They should usually come with a copper link?? (looks like a small section of busbar) ... if not as above

Not me, I was in the library!If this was a gas forum would this be happening? Who going to take the blame when all the help goes wrong.
guess that as you have done it is almost right. with the connections as you have said,link L1 to L2, then try that. sounds like L1 feeds 2 rings and L2 feeds the other 2.
No it’s not damaged there’s no live feed to the rest of the hob it depends on cable size into the box and total power rating of the hobAfter spending half a day making the hole bigger in the worktop for the new hob, the thought of unscrewing the oven as well and messing around with that was not appealing. So I thought I would try connecting the old wire that I had disconnected from the old hob into the new hob (silly me)
Switched off the electricity for the whole house,
The new hob has four ports for the wires, Earth, L1, L2 and N.
Connected earth/blue/yellow cable into earth socket, brown into L2 and blue into N as per instruction manual. Manual showed black going into L1 but of course this was the old cable so that one was missing.
Probably not a great idea I know. Anyway the hob powered on, but I could only get heat from the two front rings heated up.
Have I damaged the hob? Would wiring it up properly really be that difficult?
I'm sure it's sorted by now, 2 years on!!?No it’s not damaged there’s no live feed to the rest of the hob it depends on cable size into the box and total power rating of the hob
The wiring diagram with a new Belling Ceramic hob could be better -a lot better. The wires that would have been connected to three phase are brown and black connected to 240 v AC they are connected to the live terminal = out load on the double pole isolator switch. The blue N wire connect as usual to Neutral out Load. The earth wire connects to earth as usual. A good earthing is required due to a fair load = approx 6 Kw.Brought a new hob Russell Hobbs (RH60EH402B) because the old one was cracked. New one seems to have four wires, but the old one only had 3. I think I need to pull out the oven to get access to the box that the wires feed into. Do you think I will I be able to connect the new hobs wires easily into this box?
