Hi. I need to replace an old oven and hob. Currently the oven is 2.3kW and the hob is 5.8kW. They are both hardwired into the same connection unit, then it goes to a 45A cooker switch with an integrated 13A switched socket, then it goes to the 40A fuse in the consumer unit.
The new oven is 2.5kW and the new hob is 6.7kW. Fragments of spec below.
BEKO HIC64402T Ceramic Hob
Hob power - Front right: 1.5 kW / Front left: 2.2/0.75 kW / Rear right: 1.7 kW / Rear left: 1.2 kW
Electrical installation - This product requires hardwiring to a 32 Amp fuse.
Power supply - 32 Amp (Requires hardwiring to a dedicated cooker circuit)
BEKO Pro BXIM35300X Electric Oven
Energy consumption - 0.94 kWh
Electrical installation - This product requires hardwiring to a 16 Amp fuse.
Power supply - 16 Amp (Requires hardwiring to a dedicated circuit)
Electrical power rating - 2.5kW
The question is - are these new appliances suitable replacements or should I look for something with less total kW? Will the total load be too much while cooking on the hobs and using oven at the same time? We very often also use the integrated socket in the cooker switch while cooking to charge a mobile phone etc.
Thanks,
Piotr
