Hello everyone
I need to install our old electric cooker into our new apartment, the cooker already has a cable and the electrics are all in place, so I should just need to connect it.
The problem is that I have noticed that on the socket on the wall the live and neutral wires are placed the wrong way round, so on the plastic bit the wires go into the live is in the neutral holder.
What I need to know is will I have to swap the wires in the socket around or is this fine to leave it like this as long as live is conected to live and neutral connected to neutral and earth to earth.
Many thanks
