It says on the instructions that the Hob must be hard wired. Can I not just plug it in its only 3amp fuse. Please help and explain your answer. If it has to be hard wired where can i get my loop from? can I take it from the Oven wiring?

I've fitted hundreds of (electric) hobs and ovens, and have never come across this instruction before, hobs only have power for the spark ignition and will be fused at 3 amps. Does it not already have a 13 amp plug fitted?? It is normal to plug them in to an adjacent socket, you could loop a socket from the oven supply as long as it is exclusive for the hob ignition, and is adjacent to the oven connection point.

hi the hob can be fitted or should be fitted with a 3amp plug power only required for ignition the oven if a single oven can be fitted to a 13amp plug if a double electric oven it should be wired direct to a 30 amp 6mm cable supply with a cooker switch to switch it off which u need a electrician to wire by law hope this helps ps you cant come off the cooker wires which should be 6mm for the hob u may beable to covert the cooker wiring to a Doyle or single socket u Will be better getting a electrician in from the start

Your Question doesn't make any sense, if your Hob is gas, you will need a gas supply and installation must be carried out by Corgi engineer, it is illegal to carry this work out on your own. As for the Oven it is not a 3 amp fuse, but 13 amp. this can be plugged in to any suitably located socket. Ensure you secure the oven into the housing.

sometimes a new appliance will make quite a smell during its "Burn-in" period. Basically, the oil used during manufacturing needs to burn off. Manufacturers recommend up to 4 hours sometimes. If it is not new, it could also be something touching the electric heating elements- baked on food/ grease. Try taking all the removable panels out of the oven interior and wash them, and then wipe down the oven interior with a mild detergent. Scoop up any debris that might be laying in the bottom of the oven also.

If the oven is less than 3kw than you can wire it into a plug-

Or you can wire it into a fused switched connection unit, you can have this above the worktop so that it is easy to isolate the supply. Below the worktop install a fused connection unit on the same circuit as the switched FCU and then wire the hob into this and use a 3 amp fuse.

the oven is just a normal 220v plug. but the hob needs to be wired differently. best get a sparky to do it as this is a tricky job.
DO NOT PLUG THE HOB INTO A NORMAL SOCKET.

I would be inclined to get a professional electrician to look at it. Preferably and E.C.A. or NICEIC registered one, just to be on the safe side.
