Discuss 6mm or 10mm for cooker? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Hello the cooker book say 10m cable, thats ok, but i have got al old 6m coming from the trip box to the kitchen socket, the one with the 2 red buttons for the normal size cooker with plug on. But this cookers is different its got no cables at the bck of it. What i need to know if i have to like to like cables for the cooker, by replacing the 6m for the 10m from the fuse box to the kitchen socket and then use the 10m from the cooker to that socket which will require a outlet box to. I hope u can understand this pls.If that model is correct then according to the pdf spec on their website it states a maximum load of 7.4kW
Where did you get this info from?
The only reference I can see to cable size is on P29 where it shows 10mm max which is the maximum cable size for that connector
Maybe you can supply a photo of the voltage label on the back of the cooker to confirm exactly what is required?
Your cooker does not require a 10.0mm2 supply cableThis cooker has a maximum load of 7.4kW. After diversity, this equates to less than 18A. It could be argued that 2.5mm2 is adequate, although I hope that most would fit 4.0mm2.
If this was the all electric version of this model, then 10mm2 would probably be about right.
You have already said all of thatHello the cooker book say 10m cable, thats ok, but i have got al old 6m coming from the trip box to the kitchen socket, the one with the 2 red buttons for the normal size cooker with plug on.

To be fair to OP, I seem to recall that’s what my manual said. And if I recall, had the same response from Rangemaster when I’d previously asked when installing for another customer.You have already said all of that
Maybe you can read my previous reply and answer the questions I asked?
Where did you get the info that says it requires a 10mm cable?
Post a photo of the data plate on the back of the cooker or post here what info it says on it?
Nobody can give you an answer without the relevant information. If you can't or won't answer then I suggest you get an electrician to do it for you (which you should do anyway as stated in the manual)
I agree and looking at the manual it is a bit vague but as I said in my previous post, the OP probably read the 10mm max so I asked to confirm where the info came fromTo be fair to OP, I seem to recall that’s what my manual said. And if I recall, had the same response from Rangemaster when I’d previously asked when installing for another customer.
I think it’s RM standard response, when it actually probably only relates to their all electric ovens, as someone else (was it you) has previously said.
I do wish there was an emoji rated one higher than a mere grin.This is going to go on for a while I think.
