Cooker connection to 13A socket

[Brian Matthews]

I am in the process of buying a new
Bosch Serie 4 HBS534BS0B.

• Total connected load electric: 2.99 KW. AO who I am buying it from state that it can be connected to a 13A socket other seller are saying it is 13 Amp (Requires hardwiring to a fused spur).

There is a 13A socket already there that the old cooker was connected to. Before I engage an electrician would it be OK to plug it into the 13A socket?

Thanks

Brian

I depends what other loads are on that circuit. Personally I would be having it on its own dedicated circuit.

I am fairly sure that when we had our new kitchen they used the old cooker connection to use with the new built in cooker. The cooker has its own supply from the consumer unit.

OK, turn off the breaker in the consumer unit that is marked "cooker" and see if that socket switches off. If it does then your are good to go.

Unfortunately it didn't. It only switched the Induction Hob off. I suppose it would be pointless to have one of these instead of the double sockets that's there at the moment.

after turning the breaker back on....

If the cooker comes with a lead and plug top then it is fine for a socket, if it comes without a plug and lead then it should be hard wired, thats my view.

Find the manufacturer's installation instructions and see what they say. They aren't necessarily to be followed to the letter, but it may give useful advice.

Hi - looks like that one does not come with a plug.

Curious as to why the disagree tes369.

Not having a go, just would like to know the reason for your opinion

well i gave you an "agree" so that cancels out his (pillock comment) "disagree".

Phoned Bosch and they said it was OK to use a 13A plug. I mean with everything on (unlikely to happen) it would draw about 12.5A.

 

[Taylortwocities]

Yes. All you need to do us to assess the loads on the circuit into which you are planning to plug that large load

12.5A on for a long period hmmmm. But apply diversity with the plates switching on and off. Might help a little
