Can any oven be hard wired if we choose to do that?
Is it easy to install an outlet behind an the...

Hi all,
Recently a mate had a new kitchen fitted, he's gone for an induction hob and pyrolytic oven, no gas at the property. At 1st fix a single 32A 6mm supply was installed to run both the oven and hob, the electrician already knew the exact specs of the appliances to be installed, and no...
My parents and my oven both need new oven lamps but both mine and their glass lamp covers are completely stuck / cross threaded and won't come undone to get to the lamp.
Is there a dang secret to get these glass covers off ? I don't want to force it and end up breaking the glass

I need to provide supply to an oven, hob (ignition only) and hood.

Hi,
I am trying to figure out if my defy dgs906 gas/electric oven is single or 3 phase. The manual says it can be either or but the L1, L2 and L3 are not bridged so I assume its 3 phase.
I am not doing the wiring but need to pull the correct cable before the electrician comes to install as I...
This is a strange one and before I contact the company who installed my new oven I wanted to ask for some advice. Ever since I had a new oven installed my electric hob has been considerably hotter than it was before, even on the lowest setting food burns very quickly whereas it never did before...

32AMP Breaker > 6MM Cable > Cooker Switch 45a > 4mm cable > Double Socket which powers both.

Is this right or do...
Howdy experts,
I normally run 6mm T+E for cooker circuits, housing authority spec. I'm changing my gas inbuilt double oven and hob for electric/induction to pre-prep for the upcoming winter gas shortage.
Has anyone done 2x45A cooker isolators on the same circuit, I ran 10mm and a 40A MCB...
I'm interested what people's gut reaction solution would be.
Kitchen design and customer said freestanding cooker. So I first fix 10mm, and boxes for cooker switch with socket, and cooker connection plate.
No one thought to tell me it became hob (elsewhere, that bit isn't a problem), and a...
Hi all and please forgive me if this has been asked many times before,

Every time oven gets to temperature it trips the RCD. Thought the oven must be knackered so got a new one. That does the exact same thing. Any ideas? I should add that this is a brand new house. Just moved in yesterday
