Cooker suitability

[Canders]

Hi,

I'm hoping to get some help regarding purchasing a new cooker.
I've just bought my first home and need to buy a cooker. As the pictures show, there is a gas pipe and dedicated plug for a cooker. What I want to know is, would this plug be suitable to support a duel fuel cooker?
I did ask in Curry's today and they said yes but I wanted a second opinion of someone who really knows electrics, as opposed to a salespersons!

Thanks!

What electrical power does it require.

It says the fuse requirement for the one I'm looking at is 32 Amp

no good from what you have, unless they are fed from their own 32a supply in which case a cooker outlet could be fitted instead of the spur & socket

that looks like a gas hob and possibly electric oven, low wattage, set up, or all gas and th socket is uust for the gas ignition and clock

Does that mean this socket would NOT support a duel fuel cooker?

You have a 13amp fused spur. Max for that is roughly 3kw, and you can get dual fuel cookers that will work with that

The model I was looking at says the fuse requirement is 32 Amp. Would this work with that socket? Apologies, I'm clueless with this!

that socket is 13a. not 32a

Short answer? NO

Do you have a 32A cooker circuit on your fuseboard. (Pictures if unsure) If you do, you then need to find where in the kitchen the other end is. (any cooker switch above countertop?) It may have been extended to that ad hoc arrangement in some kind of (likely not great) way
