Hi,
(1) Who will do the installation, the shop or the cabinet maker or need to hire a separate installer? I asked 2 shops and both said they just sell, no installation.
(2) Can the hood be fixed on a tiled wall?
(3) What is the required amp for hood and induction hob?
(4) Planning to get below. Any comment?
Hood - RCH Monza X-BL
Hob - induction RIH Rekka 44-BL
Requirement for hood is flat top, above 1500 suction, less noise and easy to clean. I think Fotile is out budget. Any similar combo/non-combo from Livinox, Midea or Elba sub 2.5K?
TQ
Based on my own experience, so don't take it as the holy grail.
1) shop doesn't provide installation but they can recommend installer.
You can also request/nego for cabinet maker to install (i think this is better).
2) yes.
3) for your hob, it says max 2.0 + 2.2kW, so a 20A should be sufficient. My Teka has total 4.6kW and the user manual says it only needs 15 or 16A mcb iirc. Mine comes with a 15A plug. 4mm² wires should be more than enough. I was too kiasu and ran a 6mm² wiring.
Hood uses very little power, so they normally tap from your 13A sso per advice from my electrician.
4) no idea.
Note: if I am redoing my kitchen, I'd run separate cables from main DB and set up another DB in the kitchen. Makes things easier if you want to add new 13A SSOs without having to limit electricity loading on the existing SSO circuit (using oven, or clothes dryer for example, if the dryer is using the existing shared circuit).
