Oven wiring

[Logansrun]

Hi, just bought a Neff double oven and in the installation instructions it says that connection to the mains should be made using a HO5VV-F mains connection cable. What is this and where do I buy it? The old oven was connected using 6mm twin and earth cable to a cooker point.

I believe it's just heavy duty mains cable, nothing special.

Check to see what the power rating of your oven is. If it's under 3kW (3000 watts) then you can plug it into a 13A socket (on your cooker point?)

You won't be needing the 6mm T&E.

Why didn't you just type in HO5VV-F into Google?

If you do, this is what you get: -

We give electrical advice on this forum but we do expect you to be a "bit" self-reliant!
