"I'm fitting in a new Neff built under cooker, but I'm not 100% sure with the wires.
The Wires from the wall are the normal -RED , BLACK & BARE EARTH.
But the wires in the cooker are - BLACK , BLUE & a EARTH PLATE.
Can someone confirm which is the live wire in the cooker, is it the Black or Blue ?"
Just as an update...here we are 3 years later and I'm going through the same thing myself (having googled myself here).. having a Neff built under delivered this morning.
So frustrating.
However, I've downloaded all the instruction and fitting documents, which say virtually nothing about wire colours except for a diagram that shows.
220-240v - (an earth symbol) - L - N
I've rung Neff who say that they cannot tell me anything over the phone, but have emailed me 2 complicated connection diagrams - meaningless to me, and certainly don't show the colour of each terminal.
Sod all in any F***g manual, download,customer service dept etc etc (I can imagine lloydadams frustration at taylortwocities help
)
So...I have supply cable with yellow/green, blue and brown which needs to connect to earth (yellow /green) a black and a blue in the cooker.
Logic tells me that it will be blue to blue (neutral) and that only leaves brown to black?
