[QUOTE="Quackington, post: 270615, member: 19448"] Hello again. I had an electrician round today that confirmed that the 2.6kw Rangemaster is okay to be plugged into a standard socket. However, my socket currently resides above where the new cooker would be (maybe not directly above, just a little to the left, but higher than the cooker). He advised against this because the heat from the cooker could burn the socket, is this correct? He suggested I move it to a wall facing the side of the cooker or keep it on the same wall but move it much lower. Is it alright to keep an electric socket behind a cooker, lower side? Should i worry about heat from the oven? I'm a little worried about moving this too far from the cooker because that would mean having a long cable from the cooker to the plug. I'd like it to be accessible so I can easily take it off if I ever needed to. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
