    Does it matter what wattage my new oven is?

    My Lamona oven has broke so I’m replacing it with a new one. Does it matter that the new one I’m wanting to get is 2.8kw compared to the current one at 2.4kw? Is it still safe to have or do I have to get one at the same power or lower?

    Max Wattage on a Circuit with Newer Bulbs
