Dual-Fuel Cookers
Buying advice
Choosing Dual-Fuel Cookers
A dual-fuel cooker pairs a gas hob with an electric oven, giving visible flame control for pans and electric heat for baking and roasting. It can be a useful choice if your kitchen already has both suitable gas and electrical supplies.
Measure the cooker gap and delivery route, then compare burner spacing, pan supports, oven capacity, cavity layout and grill position. Check whether the oven uses fan cooking and which cleaning features are included.
Installation involves two services: a Gas Safe registered engineer must handle the gas connection, and the electrical circuit must match the appliance rating. Confirm both connections and any ventilation or clearance requirements before ordering, rather than assuming an existing cooker setup is automatically suitable.

Key questions
What does dual fuel mean on a cooker?
It normally means a gas hob combined with an electric oven. Check the specification because cavity and grill arrangements vary.
Do I need both gas and electricity?
Yes. The cooker needs a suitable gas supply and an electrical connection that matches its rating, often a dedicated cooker circuit.
Who installs a dual-fuel cooker?
A Gas Safe registered engineer must handle the gas work. Any electrical connection or circuit work must be completed by a suitably qualified person.
Is dual fuel good for baking?
The electric oven can provide the familiar fan and conventional functions many bakers use. Compare temperature controls, shelf positions and cavity size for the recipes you make.
Can I replace a gas cooker with dual fuel?
Possibly, but the existing electrical supply may not support the electric oven load. Have the circuit and connection checked before choosing.
