We have just bought a Hotpoint ceramic hob and the wiring instructions are abysmal. We are running the hob off a 6mm cable which is linked to a new fuse board. The hob came with a cable already connected which has 2 live and 2 neutral and one earth and my husband in his wisdom removed this cable (without taking a photo) as he was going to wire the 6mm cable directly to the hob. When this didn't work he then couldn't remember how to re-connect the original cable. The connection plate has three connection on the left number 1,2,3 and three connections on the right numbered 4,5,6. The cable had two earth together and two live together, but they are in fact separate cable and one earth. Could someone advise in no technical language, if phases, loops are mentioned then I am lost.
