Is this setup OK for dual fuel cooker?

Hi,

I want to replace my gas cooker with a dual fuel cooker. There's already a what looks like a 32Amp cooker switch in the consumer unit and an old fashioned looking switch above the cooker. The cooker I want to buy has a 4.5kW electrical power load.

The current gas cooker came with the house when I bought it, so I've no idea when or if the circuit has ever been used.

This is the consumer unit switch: imgur.com/Bn4EIQf
This is the switch above the current cooker: imgur.com/8Q82umt
This is the proposed cooker: www.stoves.co.uk/products/cooking/range-cookers/richmond-550dfw/

Does it look OK? And even if it does, should I get an electrician in to check it before ordering the cooker?

Reading the installation instructions it states a 32 ampe minimum supply, so you should be OK. You will need an electrican and Gas Safe engineer to connect the cooker..
