Hi,
I have just bought a flat with an electric oven under a worktop and an electric 4 plate hob sitting into the worktop. I want to replace the hob.
I have taken the oven out and it appears the oven (electric) and the hob have both been wired into the outlet plate on the wall (turned on and off by a cooker switch) above the worktop and wired back to the fuse box in 6mm cable and a 32a trip switch . Am I correct in saying the oven should be wired into its own socket and fused? and the electric hob only be wired into the outlet plate?
Can a feed come off the outlet plate to feed the oven in separate socket with a fused connection?, or should the oven be fed of the 2.5mm kitchen ring main and be wired in its own socket and fused?
Thanks in advance
