Ask your QuestionHi, I need to replace a built in oven. Can I wire this into a 13amp fused spur? Does the oven need to be less than 3kw?
The cooker hasn't got its own supply straight from fuse board.
Thanks
"Most modern oven’s are fan oven’s they will work off of a 13 amp plug
They normally come with a plug attached"
"Yes Darren if es undef3kw you are fine whit a 13amp .But if is a 3kw or over that you require hard wire usual is a 6 mm"

Wiring in off a spur is not a problem at all, but do include a 13A fuse in the spur socket though.
And also do check and make sure the new oven is less than 3kW"
"Yes you can as the majority of new ovens come with its plug. They already working with 13 amps. Thanks"

A double oven could need it's own supply"
