Probably in the wrong forum but I cant seem to post elsewhere.

I'm installing a new high-end Siemens cookers in my kitchen - a regular oven and a combination one. I've got separate spurs for each back to the fuse box via isolation switches.

The oven comes with a mains cable that plugs into the back of the oven. I can wire this to a 45A un-switched cooker point. When I put the oven in the cabinet, I can plug in the oven. Simplez.

The combination oven is not so simple. The mains cable is wired into the back of the oven. Its not so long. Problem is that the instruction says it must wired in to a plug rated 15A or more. Try as I may I cant find anything suitable in either toolstation or screwfix.

What do the pro's use and where can I get one?

Regards
 
Also, you'll probably find that's this thread gets moved to DIY section so I wont be able to continue the conversation as i'm not permitted to post in that area (can't be trusted, lol) but someone will help you out
 
Yes it should be moved there, I can still point you in the right direction hopefully. Obviously theres a bit more to it than jus connecting it, but let's start with the make Nd model so we can look at what we are dealing with.
 
Peter, the majority of ovens don't come with a cable these days as they are meant to be professionally installed, I would imagine its nothing untoward and just needs a bit of cable that's not particularly readily available in DIY style shops and needs connecting into a proper outlet that's all.
