Hi,
I have just bought a new built-in electric oven and was looking at wiring it in without calling out an electrician- hopefully a relatively simple job!
I have checked the current oven rating and this is 450V, 40A, 6f.
The new oven is 450V, 16A, 2,5f.
The oven has a dedicated circuit and I was planning to use the existing cable and wire this into the new unit (otherwise if I was to wire in the new cable, this would mean pulling out the built in units which I'd rather avoid).
Is there anything I need to do before coupling it up or is it just a case of swapping one for another?
Many thanks for your help.
Steve
