Help wiring new oven

[westieboy]

Hi all, i'm a new member and can see this forum may be extremely useful.

I've just purchased a new oven rated at 2.4 kw, it has a 3 pin plug on it. My old oven was hardwired via an isolation switch. The hardwire cable is 15mm thick.

Can i just removed the plug cable and replace it with the hardwire cable?

I have bought one of those isolation switches with a seperate socket on it but am not too sure i need it, any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

Getting an electrician in is your best bet.

If you start opening up the stove to replace the cable you're likely to invalidate the warranty and the wiring colours may be different so you may connect it incorrectly. I'd find a sparky on here that's close to your location, the entire job may well take less than an hour to do it properly and it would be money well spent.

I've found that as the oven has a 13amp fused plug and the mains wiring comes through an isolation switch that i can just fit a normal 3 pin socket. That i have now done and all is hunky dorey. Thanks or your help guys, and yes this thread may as well be closed now.
