I have always installed cookers myself, by hard-wiring (using cable specified in the manual) between the terminal at the rear of the cooker and the terminal on the wall (40A cooker circuit).
I have removed my old cooker and had a new cooker delivered this morning, need to connect it (40A and 6mm 3 core cable as apt.) but this is the first cooker i've had that doesn't have an external terminal box on the rear. Just 3 v. short (L, N, E) protruding cables (probably 3mm width) with a sticker on saying 'not to be used for wiring the cooker'.
I assume that I need to remove the back panel and these wires are only there to show the correct wiring config. Can anyone suggest if this is the case and if it is normal to have to remove the back panel to wire a cooker? Don't want to start disassembling a brand new cooker if I shouldn't!
Cheers
