I am having a new Bosch single oven delivered tomorrow. Currently, I have a 32A MCB feeding a cooker isolation point. From there, there is a direct wire to the electric hob and another wire to a 13A FCU which the old oven was connected to.
I purchased a new hob and oven with the intention of replacing them directly. Now, having looked at the manual for the oven online, it says "Do not connect the appliance using a 13A plug or protect it with a 13A fuse". Unless im reading the wrong manual, I can't understand this. The oven is rated to draw 2.35kW, to me that equates to about 10A. Why should I not connect it to a 13A FCU with the existing wiring?
And if not, what can I do to allow safe connection?
Thanks
