Repacing a built in electric oven

[Rennywuk]

Hi

I'm new to this forum so please go gentle with me!

I am planning on fitting a new electric built in oven. My intention is to remove the wiring from the exiting oven - it has an easily accessible connector on the rear of teh oven and then, using the existing wire attach it to the new oven (again simple live, neutral and earth connectors are easily accessible). The existing wire runs to a 45A DP Control Unit With 13A Socket.

I am comfortable I know what I'm doing but want to check I'm not breaking any rules or regulations.

Thanks in advance.

I am double checking the old oven rating but the new is 3Kw.

The fuse in the cu is 30A (the cooker has a dedicated fuse)

The new oven requires a fuse between 15a - 20a

I will also double check the fuse in the "cooker switch" but I thought these were always 45A?

Thanks for your help so far.

PS I should say both ovens are single ones.

I replaced all the rewirable fuses with cartridge (trip switch fuses) a while ago.

I have now called electrician who is going to sort it out. Apparently he says the cooker switch leads on to a normal 13a plug! I'm not convinced as when you flick the fuse for the cooker on CU this stops the power to the oven.

The electrician originally looked at fitting a new electric hob to replace a gas one. The cost of this was huge due to the need for a new CU.

Anyway for £40 it will be done professionally - which on reflection avoids any unpleasant warranty or home insurance problems.

Thanks again for your help.
