I have recently refitted our kitchen, the existing kitchen had a electric oven and gas hob, we now have the same oven and a new ceramic hob. I am wondering if I can use the existing wiring/sockets...
There is a 6mm cable feeding a cooker switch which then feeds the connection plug socket behind the old oven, which is only 2980W. Next to the cooker switch is a spur to the old connection point for the old hob(behind the oven too), which is just standard ring main cable.
The new hob is 6kw.
What I am thinking is that I can just plug the oven into the old hob connection. Or would that overload it? And then plug the new hob into the oven socket. The cooker/hob cabling is on its own fuse of course.
