these were connected to a round input plate on the wall behind the oven, which was then wired with thick cable to the cooker switch above the worktop.
We have installed a new cooker switch (to include a 3pin plug on the side of it), but have not changed any of the wiring other than that.
The question is, is it safe for the new hob and oven to be wired in to the existing appliance input plate behind the oven, or should these be fused before they get back to the main cooker switch above the worktop.
Thanks for any help, and sorry for the non technical description.
