Hi so am I best using ring crimps like the yellow ones or non insulated ones. The hob has 4 screws in so could take them out and use these if that's safe and allowed.get the appliance first. you may need to use ring crimps.
all depends on the terminals in the appliance. some use ring crimps, some just have the wires inserte alongside the screw ( with ferrukles if flex). have you got a photo of the terminals?Hi so am I best using ring crimps like the yellow ones or non insulated ones.

It does say that but we are self isolating due to corona virus and being high risk. So i have to do it myself. I'm an engineer so can manage connecting a cable that's why I want to know correct way to do it with the correct cable.The instructions probably say it must be installed by a competent electrician!
What I was alluding too was that Apprentice's need not apply, if everything had to be fitted by qualified electricians, apprentice's could not exist, to be honest any type of engineer is capable of wiring a hob and reading a few diagram's on the back/underside of an appliance, it was not aimed at you, but the stupid manual no offence was meant.
I'd like to think that the engineer was the one who created the diagrams......to be honest any type ofengineertechnician is capable of wiring a hob and reading a few diagram's...
Different manufacturer’s say different things. But it ends up at the same litigation point.@ Midwest, It is, but the regulations say competent, not qualified.
This is what I originally done but thought it wasn't ample enough so came here for advice. I don't know weather to use bootlace ferrules or ring crimp connectors.all depends on the terminals in the appliance. some use ring crimps, some just have the wires inserte alongside the screw ( with ferrukles if flex). have you got a photo of the terminals?

So it is I didn't see that ?You did not need to make a makeshift link for the top 2 terminals, the manufacturer has supplied one!! It is in your photo, beside the cord clamp.
From my understanding you can't put a 2.5mm cable on a 32a CB . I would recommend 4mm on the 32a CB or if you decide to stay with the 2.5mm you have to change the CB to 20A32amp for hob only
This is an old thread but, there are a few ways that 2.5mm can be installed protected by a 32A breaker without falling foul of any reg.From my understanding you can't put a 2.5mm cable on a 32a CB .

Even after a couple of beers you are absolutely correctThis is an old thread but, there are a few ways that 2.5mm can be installed protected by a 32A breaker without falling foul of any reg.
1. fixed load appliance
2. spur from a ring final circuit
there may be others but I have had a couple of beers so not as sharp upstairs as I am in working hours.
