Electric Cooker Installation

The installation of or fitting an electric powered cooker should be done on its own circuit. An electric powered cooker should not be spurred from any other circuit and should be controlled by its own fuse within the consumer unit.

Cookers should not be plugged in with an ordinary plug and socket they should be hard-wired into a wall plate with a separate switch to isolate the supply when necessary.

Kitchen Design and Appliance Positioning

The positioning of kitchen appliances is one of the first tasks when designing a kitchen.
