Replacement Single Electric Oven

K

kas

Ok guys advice needed.

I am swapping over a single electric built-in oven with a similar item, they both require hard-wiring, and are of similar power rating (2145w - 2335w).
The current oven is hard wired with the following grey cable

BASEC 300 / 500 V H 6242Y 6.0

Am I ok to use this cable (which is still in good condition) to hard-wire the new oven.
If so it should be a simple job, what is the max power this cable would be ok for.
Ps -There is a seperate oven isolation switch above the worktop to the left, and its own 32A fuse in the consumer unit.


 
No. it was hard wired as stated by Dixons, so used existing cable. It is slightly more powerful oven but based on previous comments 'assumed' 6mm cable would be fine.
Installed it on 23rd no probs, all working well.
Anyway thanks to everyone for their valuable input.
