I'm due to move in to a new build flat at the end of August, they were meant to be wired up for electric cookers, but there is no hard wiring point just a double socket where cooker goes, although there is a red cooker on & off switch. Builder has told me just to put a plug on it, but is this safe? If anyone can help it would be much appreciated, thanks.

thanks for all your help guys at least now i can get it sorted without being fobbed off :)

Hi there,generally integrated cookers come complete with plug tops and as suggested just plug into a socket outlet, it is generally the hob that would need its own supply as it has a larger load capacity so as safety goes unless you have a double oven then you should be fine, i hope this helps.

lots of modern single ovens are rate at 3000 watts of less and can run off the plug top.

In my opinion, the builder is out of order. Possibly it would be safe - though that all depends on what size circuit breaker is fitted to the circuit. However, it would also be stupid to fit a cooker - and here, I'm referring to a cooker with electric hobs and electric oven - with a 13A plug. Firstly, you'd struggle to get the 6mm cable needed by the cooker (it may even need 10mm cable - check it's instruction booklet/user guide) into a 13A plug. It just won't fit. Secondly, assuming you did cram the cable into a plug, it would blow the 13A fuse in the plug with tedious frequency. Mac os sierra compatible with nik software.

In my opinion, if it is expected that there will be a combination cooker (ie: combined electric hobs + grill + oven), then the builder needs to provide a proper cooker outlet, wired to the cooker control unit with (minimum) 6mm cable (depending upon what size circuit breaker is fitted).

However, stand-alone electric ovens are sometimes supplied with a 13A plug which can be plugged straight into a 13A socket. But an electric four-plate hob unit can pull around 30A!

You should also ask to see the Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) which - by law - must have been completed by a registered competent electrician belonging to NAPIT, ELECSA, BSI, or NICEIC. If you've bought the flat, you should have been given the top copy of the EIC anyway. This will show what size circuit breaker is fitted to the cooker circuit, and what size cable has been used for the circuit.

Hope that helps.

I would not put a plug on it as the cooker will be asking for a lot of power and can melt the socket. You should have a cooker switch which goes to a outlet plate and the cooker should be hard wired in. If you are in any doubt then call an electrician in to fit the cooker and they will tell you exactly what you need but unless it is gas then please do not just put a plug on it

First thing to check is the power requiered for your cooker, some ovens can be plugged into a 13A socket, if this is the case it will come with a plug fitted. If not you will need electrican to connet it. They will check it can be connect and give a certificate.

Electrical Regulations and What They Mean for You

Let us start by saying that if your new cooker model is more powerful than what you previously owned, chances are that you will need to install a new circuit in order to power the appliance. However, cooker circuit installation can only be done by a Part P certified electrician!

With that said, if you are able to use your current circuit and cooker control unit, then you are free to wire your new purchase, but you need to know what you are doing as this procedure can be fatal if you are not careful.

Even if you do know what you are doing, you will still need to hire a qualified electrician to inspect your work and issue you a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate. Failure to do so can void your property insurance and you will have a harder time selling your home.

If, after reading this, you still wish to perform a DIY installation, proceed to the 6 steps below.

Step #1: Check If Your Home Meets the Power Requirements.

Electric cookers require lots of power to operate since they generate intense amounts of heat. This means that you need to get at least a 13 amp fuse, although newer models will most likely require a 32 amp fuse (read your product’s specifications to check its exact amp rating).

Conversely, much older software that hasn't been updated in years may run into errors while running on newer operating systems like Windows 10.

Since you need a separate fuse for your appliance, you will also need tofit your cooker on a separate circuit. This isolated system will ensure that your cooking appliance is drawing sufficient amounts of power at all times and that it is perfectly safe to work with.

Step #2: Purchase and Install a Double Pole Isolating Switch.

As mentioned earlier, cookers are power-hungry machines. And because of that, they need to be “supervised” by a double pole isolating switches. But what do these gadgets do, exactly?

Essentially, this type of isolating switch ensures that, in the event of a short circuit, the cooker’s wiring (neutral wi
