connecting cooker

[sparky0000]

i need to wire a free standind cooker its brand new and it has come with a 2.5 heat resistant flex

the cooker supply has a 32a b type mcb with rcd protection , 6mm2 going from the mcb to a cooker socket then to a cooker outlet

what would be the best way to connect the cooker

i havent seen a cooker come with a flex before

What is the kw rating of the cooker?

You can probably just wire this flex to the cooker outlet, but would be sensible to confirm the kW first.

im not sure what the kw is it dosent say on it with it being a 2.5mm2 flex i havent seen a 2.5 flex on a cooker before could i change the mcb?

If the manufacturer has specified it then I don't see the issue.

 

[sparkwright]

The rating should be around the oven door, or at the back.

i no what your saying sparky123 but can you connect a 2.5flex to a outlet with 6mm2

 

[Spark123]

Providing the MCB matches the spec for the cooker then yes, what is the rating of the cooker?

Why are you spending all that money on being a DI then?

 

[sparkwright]

Thought you'd gone out?

 

[ColJack]

you have your DI but don't know how to look on the back of a cooker at the rating plate that is required by law to be there?

you say this is a new cooker.. is that new to you or brand new?

if it's ex-display then the flex may have been used to connect it up for demonstration purposes only ( ie lights, display etc.. )
