Can someone tell me about cooker cables, the in-laws have had a new kitchen fitted, but they have put the cooker on 2.5mm cable, and wired it in to the ring main off a switched fuse ???
the cooker is a range master, for some reason the kitchen fitters took the manual for the cooker ???
but I have download a copy, it states that with both ovens, clock and grill it's 7.5kw (the hob is gas)
the reason I ask is because on Saturday had family party, used the ovens and the fuse blown, not much fun when your half way cooking, I always thought cooker cables are 6mm.
the manual does say 2.5mm to 6mm but to me the lines point to the cores in the cable, if that makes sense
 
Welcome to the forum .. I've approved your thread for general forum for speed of response as your only asking advice, when admin is on line you will be assigned a DIY status.

Be gentle boys he only asking if it's done wrong.
