Hello All,

Your advice appreciated please.

Need to change the oven. It is currently hard wired into a dedicated fused wall socket.

Considering the specs of both ovens above (pic L existing, pic M new oven, pic R trip Switch), as well as the rating on the trip switch, Is this just a straight swap? If not, what needs to be done - a diy job or one for an electrician?

Thanking you in advance.

Current oven connected to this with 13A fuse.
New one states 16A or is that trip switch? See instructions in post #1.

@EFLImpudence, just checking on the Amps rating of 20A in this plate. The trip switch in the board is rated as 16A I understand from the pic above.
Is that setup correct?

Thanks @EFLImpudence . You been a great help.

Collected to oven today only to see that it is fitted with a 13A plug. Owner, from new, informed that it was fitted as part of new kitchen. Now more head scratching.

Easiest options seem to be:

a) to remove plug and hard wire it into the current 13A flex plate as with current oven or,
b) replace flex plate with 13a 1-gang-dp switched/unswitched plug socket

NEITHER!

The spec says PLUG - NO PLUG

So that means no plug. 16A is more than 13A too, so you must hardwire the oven to the flex outlet plate that EFLI specified. NO FUSE!
 
Yes, must be hard wired into 20A flex plate. The other end of the cable is fitted with a clip on/off fitting to make removal easier.
