Sort of!
A mate of mine was just investigating the failure of his electric oven, and in the process was able to reverse engineer some of the guidelines obviously used by the original kitchen fitters (house is relatively new).
For your enjoyment:
- Installing a built in oven: the oven casing has ventilation slots. There is no need whatsoever to install the unit into a ventilated housing. Indeed, experience shows that after nearly ten years' operation there is only localised scorching to the chipboard surface, and the house has never burned down.
- Wiring up a built in oven: if the oven has terminals for 1.5mm2 cable, it is straightforward to connect it to a 40 amp cooker supply. Simply take the 6mm2 cable from the cooker outlet and cut off a few strands so the wire will go into the screw terminals. Saves all the hassle and expense of putting a fcu. Don't worry that the wiring inside the oven is only 1.5mm2 ... you need never know it is there.
- Making the connection: make sure the earth wire is really short - just long enough to reach. This makes sure that in the event of a physical disturbance, the earth wire will pull out first, leaving the live and neutral in place so the oven carries on working. When you tighten the terminals, overtighten the earth terminal. This will strip the thread and help the earth wire to pull out cleanly.
- Built-in hob: these are heavy enough to stay put under their own weight. The clamps supplied are cosmetic; discard them. There is no need to use a gasket either. Just cut four lengths of foam draught-proof strip and attach one along each edge. Make sure you use the thinnest available strip, so it cannot touch the work top or do anything.
- Work top: no need to fix this down either. The weight of the hob, together with a bit of friction from the wall tiles will do the trick fine.
- As a finishing touch, put the two cables from the cooker connection unit one on top of each other instead of side by side. This will put a hair line crack into the cable clamp when you tighten it up, just about invisible until the next person comes along.
