Hi hope no one mind me asking more wiring questions but I still need some helpe regarding the wiring of a new double electric oven. My situation is as follows:
My new kitchen is getting fitted next week and I've been doing alot of chasing for new appliances to ensure cables are all hidden. The problem I have is the inclusion of a new electric double oven in a tall wall cabinet, flanked by other tall units and a double fridge. (approximate rating of 4.2kW)
The existing cooker outlet is in the far corner of the wall from a previous install, and is around 1.5m from the new oven position. I know I need to fit a new cooker control switch but with no worktop close by the only place I can think of is inside the adjacent cupboard. Have you come across this scenario before and can you recommend anything please?
My first thoughts are to chase to behind the adjacent cupboard, feed the cable through a hole and fit a surface mounted cooker control switch, and then run a cable from that back out through the same hole to a terminal outlet box' fixed to the wall directly behind the oven. Then run a suitable flex to the oven.
I have looked on the "how to" sections but not found a similar scenario. Hopefully the answer to this will be of use to anyone else in the same situation as me.
Can anyone advise please?
