installing oven - please

Hello - would welcome any advice.

I\\\'ve just purchased a built in single oven that I need to install.
The manual talks about all sorts of weird stuff for connection i.e. \\\" The oven must be connected with a power cable (standardized) with three 1.5mm conductors (1 ph + N + ground) that must be connected to a monpphase 220-240v network via a CEI standardised receptacle (1 ph + 1 N + ground lead) or in accordance with installation rules.\\\" etc. etc.

The diagram has a picture of what is referred to as a \\\"Two-prong receptacle + ground lead CEI standard 60083\\\" running to a \\\"16A fuse or differential circuit breaker\\\" running by a \\\"Monphase line 220-240V\\\" to a \\\"Menophase 20A Counter, 220-240V ~ 50 Hz\\\"

I have no idea what all this means? I thought it would just be a straight case of plug and go? as its currently got a 13a plug attached to it (previous owner). The oven is a German make, could this explain all this (nothing against the Germans)?

I will be fitting kitchen floor units that will be on legs and therefore access to a double socket (will also need to use this socket for plugging in my gas hob ignitor) at the back of unit/s should not be problematic, to avoid having to run a spur with connection to a FCU. Is this also ok??

thanks for your help

Forget the jargon.
Monophase is what you have, (unlikely to have 3 phase in a domestic installation.
The plug indicates that the appliance is less than 2.8Kw, but check the makers spec plate for the actual rating.
If all tallies just plug it in and cook.

2 prong receptacle is just a German plug, looks like you need to fit a dedicated 20amp mcb for the cooker circuit and just plug it into the socket, the 13amp fuse in the plug will also give some protection. Is there a ring main socket near by.

Thanks for the advice - so far so good!

" looks like you need to fit a dedicated 20amp mcb for the cooker circuit and just plug it into the socket" whats this?

there is a double socket near by. I assume it is ring main?

Sorry could you explain a bit clearer? i.e. 'dedicated 20amp mcb for the cooker circuit' ? thanks again

No, you don't need to do that if it is an oven with a 13Amp plug on it and you have a 13Amp socket nearby, you can just plug it in.

Like I said check the makers spec plate for the rating.
