Electric Cooker advice

[ajtaylor09]

I have a Bosh cooker to install on the weekend and was wondering on any advice you could provide me on installing it, tips and tricks etc...?

Am i right to think i need 2.5mm T&E cable for this job also what rating should the amp be in the ccu?

Previous oven was installed via a 13amp plug

What is the power of your Bosh cooker

 

[ajtaylor09]

Energy consumption0.79 kWh
It is a BOSCH HBN331E0B

Sorry, in work and a bit stressed out so previous info was pants.
Its
Electrical connection rating (W)2350Current (A)16Voltage (V)220-240

2.5 radial on 16A breaker (unless you've got a socket on the cooker switch)

 

[i=p/u]

probably could go on plug top if not on 1 2350/ 230 =10.2A , plug 13A or 2.5 should be fine

 

[ajtaylor09]

the cooker needs to be wired aswell.
So shall i put a plug on the end or hard wire it in?

 

[i=p/u]

upto you

There is already a cooker circuit, but there is a 13amp plug socket at the end

well if your specs are right you could put on plug top or just change face plate and hard wire in. using flex or you 2.5mm

If you've got a socket as pasrt of the cooker switch, you will need to upgrade the cable and breaker - potential for drawing 26 amps which would be outside the the range of a 2.5 radial circuit. Failing that - replace the cooker switch with one that doesn't incorporate a socket!

does your cooker switch have plug socket beside it or isit behind cooker?????????

 

[ajtaylor09]

The cooker circuit is a radial circuit already.
Instead of having a cooker connection box there is a single 13amp plug socket, underneath the work top.

The new cooker doesnt come with any wiring at all.

Can i just wire up a 13amp plug to the cooker and connect that?

or do i have to change to a cooker connection and hard wire it in.

 

[i=p/u]

you can put plug top on it if u know what your at and it under 13A
