Cooking appliances
Before you buy, check:
Connections
- Ensure there is an electric and/or gas supply if dual fuel within 1m of the installation location. If moving from electric to gas, check that the gas supply has been prepared.
- Ensure there is the correct amp power supply for your new appliance.
- Check the cooker isolation switch is accessible.
Dimensions
- Ensure product dimensions fit in the chosen location.
- For integrated or semi-integrated installations, make sure your kitchen units are able to house the new appliance – we do not offer carpentry work to modify units.
- If you’re having a hob installed, check it will fit in the space allocated – we can only make minor alterations to extend holes in wooden worktops.
- For a hob or cooker, check the space around the heat source is in line with the recommended dimensions. As a general guide the hood should be 50cm above an electric hob or 65cm for a gas hob. The side and rear space required around a hob is generally 5cm.
Fire appliances
Before you buy, check:
Connections
- Ensure there is an gas supply within distance of the installation location. If moving from electric to gas, check that the gas supply has been prepared.
- Check the gas isolation valve is accessible.
- Check that the fire is suitable for the flue and that it’s been checked and swept.
- Also check to see if flue covers need in case of seagulls or other nesting birds.
Dimensions
- Ensure product dimensions fit in the chosen location.
Regarding disposal of your old appliance
This is your responsibility as we do not have the facility to remove old waste.
