Electric Cooker with Gas Part.

Zoomup
A customer is having a new all electric cooker delivered today. I installed a new consumer unit and cooker connection point yesterday. A local retailer will not connect up a new cooker if the connection is not simple and straightforward. The old cooker is to be scrapped. The retailer has been known to take a new cooker away after refusing to connect it. The lady of the house is sorry to see the back of the old cooker, I suppose that that is why she was cleaning it yesterday.

    I don't believe so Zoom.


    I always remember that when I have disconnected a bayonet gas cooker flexible pipe plug the gas stopped coming out of the gas fitting behind the cooker. I believe that a spring loaded automatic valve is involved that automatically shuts off the gas. These are meant to be used by Mrs. Householder, an ordinary non qualified or trained person, when moving the cooker out for cleaning out dust and dead chip removal from the floor.
