Gas cooker back adaptor

[Judy]

hi folks I'm not a plumber and I'm not proposing to do anything myself I just want some advice.

I have just got a new cooker to replace my old slot in one. The old one had a lip at the back and space for the hose/gas pipe, this on has a flat back and stands proud of kitchen units. Ive used the company I bought it from for years they are an old well established firm, they said that all slot in cookers have these same flat backs now. However, in the cooker manual it talks about an adaptor backplate but I can't find any info anywhere about anything like this. I just wanted to kniw if anyone on here has met this issue and found a solution to it. The cooker is about 4-5cm proud of the kitchen units so there is a big gap down the back. It seems an odd design to me?

Hi Judy, Your Gas Safe engineer will know what to do. It may need the supply for the oven to be moved or adjusted. Or it just does not fit your original oven housing unit. A couple of pictures would be helpful.

Hi Judy and welcome to the forum,,,,The fittings required are among these,

As above, you want one parallel to the wall. Also a lot of cookers need the backplate in a specific position to allow the cooker to go back

Hi judy. A picture would be good. Or as stated above if you get a Gas Safe Engineer to install the cooker and tell them before they get there that the cooker point may need adapting and explain your situation he/she should bring the parts with them.
