can i do this

[yellowgold1]

hello,

I just wondered if anyone can please help.

I have a range cooker that needs to be hardwired in to the wall.

I wonder if I can just wire it straight in myself and then plug the other plug into the above worktop socket.

my wall has the electric thingy on the wall about a foot below cooker level and then it has the electric socket with a switch on the wall just above the worktop. thank you

Stuff it in a connector block, cocoon it in (any) tape and hide it under the units.

Wait for burning fishy smell then call an electrician.

thanks I have stuffed it in the block but I cant smell a fishy smell yet. what am I doing wrong?

Find the spec plate on the oven, it could be on the back but most likely just inside one of the doors, this will give you the total rating of the whole lot.

make & model of the range might help.
