Have a new inbuilt single-oven arriving tomorrow. The old one is seven year's old and came with the house - a new build - when it was built. It has a plug fitted to it, which goes into a dedicated plug socket behind the oven space. There is an isolating switch above the counter, and the oven is on its own circuit at the fuse box.
Is it ok to fit a plug to the new oven and connect it the same way? And assuming the new one does not come with a new cable and plug, can I resuse the current one if it is the same spec and in good condition?
The online manual for the single oven I have bought says "Connect the product to a grounded outlet/line protected by a fuse of suitable capacity as stated in the Technical Specifications table."
The Technical Specifications table says its total power consumption is 2.5kW and it needs a min. 13 A fuse. Cable needs to be H05VV-FG 3 X 1.5mm2 or equivalent (this is presumably a cable specific to the job: heat resistant and whatever else).
Thanks
