hello,
ive recently fitted a new kitchen and have installed a candy ceramic hob (pvd 604)
ive fitted hobs before but with this one i found it bit different with regards to the cabling that is to be used in the instalation manual.
basically ive used the existing 6mm from the fuse box, usual cooker/plug switch. but from the switch to the hob it says use 2.5mm cross section cable into the hob terminal. it is also shunted on the terminal with same 2.5 cable. 6mm also wont fit into the terminal.
it works ok with 3 hot plates running but when you use the fourth it blows the fuse in the consumer unit.
the manual that came with it reccomended a 20amp fuse which ive done, but thought this a bit low? especially as im running the extractor from the cooker switch plug too.
would putting the old 45 amp fuse back be ok as it sounds like its overloading?
thanks for any advice in advance
ian
