Hello I'm in the process of planning a new kitchen, and would be grateful for some information about how to install several cooking appliances. I currently have one electrical cooking appliance - a Moffat MSF615 (rated at 2000w I think, but I may be wrong). I intend to install a ceramic...

Since I moved into my new house, I've had a problem with the water temperature either wildly fluctuating or no hot water at all. I had the boiler checked out, the chap told me the domestic heat exchanger (dhe) needed replacing, suggested I fit a magnaclean and try some X400 to prevent the...

Hi FYI, page numbers refered to here are pdf page numbers, NOT the page numbers shown at the foot of each reproduced page of the manual. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS is the manual for my boiler. Page 34 shows how to install a...

After 'correct installation', third row down. Thanks all for your replies. I should be able to manage now. :)

Thanks for the reply, appreciate your comments. I've now bought a new valve, instructions here. I'm still none the wiser. On one hand the instructions say that 'either head orientation can be achieved on both the flow or return of the radiatior' but on the other 'valves should be mounted...

That's exactly what I need thanks very much. Sorry I didn't see it myself.

Not to add extra sockets. I'm just trying to demonstrate that I've done similar work, and that I'm able to do this job safely with a little help. The fused spur was for a security light I put up.

Hi I have one double electrical socket in my bedroom, but want to add another. In the past, I've wired in fused spurs to existing sockets, but in this case, I want to wire it into the electrical loop, but I'm not entirely sure of how this is arranged. Could someone explain how I do this...

A while ago, I fitted thermostatic valves to all the radiators in my house. All the radiators work ok (in that they switch on and off ok - They vary in degree of warmth, but thats another problem :) ) except for one. The radiator in the spare room will NOT turn off, even when I remove the...

OK, point taken - Silicone it is :D

Thanks for both suggestions. Jasonb - I have the correct grout for the job. :) I'm using a limestone coloured grout, and would rather not have any visible silicon - The tiles are cut stone and I'm not sure I would be able to run a nice clean, even bead. I was thinking - the tiles are...

Hi I'm about to start tiling my kitchen walls with a rough stone 'tile'. I've seen a sample with a gap between tiles of about 10mm, and I am doing the same. I'm not sure about tiling up to the worktop. I asume that I don't tile right up to the worktop, but rather leave room for a line of...

Yes, but as I said before, I haven't been able to find anything relating to ratings of this size. :wink:

**** that was a quick reply!!! :shock: Thanks very much! I've worked out that the hob would draw around 27A, and the oven around 24A. I assume from your suggestion that you would consider it safe for either / both of these items to be protected by the single 45A fuse from the supply...

Sorted. :) Thanks for your suggestions BAHCO. I was able to move the existing waste pipes to one side so that they are no longer behind the applicance. All the pipes & traps are concealed behind a base unit. Thanks again.

I am replacing a combined oven & hob with seperate oven & hob. The new appliances are rated 6.5kw (hob) & up to 5.8kw (double oven). The existing supply is currently 45A. I have my doubts as to whether I can connect to a single 45A supply, and would welcome any advice you could give me on...

Thanks for your reply. The appliances are not yet fitted. The kitchen is empty. I am trying to do the job properly - Thats why I am asking for advice. :wink: I am having to work with the existing hole I already have in the wall - I don't want to open any more holes in the wall. The...

Hi I need to plumb in the drainage for a washing machine and dish washer. Problem is that they are integrated units and there isn't enough room at the back for the waste pipes. There is a small 'cutout' of about 200mm high at the bottom of the back of the appliances for such pipes, but...
