Hi, bought a Hotpoint single oven and a ceramic hob to upgrade the kitchen. The hob is hardwired but the oven comes with a 13A fused plug.
The current wiring is 10mm cable from a 40A RCBO to a cooker switch above the worktops with a socket on it. Then 10mm cable from it to a cooker connection below the worktops.
Any advice on how to wire them in. I was thinking the hob will be fine wired into the cooker connection. Where would I plug the oven into though. Its an old style house so all walls are solid brick.
The plug is a fixed one that is molded together.
I was wanting to keep the socket on the cooker switch above the counter free as it is used a fair bit.
If I keep the plug on the oven does it need to be above the counter or could I have it where the cooker connection is?. I can only see 2 options.
1 would be to remove the plug and wire it in with the hob. However seen as it has a fused plug fitted to 13A I dont think this would be an answer
So other option would be to run a spur from the cooker connection under the counter and connect a single socket?.
Any help would be much appreciated.
