Earlier recommendations suggested as the oven can draw just over 12 amps, having a good quality plug that can handle heat over a longer period of time would be better than a bog standard plug.

I don’t have anything so needing to buy regardless.

That’s out of stock. Amazon have this… Permaplug HDPT13B ChatGPT suggests it’s comparable to MK Toughplug. Any thoughts ?

Hi again…Evri have played a blinder and lost my MK Toughplug package. Are there are any other heavy duty alternatives you would recommend. Anything that’s on the high street such as Screwfix or Toolstation then even better. Thanks.

Would it make any material difference if, instead of putting a 13A plug on them and plugging them into a standard socket, I connected them to a 13A FCU which was in itself, also on the kitchen ring main ? Other things of note on that circuit would be kettle, toaster, microwave and air fryer but...

Thanks for everyone’s help, it’s been much appreciated. So my final setup is….. I have 2 of these AEG single ovens with each rated at 2.79 kW. For each oven, I’ll use 1m length of that recommended 3 core cable and then I’ll connect a 13A MK toughplug to the other end. Each oven will be...

There’s a CEF branch 5 mins drive away and they sell this by the metre which is very handy.

In fact, when I feed the wire through the hole on the black cover, it will come out directly at the raised bit of metal. Should I then just wrap it round to the left so it creates almost a full circle ?

Thanks but still not following exactly ? So just wrap it half way around from bottom to top ?

As per below, manual seems to suggest a 1.5mm cable. This surprised me somewhat as I thought 1.5mm was for lighting circuits. So is just a standard 1.5mm T+E cable ? Does it need to be any particular type/standard ? Any recommendations of brands if I was buying from Screwfix ?

Got it open and nothing broke thankfully. Below is what’s now in front of me so I now know which terminal is for what wire.

Put screwdriver in which holes ?? There are quite a few. Is it hinges on right hand side ?

Better pic with screw removed

I have a set of torx fittings and have managed to get the silver screw off but not obvious which way the hinge goes and reluctant to force it in case something breaks. Rating plate confirms 2.79kw as per pic.

So the oven model from the OP arrive today. Was expecting no plug but wasn’t expecting no cable. Manual says nothing about how to connect cable other than consult a qualified electrician. I’m quite able to wire a plug to a cable, but wiring a cable to the oven, I’m less sure about. I’m...
