cooker

Hi, We have a new cooker. Upon wiring it in the the RCD trips rated at 80A but the MCB doesn't rated at 40A. The cooker draws 8.5kW. it trips as soon as the double pole switch is made. The manual says use 2.5mm² which I am but my maths it should be bigger. Anyway, I feel like it is a fault with...

Hi all, I have just bought a house and currently removing the kitchen to replace and fit oven/hob. We would like to install a gas hob and electric oven (integrated) The kitchen does not have a dedicated cooker circuit. Below is a picture of what we have. My question is.... if I got an...

i live in a council flat in Paisley, Glasgow and i've just had a duel fuel cooker delivered but the gas engineer (hotpoint) said he's not allowed to install it due to there being plastic casing directly behind the oven, the socket for the electricity in the wrong area, and this random pipe with...

Gas Bayonet by mogget posted 24 Oct 2019 at 8:02 PM I am switching to an electric cooker, as a result I have disconnected the gas bayonet and it will be unused (but I don't want to get rid of it). Are these OK to leave as is, or should it be capped / have some sort of blank put in...

As you'll see from the below pictures, my cooking hob has an extractor fan. What the kitchen installers failed to do (before I owned the house) was to install a pipe and a vent from the extractor fan hood. This obviously leads to undesirable problems when cooking, more noticeably in the winter...

I have to replace the oven and hob in our Ibiza apartment. The existing setup was a combined unit with the hob controls on the oven but the new is two separates. The old hob/oven combo had two live and two neutral feeds with each pair put/crammed into a single connection in the wall plate. The...

Hi folks, our existing old-skool Creda electric cooker is on its last legs, and just so happens that my brother was getting rid of his nearly new Belling cooker as he's having a new kitchen. The existing cable connecting to the Creda is 6mm (says so on the outer sheath). The new Belling oven...

The Door seal is coming off my Homark Conventional Oven. I think its the brown 01-711000 A Model. The seal looks ok its just the glue that holds it on that has worn with the years. Any idea what i could glue it back on with? Would Thermal Paste for a PC work for example? Thanks :)

Hi Guys, I have just found out that I have polystyrene wedges in the vent that leads outside from the cooker extractor fan. Is this normal? Can I remove it to hopefully increase airflow? i have attached an image. I am baffled why it was put there in the first place

We use 47 Kg Propane Calor Gas Cannisters just for our cooker hob as we aren't on mains gas here, but is there a simple dumb way to know when they are getting low? I know we just let them run out and when they are empty, they are empty! (simple I know)!! But just wondered if I was missing...

Hi guys, Me and my partner are about to sign a tenancy agreement with a private landlord, however I am a bit worried about the gas cooker in this new kitchen. It is a standalone cooker and hob, with worktops on the left side and nothing on the right side. It is also right next to an inside...

Hi there, We had a new kitchen installed when we moved in, and we (regretfully now) decided to keep the existing cooker (ie: oven and hob). It was fairly old, but due to budget constraints at the time, we kept it, and I (naively) assumed it would be easy to replace at a later date. A photo of...
