Where is it going & what are you going to make your electrical connection to?

 

[Spark123]

Have you got a cooker control unit in your kitchen? What rating fuse feeds it? What rating cooker is it?

hi,folks
it will be connected to existing 30amp cooker cuicuit, thats not the problem, its the cooker end i am worried about, and any new legislation regarding DIY
cheers keith

If the new one is a free standing cooker , then there should be a connector unit between the switch & the cooker which should be fixed to the back wall at about 300mm from the floor.

If you are replacing an existing cooker with an equivalent one and not providing any new fixed cabling then it is not notifiable under part p if that is what you are worried about?

You've answered your own question.

If the manufacturer's instructions require you to engage a professional then you will be in breach of the terms and conditions of their warranty if you do it yourself. To prove it was done professionally you will need to have a Minor Works Certificate.

(By the way, this has nothing to do with any actual regulations regarding domestic installation work.)

If it´s a fan assisted oven and come fitted with a 13Amp plug and you cut it off this could void the guarantee.
