Hi,
First post on the forum so please go easy if I miss out some info!
I am going to be wiring a new Neff oven to the existing cable that the old oven was connected to. I have removed the wires from the old oven and all 3 have a metal end attached which were slid over metal plates to make the connection (as far as I can see).
Looking at the back of the new oven there are 2 small metal plates that look like the Live and Neutral would slide over as in the old oven. The earth however just has a screw so I think I will need to cut this metal clip off, strip back the wire, and wrap around the earth screw before clamping down.
Just wanted to make sure I am going about this the right way before I do it.
(out of interest, I woul have just paid for them to connect it for me but apparantly the cable isn't quite wide enough to meet their specifications to install. The guy said it would be fone to do myself though, he was basically just covering himself).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Adam
