Wiring a Belling Electric Cooker

[twistedflax]

Hi all

Just been given a Belling work top cooker. I need to know if i can wire this myself into a cooker point on the wall.

Belling Model 320r MK6
230-240/50htz
watts 4.30kw

Is there a step by step guide to do this?
Or is it just a case of match the colour and away ya go.

I dont know what the cooker is, but if it has a cable connected & you have a cooker point (NOT A 13 AMP SOCKET) just connect colours like 4 like.

Yeah it has it's own wire. A thick RED and BLACK wire with the earth wire in the middle. I just wanted to make sure that was all.

Thanks

Do you have a cooker point to conect to?
If you do just do it.
If you know where the fuse is as a precaution remove it, prior to connecting.
And then get someone else to switch on..

I'm still alive and the fuse has not tripped. All lights are working and there was loadsa heat from all the right bits!

Thanks for the help! I'm gonna get the woman to cook me some food!
