fitting electric hob

[wheredoesthisgo]

i just got a belling electirc hob and was going to fit it my self, i assume the wire from the old one will just fit into the new one.
Is this a safe assumption?? there does not seem to be a great deal in the way of instructions.

Depends on the power consumption of the old hob vs the new one. We need more information.

csr60 mk/ 2 does that mean anything to you?

No.

Most electric hobs have approximately the same power consumption (6-8kw), and will be ok on the same circuits.

So when i take the old one out should it have three wires?

 

[Steve]

Yes. But I'd advise trying to find the power rating of the new and old hobs. It will be printed on them somewhere - measured in KW or W. Normally on a plate underneath the hob or on its sides.

Thanks for that, i'll have a good look tomorrow
