New Hotpoint - SHS33XK - G640S X single oven

[s11DIY]

Hello Guys, Need your expert advise please. Apologise if this has been answered before but I am struggling to find the right information.

I recently purchased a built-in single HOTPOINT oven to replace my old one, however upon pulling out the old one I have discovered that it was plugged into a 13AMP normal socket.

Now I am unsure whether the new one will be suitable for this, it's rating is 16AMP and runs at 2250-2400W where as the old one from ARISTON was running at 2100-2200W.

Can I safely plug the new one into a exiting standard socket and will it conform to regulations?

I can see a big box with lot of RCD's installed in my house and one of them connected to the cooker socket.

2400W is only 10A.

If that is all it is it will be fine plugged in.

I'm surprised it did not come with a plug attached.
Has it a lead attached?

No it has not got plug attached. There is a small box on the rear of the oven from where I have to make connections with plug. That was the reason I was worried. According to the manual:

To connect the power supply cable, proceed as follows:

Unscrew the cable clamp screw and the contact screws L-N-(Earth Sign)

Fasten the wires beneath the screwheads using the following colour scheme: Blue (N) Brown (L) Yellow-Green (Earth Sign)

Fasten the power supply cable in the corresponding cable clamp and close the cover.


Power cable supply connection to the electrical mains:

We recommend you use a power supply cable which is long enough to allow you to take the oven out of its recess in the event of maintenance operations (only use HAR - H 05 - RRF quality cables fitted with a plug conforming to the regulations in force. The plug must be accessible at all times.

Electrical Connection:

Voltage Frequency: 230
V-1+N 50Hz
Fuse Section: 16A
Supply cable: 3x1.5mm2

You can connect your oven to the system means of a terminal board. Refer to above information for the minimal cable sections and the calibration of the protective elements according to the connection. If the appliance is installed with a junction box, an omnipolar circuit breaker - with a minimum contact opening of 3mm - should be installed between the appliance and the mains.

A plug will be fine.
