Hi,
We have had a new kitchen extension done and put in completely new electrical wiring. However a kitchen company came out a couple of days ago and said that they think we might have laid down the wrong wire for the duel fuel range cooker. This has put me in a real panic as the floor has all now been laid down and walls plastered!
He said that a DFT range usually requires its own dedicated electrical feed from the consumer box. However I am looking at the specification of the range we are likely to go for and I cant figure out whether a dedicated feed would be required. This is the likely product http://www.stoves.co.uk/Range-Cookers/Sterling-900DFT/ (if you goto 'specification' it mentions a bit about electrical requirements)
I have just spoke to my electrician who was not very clear, or helpful to be honest. However he did say that the new wiring is 32A, which seems as if it might be OK for this cooker, even though it doesnt have its own dedicated feed.
Is anyone able to please offer me any advice on this? Do you think what we have installed seems sufficient? I am obviously looking to avoid ripping up the floor boards at this stage!
Many thanks!
