Hi all,
So our trusty old Ariston built-in oven has given up and the two of us here were both convinced it was plugged-in (a spark fitted it for us along with a standalone hob many moons ago, installed all the circuitry to replace our gas cooker). So we've (perhaps unwisely) gone out and bought a new one with a plug and, having undone some screws and pulled out the oven, discovered it's actually wired to some sort of junction box (see picture) which is in turn wired to a switch on the wall (see other picture, it's the switch on the right, the other controls the hob).
My question is, can I easily (and safely) connect the oven to the switch without removing the oven's own plug and if so, what would be the best equipment to use? Many thanks for any advice given!
