Hi guys, I'm not an electrician but I would like to think I'm pretty switched on with electrics (pun intended).
I have just purchased a new microwave oven to replace my existing microwave.
The new microwave is rated at 900w max and the grill is rated at 1000w max.
Now currently the microwave is off the kitchen ring main via a fuse spur down to a single socket, I wanted to reuse this and I thought 1900w max is well within the limit of a spur until I read the manual and it says it requires a 16A Fuse. I don't agree with this. Could someone please clarify if the Fuse spur is ok to use still as I don't really want to install a new circuit. Thanks
