Oven replacement

[joeryan]

I want to replace the gas oven with an electrical standing unit. I have what looks to be an electrical box on the wall, assume this is for the electrical oven? Also can I just disconnect the gas myself, from the connector (see pics)

I’m going to pay for someone to do it, that’s fine. I’m just trying to figure out if I likely have the electrical outlets there or not as I just moved in. It sounds like sticking to gas might be the easiest route, although after seeing the switch I had some hope I could get the gas capped and use the electrical socket. Prefer fan assisted. I was in Currys and they just said (pre lockdown) the gas can be turned off yourself and pay for electric installation which felt a bit odd as I’m sure I should get it capped entirely for safety.

There’s a gas oven connected now, fully gas and it simply plugs into a standard 13 amp wall socket in the wall for the ignition etc. There is that box on the wall, next to the gas main, which links to the switch up above the unit. It doesn’t have anything rated on it. When I check the fuse box I don’t see anything labelled “cooker” etc which worries me. If it’s going to be the cost of running a new wire from the RCD through the walls / under the floor to the oven, it’s not worth the cost / effort. Is there any easy way to see what the switch for the oven is rated at? It’s just a white front, I expected to see something on the RCD box.

I see this oven says it comes with a 13 amp plug, I already have an outlet close to the oven which is used for the induction of the gas. It says in the specifications on Currys to connect it to a standard outlet, is that safe?

“ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION: This product can be plugged into a standard 13 Amp socket.”

Could be a solution for the time being, keep gas for the hob (pay for their installer) and then electric oven that’s got the plug on the end.
