[Help] Wiring a plug help

You need a separate 16A mcb type b from your d/b fed to an isolator then you can connect the oven to the load side on the isolator.

What could be more straightforward?

if unsure then get someone who knows what they are doing BUT if its a gas hob and oven, and the electric is just for the light and ignition then it is just a normal 13amp plug- we have just got a new gas oven and hob, with electric light and ignition and grill-normal plug is fine. If as others have said its an electric hob or oven then it needs hardwiring by a professional

The original oven was set up with the plug socket when the kitchen was fitted a while ago. It's possible the plug socket is attached to its own breaker. My niece knows an electrician who is going to come over and have a look.

Are you still with us?

It’s painful viewing that’s for sure

The oven requires a 16 or 20A radial socket switched by a 20A double pole switch wired in 2.5 cable. If you have a 30A cooker switch as someone mentioned this is not suitable due to cable size.

Impossible to price on here as I don’t know the proximity to your CCU is the CCU adequate to house another circuit? Many variables call a local electrician for advice and a price.

As a general rule If the appliance doesn’t come with a 13A plug already installed by the manufacturer it’s not suitable for a 13A plug.

Hope this helps

That has saved me a few quid and near death experiences over the last few years

Willing to be told different but….

looking at the pic, there is NO WAY those wires are designed to be used with a standard 3 pin plug, so it ain’t no gas cooker. That needs to be professionally hard wired in.

True story...

I started an electronics business and didn't actually know how to wire a plug either.

Google or YouTube is your friend these days. Back in 2003, when I started it, it took about an hour for the page to load - by which time I'd already wired blue to live.

Rubbish it can be hard wired in by anyone who knows what they are doing why pay?

If the cooker point Is not in use currently ?
The fuse could be downsized in the fuse board to a 16/20 A to make it useable / suitable
Still best to get someone in But it might save the grief of running a new supply
Just to throw another option into the already confusing mix

genuinely surprised by that. never seen an oven that runs off a normal plug, although this one has no hob.

That’s why it’s called an oven and not a cooker

Disclaimer: I am lousy at DIY.

I've just received a new oven and need to put a plug on it. However, the end of the wire looks like this:

View attachment 148719

It's been years since I last wired a plug. Do I need to remove those clips on the end or is that some new thing to make it easier and should be left on?

I hae tried googling, but not managed to find anything about it.

Leave the clips on and insert into a raw potato. Dinner should be on the table in 10-15 years.

Last two ovens we have had (18 years ago, and 9 years ago) both came with plugs - just goes in the normal ring circuit sockets. It all depends on the loading - ours is an efficient low energy oven only - the hob is separate and is gas.
