Hi, I read the oven manual last night... It says to insert a frame (shaped like a square, but just top and sides) around the top and sides of the oven in some groves at the front, screw the oven onto it from behind the door, and screw this to the cabinets either side of the oven. No...

I assumed that ovens might have a standard fitting? I guess not!

The kitchen instructions did not mention the oven installation at all. The assembly instructions are very poor - just one picture and no text. I just have lots of little screws and a single brass clip (shaped like a U but the sides meet together and then go apart at the end) left over from...

Hi, I have a new fitted kitchn that I am putting together myself. I have put together the wood for the oven housing and the single oven fits nicely inside. But I don't know how I am supposed to secure the oven to the housing? Any ideas? Thanks James

Thanks for your help! Here is a VERY simple way of doing the same thing (taking into consideration your suggestions): - The hob gets its own 3amp fuse - No hidden junctions in cable (except the accessable ones to lengthen the oven/hob cable) - Very simple work - cables are hidden...

I will have to use metal conduit as the wire is barely under the surface of the plaster. The circuit shown does not have the general powerpoints on. Those are attached to a 20 amp ring which also comes into the kitchen. So I figure since the 30amp circuit for the oven has more than emough...

Hi, I currently have a 2.5mm2 cable coming from the consumer unit on a 30amp fuse, and into the kitchen. It currently leads to a single socket (there is only one socket so obviously it is not on a ring). Into this socket, the oven, extractor, and hob-ignition are plugged in with a 13amp...

You know, Im amazed at how you're all so obsessive with the beaucracy and legislation, to the extent that you won't answer the actual questions I've asked ! I understand that this is a very dangerous thing to get wrong, I also understand I ultimatly have to have a qualified electrician do the...

Thanks ban-all-sheds, The work that will be done comes under 2-C-ii of the link you provided (adding new fused spurs to an existing ring.) The reason I was posting originally(!), was so that I could figure out which type of cable the spurs should be (ie to the oven and extractor), and...

(I have a 30amp fuse in the CU which comes into the kitchen via a single socket. ) = the 30amp fuse in the consumer unit originally came into the kitchen via a single socket, which all 3 devices plugged into

Yes the oven, extraction, and spark are all within the 30amps to go on the same circuit. Since I intend to use terminal outlet boxes rather than sockets/plugs, do I have to have a seperate fuse-switch for each device, or can I just put one on the oven, and spur the other two devices from the...

Hi, I have a 30amp fuse in the CU which comes into the kitchen via a single socket. Formerally the kitchen had a fan oven with grill, an extractor hood, and the ignition to the gas hob all connected to this via plugs and socket-doublers (dodgy huh?). I am now installing my own single...
