13 Amp plug on a 2.9kW oven

So you know the model number but choose not to disclose it..... I refer you back to post # 11

The oven did come with a manual, but I think the clients threw it out accidentally, so I'll have to download a new one

Ahh. I thought that it was YOUR kitchen.so, basically, you are doing this for clients and - I assume for reward.
I think you need to get your act together, then.

Everything you need to know is on the Neff site.

One well known kitchen manufacturer stipulates no more than 2mtrs of flex on their ovens for example.

That would mean a connection outlet plate directly behind the oven as you need the thing out of the way and some slack to physically get in and connect it up. I prefer an appropriately sized H07 flex direct from the cooker panel to the oven and hob, just seems easier to me unless the two things are in different places of course.

I know , but they just design them lol.

One of my local retards stripped back some 6mm T&E to cram it in to a plug top!

I'm sure he NEFF stuff I've wired in recently didn't come with a flex but the instructions asked for HO5 rated cable.

so any cable with harmonised colours and 300V insulation then?

Why an 07 voltage rating?

Because that's the one they always keep in stock at the wholesaler I use most.

....

If you have a problem and do not do what NEFF say, then you'll find the nice shiny warranty from neff goes in the bin.

The warranty will only be invalid if the problem is caused by the failure to follow the instructions.

too stop the volt drop. can't have these pesky volts dripping off when xmas dinner is cooking.

I would guess that is a hang up from when the regulations prohibited a flex permanently connected to the fixed installation from being longer than 2metres

Just an update if it's of any use to anyone. I managed to get hold of a copy of the manual and it does infact give you the option of using a plug. What was confusing was the information originally supplied by Neff customer service who said it HAD to be hardwired. And yet when I called them today they said it's absolutely fine.
Yes yes, I know, goes back to the point that I should follow the manual and nothing else. Ok, I get it. The point is, it's safe and meets the manufacturers requirements. Shame I couldn't get the manual before. I still can't find it electrocnically from that product code. Anyway Specifically here is the text:

"Connecting the appliance to the power supply -
Power cord: Type H05 V V-F or a higher rating. The yellowgreen
wire for the safety earth terminal must be 10 mm longer on the
appliance side than the other wires.
In the installation, there must be an all-pin isolating switch with at
least 3 mm contact gap, or the appliance must be connected
using a plug with an earthing contact. This must remain
accessible after installation."

Cheers for all the replies.
