New Cooker And Microwave

[carlils]

Hi, I would appreciate some advice and guidance on the installation of a new cooker and a new microwave.

We have completely stripped out our kitchen and have ordered a new cooker and a new microwave combi  to go into a tall kitchen unit.  It was only after we had the microwave delivered that we realised it was 3.45KW as well.

They arre both rated at 3.45KW ( NEFF C18MT37N0B and NEFF B48CT38N0B), the instruction manual for the microwave says connect using a 16A plug or isolating switch and the cooker says a protective contact socket or isolating switch.

We already have a 6mm cable running to the kitchen from the old cooker we took out,  It will be extremely difficult to run a second 6mm cable.

Is it acceptable to run both appliances from the same 6mm cable with a 16A plug and socket for each appliance  from the same supply ?

Does anyone have any ideas.   Thank you very much.

What do the manufacturers instructions say about the electrical connections?

Shoot me now, only yesterday for the same reason i connected a 3.45kw microwave combi oven on a 13a plug. There were 2 other ovens though (and a coffee maker) in a 4 unit square. I told the customer if the fuse ever does blow i will have to rewire the lot & that will only happen if she uses the oven element in the micro for a prolonged period.

I also wonder what the current draw actually is as i have never seen less than 242 v at the house & the rating is probably measured at 230 ( baring in mind its not just a fixed load heating element).

Ps, i think its the same ovens as yours

Given what you have posted, yes. What are your concerns? Does the installation method allow for a 32A OCPD?

Hi, these are the two sets of instruction from the NEFF online manuals that were asked for, apologies for the delay, I could not paste the directly from the NEFF site I have had to re-type them in.   Thanks.

Is it acceptable to run both appliances from the same 6mm cable with a 16A plug and socket for each appliance  from the same supply ?  Seeing some of the replies it is looking ok, the fuse will be a 32A and only these two items will be on the 6mm circuit.

The appliance corresponds to protection class 1 and must only be operated with a protective earth connection.

The fuse protection must correspond to the power rating specified on the appliance’s rating plate and to local regulations.

The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply whenever installation work is being carried out.

The appliance must only be connected with the power cable provided. Connect the power cable to the back of the appliance (listen for click).

A 3M power cable can be obtained from the after-sales service.

The power cable must only be replaced with a cable from the original manufacturer, which can be obtained from the after-sales service.

When the appliance is installed, protection must be provided against accidental contact in the future.

The appliance must only be connected to a properly installed protective contact socket.

If the plug is no longer accessible following installation, an all-pole isolating switch must be present on the installation side with a contact gap of at least 3mm.

The appliance must only be connected by a licensed professional.

The installation must have an all-pole isolating switch with a contact gap of at least 3mm. Identify the live and neutral conductors in the mains socket. The appliance may be damaged if it is not connected correctly.

Only connect the hob as shown in the connection diagram. See the rating plate for the voltage. Connect the wires of the mains power cable according to the colour coding: Green/yellow = PE conductor, blue = neutral conductor, brown = live (external conductor).

Only allow a licenced professional to connect the appliance. He is subject to the regulations of the local electricity provider.

An all-pole isolating switch with at least a 3mm contact gap must be fitted in the installation. Identify the phase and neutral (zero) conductor in the connection socket. Incorrect connection may cause damage to the appliance.

Only connect as per the connection diagram. See the rating plate for the voltage. Connect the wires of the mains power cable according to the colour coding: Green/yellow = PE conductor, blue = neutral conductor, brown = live (external conductor).
