2 x 3 amp appliances on unfused 32 amp cooker spur - safety issue?

Can a 3 amp gas hob and a 3 amp gas oven be hardwired into an 32 amp electric oven spur with the 3 amp fuses removed? 

Also, the electric cooker spur will be directly behind the fan inlet/outlet of the fitted gas oven when it sits in its cabinet. 

This is what I've been told is safe, but alarm bells are ringing here.

    The hob one is harder to find, obsolete. I assume both appliances are yours Viv and are being re-fitted into your new kitchen?

    These will be tricky to re-install, it's late now, will look again tomorrow 

    Edit; do you live in a flat, or a house?

  • Thanks for that, it's a house. Yes, both the appliances are mine. This is what it used to look like (taken when regrouting the tiles) with the fridge-freezer out of shot - very dated and old fashioned

    This is the plan

    So not much has changed except the fridge-freezer is now by the back door and the dishwasher is supposed to be flush (it was about 4mm sticking outwards because of a gas pipe)

    The dishwasher has not changed place, or the oven and hob. The fridge-freezer cannot be plugged in without moving an inch or two away from the wall, same with the dishwasher as they haven't moved the pipe as agreed and both have the electrical sockets directly behind them. I will fit fused FCUs after they have gone so I can plug them in. They are telling me that this is 'council specification'. I think they forgot the power supply needed for the hob and oven and are trying to do a bit of a bodge now to save costs, rather than admit their mistake. I cannot see why they moved all the sockets when it was ok in the first place, as not many changes needed to be made. Instead of fixing one problem, there are now lots.

    I've printed out the installation part in the manual, which clearly states that a 3amp fuse is needed and left it on top of the cooker for them.

  • Hi,

    The obvious bodge if they don't want to re-plaster is to surface mount a double socket and connect it to the cooker outlet, assuming that the cooker outlet is protected by a 32A or less breaker.

    I certainly would not be permitting them to cut the plugs off your appliances - they don't seem to understand overcurrent protection very well and by retaining the plugs they don't have any way of omitting a suitable fuse.
