Advice for Mini Oven

[Kez 8]

Hi folks,
I have a mini oven /grill. The maker is ~Severin , I think they are maybe a German company... Received the oven, brand new via Ebay....It is a nice looking / quality machine however it has a two pin plug....
Can I use a reguler three pin plastic converter so I can plug in here in the UK, or would this be dangerous for an oven ? It is a 1500 W ....

It matters not who or where it was manufactured but what does matter is the country for its intended use. What voltage does the name plate state?

As above - let us know exactly what the rating plate says. A photo would be ideal, although you may not have permission yet as a new user. Daz

It is 230 V 50 HZ

Is it something like this? Severin Table Oven 20L | Crosscraft

As the manual says.







Connection to the mains supply






The appliance should only be connected to


an earthed socket installed in accordance


with the regulations. Make sure that the


supply voltage corresponds with the voltage


marked on the rating label of the appliance.


This product complies with all binding CE


labelling directives.

But that's what we're after - the rated voltage, etc. Daz

Everything on the plate as follows :
Severin 1500 W -
There is a Triangle shape,
Art.To 2036
CE ( in large format )
Type 2036
17 EX

Sorry my replies are so slow reaching you, they need to be reviewed first as I am a newbie :sad3:

Btw, There is a booklet with it ( in various languages ) The oven is described as a ~Rotisserie Toast Oven.. Yes it does look a bit like the one in the photo.... Not sure how many Litres this one is though...

If the voltage, etc. does prove to be OK I wouldn't recommend using a euro adaptor. They don't give very good contact and at that sort of power could lead to a bit of local overheating of the contacts. Would be better to fit the correct plug. Assuming the voltage/frequency requirements prove to be OK that is. Daz

To the best of my knowledge a product supplied to the UK market for domestic use is legally required to have a BS1363 plug fitted.
If it doesn't then send it back and report the seller to trading standards for appropriate legal action to be taken against then

if it comes with a 3 core flex, then just cut the mickey mouse plug off and fit a bs1363. if it's 2 core flex, then the applince should have a classII symbol.

Unfortunately, it's way too late to do anything about it now.... Purchased the oven absolutely ago..... It's been in storage... Only recently unpacked it to place in my refurbished kitchen ...... I didn't expect it to have a two pin plug, such a disappointment ..

Where do I look for the Symbol ? Would that be the Triangular thing ?
