Ikea double oven...........rating?

[fabgav111]

Hi all, sorry if this is wrong forum.

I am looking to install an Ikea Datid OV5/3 built in double oven (no hob)

After looking around I found out some ovens can go on a 13amp plug.

Trouble is, the oven I have has NO information of wattage or rating or anything, I've tried looking on t'inter-web but can not find a bean on it.

I can download the instructions, assemble info and guide, but I cant see anywhere in them the actually rating.

As per Appliance guides - IKEA

Anyway, if anyone knows or can see the needed information in the guide could someone advise on the wiring needed.

I wan planning on 6.0mm cable from CU on a 32amp MCB on the RCB side of CU then running that to oven isolation switch then down to connector plate.

My question really is, will 6.0mm be okay? and will 32amp be okay if the oven a lot less (so much so it could go on a 13amp plug)

Any advice muchly appreciated.

Thanks all


Oooo, forgot to mention, the oven has a thick cable out the back with capped ends so i take from the size of this cable it wont go in a plug

IMO, it will be fine. don't forget that the 32A MCB protects the 6mm cable from overload. if the appliance only pulls 13A, it will be cushty.

Quick response!

Thanks for that, I was just confused as I had read elsewhere of ovens being on a 20amp MCB or even a 16amp

So the 32amp is not 'too high' that it will never trip?

 

[telectrix]

if the oven is hard wired, then the 32A MCB is to protect 6mm cable only. if it has a BS1363 plug fitted, you need to fit a socket outlet on your 6mm, and the 13A 1362 fuse in the plug top will protect the cable to the cooker.

they're swedish, like abba, turnips, and the chef out of the muppets.

 

[telectrix]

and they supplied them germans with iron ore so they could bomb our chippy.

 

[fabgav111]

but they gave us good car safety?

i think you should go though the instrument again

I think it would be better to get an electrician to install this new circuit, along with the issue of an EIC....
