I was wondering do you need to connect the dual fuel cooker to two connections gas and electric?
Also with the electric connection is is a normal plug you plug into the wall?
I would like further advice on this issue as I have only ever had a gas cooker?

You will need both gas & electric supply. If it's a double oven then you will need a 30 amp supply, if it's a single oven then 13 amps should do
RonnieB a corgi engineer cannot connect the electric supply unless he is cirtified to do so ( part p regs )

I'm assuming this is a modern electric cooker with gas hob.
If the unit is already fitted with a 13 amp plug then it is at least required for the hob ignition and any clocks that are fitted.
Most modern small electric cooker units only require a 13amp supply themselves although it is usually taken from a 13 amp fused spur rather than a plug in connection.

Yes, a dual fuel cooker does need both gas and electricity. Contrary to popular belief though, an electric oven or hob does not necessarily require 30 amp cable and fuse. I fitted an electric oven recently that required only a 13 amp fused spur. The cooker only needed 30A if it had both electric oven AND hob, according to the manufacturers recommendations.

You need a more substantial connection then a 13 amp plug. A cooker takes a load of power and it has to have a separate cable back to the fuse board or consumer unit. You need gas as well of course Consult an electrician - it shouldn't cost a huge amount

The electric side of you new cooker will require a 30amp cable wired into a box on the wall which will also be connected to an isolator switch.
The gas side will need to be connected to a gas supply either mains or bottle depending on which jets the cooker has!
Not as complicated as it sounds but if you are unsure at all then get a qualified engineer to fit it!
Even if you do the connections yourself you need a corgi registered gas engineer to certify the work so get him to do the whole thing!

Electric oven needs 30 amp fuse (electrician required)
if only power to the hob, IE spark or clock 13 amp
