Gas, electric and what the installer needs
Decide between gas and electric hobs before you buy, because the connection decides which installer you need. South African law requires that gas installations, repairs and maintenance are carried out by a registered gas installer, so ask for proof of registration before work starts. A DIY gas installation may void the manufacturer's warranty. Measure the space in centimetres before you order, since most listings are 60cm or 90cm wide.
Energy rules and warranty terms
Appliances sold in South Africa must meet Minimum Energy Performance Standards, so ask the seller to confirm that the model complies. Warranty terms vary a lot: Bosch's South African warranty gives full cover for parts and labour in the first year and functional-parts cover in years two and three, Hisense lists 24 months for cookers, and La Germania offers a full three-year warranty service. Ask the seller to show the warranty before you pay.
Season, delivery and what to put in the request
Winter runs from June to August, and a cooker that breaks in the cold months is harder to live with, so book an installer in October or November if you are replacing one. Prices are quoted in rand, so check whether delivery and installation are included. Say which city you live in, the cooker width in centimetres, and whether you need gas, electric or dual fuel.
