Cooker Cable

Seen this cooker being advertised http://www.appliancespares-direct.c...n-delta-freestanding-cooker-white-p-8344.html and had a look and it is supplied with a 1.5mm flex, surely this isn't suitable.

IMO it should be a 6mm cable supplied.

Thoughts guys.

Well by my working applying diversity it requires 19A

Easy install comes complete with 1.5m Cable. copied from spec. that's a 5 ft. length of cable.

Surely not 1.5m squared, thats far too big

That cable is for the ignition circuit, to light the gas.

Might be missing a trick but can't see anything about a 1.5 flex in the spec, it does say supplied with 1.5 metre cable

Tri-rated cable is designed to run at a higher temperature than standard PVC flex, and should only be used at that rating when connected to switchgear also designed to run at high temperature. We have the same issue when using XLPE swa...just because the cable can run hotter, it doesn't mean that it should.

and any encosures its glanded off into should also be rated for the tempratures likely/expected...

Woman says it was supplied like this

What woman?? Saleswoman, ...do we really take notice and believe all that a salesperson tells us now?? lol!!

I doubt very much that this free standing all in one cooker has been manufacture supplied with a 1.5mm or 2.5 mm cable
