Hi guys, just looking for a little advice.
I have just had my kitchen done (plastered and all) and had a radial circuit set up for the cooker using 6mm cable into a cooker switch down to a connection unit. It's 32amp at the consumer unit.
I have just bought an integrated single oven to find it only requires a 13 amp fused plug. I also have a gas hob that needs wiring up off of it as there are no other power points nearby.
My question is...
1- Can I change the cooker connection unit to a double socket (fed by the 6mm from the cooker switch) and use the cooker and hob with appropriately fused plugs?
Or
2- Can I cut the plug off and hard wire the cooker into a cooker switch/socket and replace the above worktop cooker switch with a FCU?
Or
3- Take a small length of 6mm from the connection unit into a FCU and then use 2.5mm from the FCU into a double socket? And plug into that?
I will get a sparky in but I want to try and get my head around it beforehand!
Thanks
Jay
