" To be, or not to be, that is the question " So what's Shakespere got to do with this I hear you ask..
Two Pin or not two pin ! ... get it ? :smile5:
Oh well the two pin saga continues .....:frown2:
Came across a Euro to UK convertor on Ebay which sounded interesting ...
Here's a bit of the blurb...
4 Way European Travel Adaptor
Traveling to the continent with multiple electrical products that will need charging or powering?
Unsure how many power points there are going to be?
[FONT=&]This 4 way travel adaptor is a great way to charge up, or power multiple items from just 1 European socket.
[FONT=&]This products comes with 0.5 meters of cable and is rated at 13 amps total output, so can be used to power the more heavy duty appliances, unlike most cheap travel adaptors which are only rated at 7.5 amps.

So I write to the guy, to see if he had anything suitable for my needs, our conversation as follows !
" If your oven is only drawing 1500 watts at 230volts, then that's only around 6.5amps.
You have a couple of options: you can either just cut the european plug off and wire on a UK plug or you can buy this adaptor I sell, item number 161044930311
,Just type the number into the eBay search bar. This adaptor is on 1.00mm² cable which is rated at 10amps, so is heavy duty enough for your oven.
It has a 5amp fuse fitted but I can easily change it to a 10 amp for you. "
My reply ....
Many thanx for your advice, however, there is a discrpancy between what it says on the back plate of the oven.. 230 V, to the details written on the plug it is fitted with which reads ~ 250 V 16 Amp, which is a lot more than 10 Amps....
Obviously, I do need to be very careful in choosing the best option to go with for this oven.
What do you think of the conflicting info between the back plate and the plug ?

Well so far the Ebay seller hasn't responded, .... Probably tearing his hair out by now, I do rather have that affect on people ! :teeth_smile:
I'd be interested to know what you guys think ?
Also, IF, I decide to simply, cut off the two pin plug ( which is seemlessly molded onto the cord for safty ) Will it be OK, to attach an ordinary 3 pin plug ( not professionally molded to the cord, which concerns me a bit ) along with a 16 Amp fuse inside ??
