Hi
I have a Zanussi single oven (built in) and a gas hob (already connected to the gas supply). The oven was supplied without a cable.
Looking at it, it is 2.15kw according to the manual. I went to town today and acquired some 1.5mm sq. heat shielded flex, wired it to the oven and terminated the other end with a regular 3-pin plug which is just plugged into a regular socket that was behind the kitchen unit.
Just wanted to check that given its only 2.15kw that the cable ratings should be fine (cable rated to 16amps, 3.8kw) and I assume it is fine with just being plugged in giving its loading (no cooker ring-main)? I've got to install it into its cavity, but didn't want to get ahead of myself without double checking first.
Thanks
Ian
