New gas cookers

New gas cookers

Safety information to take into account when purchasing a new gas cooker.

From 1 June 2008 the law has required all new gas cookers, installed in flats or other multiple occupancy properties, to be fitted with 'flame failure devices' (FFDs) on all gas burners. This legislation does not apply to old cookers.

If you live in a flat and are purchasing a new gas cooker, please ensure that these devices are already fitted on the cooker, otherwise you will not be allowed to install the cooker in your flat.
