Hi,
I'm attempting to install a new oven at our new (to us - but rather old in reality) flat. Currently there is a control unit, above and to the left of where the cooker will sit. This has one socket with a switch, plus a larger oven switch above.
When we saw the flat before the previous chap had moved out he had his oven plugged straight into the socket on this control unit. However, when we looked around we did find a mounting box that looks like is attached to the control unit, but hasn't been touched in a while. The mounting box has 6 unlabelled screws to connect cables to in a:
x x x
x x x
Configuration.
My question is this:
Can I attach a 6mm cable to the back of the oven and simply wire up a plug with a 30amp fuse and plug it into the socket, or should I wire it to the box on the wall, and if so whre might I be able to find a diagram of what the connecters are on the old mounting box.
As I have no doubt shown a massive lack of understanding of this whole process , any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Wij.
