Hi
Has anybody any knowledge of installing a Stoves 900GDOT gas double oven with electric grill?
My question is does the grill have to be wired in to a dedicated supply or plugged in to a normal 13amp socket? 😕

Hi Paul
If you already have the oven it will state the electrical connection requirements in the installation notes within the instruction booklet.
If you are the pre purchase stage then a call to the Stoves Product Information Helpline on 0844 24 84 149 would be the best option for the correct answer.
I supplied the Belling equivalent to a customer a little while ago and IIRC the recommendation was for a 30A supply.
HTH 🙂

Thanks for the reply, just in the pre purchase stage, did ask Stoves via EMail and got the reply “the connection is 13 amp but it has to be hard wired through a 20amp fused spur” which did not seem to ring true as you can connect a combination oven/microwave/grill to a single 13 amp socket and have all three going at the same time. If it is a case of having to hard wire the grill then that puts this oven out as the idea of getting a replacement gas oven is that we don’t have to have any work done other than the install.

Hi Paul
Aha twenty amp spur and not the 30 as I had thought 😉
A combi microwave, if you set it to say a dual cook mode ie microwave and grill it will normally cycle betwen the two functions not both at the same time, therefore you are not exceeding 13A.
Back to the oven, In addition to the grill there is the clock and ignition to think about as well and if all 3 functions were in use at the same time then yes it could take you over the 13A limit. Better to be safe than sorry, which is why they have probably gone down the 20A route.
