I’m not an electrician. I bought this new oven and looking at the manual there’s nothing much about wiring it up in the manual (that i can find). I’m assuming it’ll be 6mm cable hardwired to the wall (hopefully thats already installed behind the old one). The consumer unit has a 32Amp switch (which seems high since the hob is gas). What will be the CPC core size sleeve I will need? 3mm?

thank you. I’m hoping there’s already some 6mm in there from the old oven. What sized earth sleeve when i strip it back?

my gas hob? does that need a fuse?

ah ok thank you. the videos i’ve seen of oven installations have all had the fitter adding sleeve separately.
if you check the installation instructions for the hob it will tell you the fuse it should have. a lot of the time you plug them into a conveniant 13A socket with a 3A fuse in the plug
connecting to a 30A main without a smaller fuse means a bigger bang if something fails and thats not good

ah I don’t think I made it clear. The hob is gas and staying that way.
but the gas hob has an ignition circuit that mains operated and should not be connected to a 30A main
but the instructions will tell you
