Oven with 13a plug top

[daveboy]

Been asked to fit new oven , which comes with a 13a plugtop , there is no socket close to plug into , if i cut plug off and connect into cooker unit connection behind cooker , do i have to adjust the 30a cooker unit fuse.

Replace the cooker switch above the worktop with a 13a switch fused spur, and then the cooker outlet under the worktop with a single socket.

No downgrading of the MCB required.

Why replace the cooker switch?
Presuming it's wired in 6.0mm cable, just replace the outlet point with a socket controlled via the cooker unit.
I wouldn't fancy 6mm in and out of a fcu, either.

could you lengthen the cable from the outlet and place a socket in an adjacent cupboard, if the oven has a plug on it they will normally be of the heavy duty kind (same as the one on mine), it will be fan assisted and will not melt the plug. If it comes supplied from the manufacturer with a plug on then it will be more than adequate.
