Connecting your cooker

How to connect your cooker in the UK

[@_An0nym0usX]

If I was going to pay over £100 for a qualified sparky to install my cooker I wouldn't be on here watching Vids of how to do it myself 😂

Thank you for making this video, saved me quite a bit of money:)

[@christineodonovan3971]

I followed your video steps yesterday (12/7/2018) and I have lift off. Thank you very much :)

[@Tweed.Echidna]

Quick question: as there are multiple live and neutral screws, does it matter which ones you use if they are all connected by those little bridges?

[@torqingheads]

No, any one will do.

[@mark6uk-artfilm505]

called out an electrician but it cost £180. A few days later it wasn’t working so called them back but had only forgot to switch the switch on the wall . Damn ! They billed £150 just for coming out and flicking a wall switch. Total cost £330 .

[@marcwilson1957]

Some recent Hotpoint cookers, at least, have terminals that need either an 8mm spanner or a 4mm Allen key, rather than the crosshead screws shown.

[@onescot302]

Watch your video got a new cooker did not how to wire it up had it working in a hour so thanks. From Scotland

[@paulmaddox7107]

Big help I managed to hook the cooker up with help from this video. 😁

[@donnanoel8445]

Hi got my cooker today came with no cable were do I get this from pls and thanks

[@LesleyMead-fc3dv]

If my electric cable earth isn’t covered with the yellow and green cable cover, but is in between the blue and brown and all coved with the grey wires cover ,can you still use it?

[@warrenchisholm8935]

cheers mate!! cooker wired up successfully! !

[@burgermeestertaurah868]

Than you. you saved me $180 and time as well. I took me just 10 minutes to get it fixed.

[@MarkChapman-nx4ln]

What if earth isn't coated can still use it?? Got wire from sparky on site

[@annoyingwheels975]

[@JammyGit]

AO want £90 to do this job, and it's £90 I just don't have, so this video is ideal thanks 👍

[@judithwainwright8377]

just bought an aeg induction double oven and wiring connectors at back have 220 and 240v. What puzzles me is that the 240v connectors have been blanked but surely connection should be made to the 240v

[@jordanbrooks4834]

I’ve just purchased bush betaw50b cooker and I haven’t got a clue what I’m Looking at but doesn’t seem to have come with a wire to connect cooker to the wall. Where can I purchase one from and what will I need?

[@BongiswaSiko]

Thank you, but for me I stragglers to connect inside

[@MitsosMitsoulas]

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

[@shaneclarke7482]

mine only has two copper connectors, both sides at the top 2 screws

[@yensabi]

You must fit cable spade connectors to the ends of your cable for a secure connection to the terminals otherwise those wires will work loose when moving the cooker into position and can cause a fire / electrocution risk......!!!!!!

[@joeprosecco3623]

yensabi the cable is clamped so wires can't move.

[@patrickparker8417]

They can come out of the spade connectors just as easy .

[@kellysavery7490]

I bought a new cooker the wires on older one are black. Red. Green and yellow are these old wires there a ppain to get in to the new terminals should i get new ones

[@alanahhannah]

just bought an electrolux induction cooker and the connectors at the back are different from this one! there are 6 screws, with 3 of them being blanked off with white plastic things! so, do the wires go on to the open ones or the blanked off ones?

[@tiffanymariano977]

What do we call the U shape copper inside please, the one on the video... thank you

[@jasonh1158]

what if i have a cooker wall socket? can i install a plug to a cooker wire?

[@dawei53]

definitely NOT! Cookers draw much more than a 13amp plug can take.

[@kibwanamoseskule3171]

Its very helpful but then which distance can a cooker control unit be installed from a finished floor

[@dawei53]

you can't do that yourself, you need an electrician to put the supply into the cooker switch

[@robstrickenfeary]

Well... that seems simple. Can't wait to have my oven explode as soon as i cook something XD ...narrrr everything seems fine. I've done everything correct, i just had to trim the wires because it wouldn't fit neatly, was my decision to trim the wires right?

[@robstrickenfeary]

Also, the bucklet that came with the oven told me to connect the L to bottom left and the N to middle right.

Is using crimps a good idea?

[@Case_]

If your wires are stranded (which they should be when you're connecting a cooker), then it is not only a good idea to use crimps, it is the way it should be done in the first place. Stranded wires should never be tightened directly under a screw, that's an accident waiting to happen.

[@glumainterzisa7193]

Thank you for help 🤕

[@cameliakay3808]

Where’s the wire coming from Cah I can’t see it

[@leeball4585]

2:55 The cables I have seen have bare earth wires with no sleeve - are they okay to use?

[@dawei53]

You must put the sleeving on the earth wire. It's very cheap and can be bought from an electrical shop

[@Case_]

It's hard to see in the video due to the low quality of the image, but it looks like you're directly tightening stranded wires under the screws without any sort of crimp/ferrule used. If so, that is a very bad and more importantly quite dangerous practice that also goes against regulation. It's something that should never be done as it greatly increases the risk of accident and/or injury.

[@colonynaut1627]

What is the name of those tiny ferrules on the ends of the wires? I know ferrules, but these are little gold ones without a jacket and I was wondering where I might buy them.

[@Case_]

@@colonynaut1627 Not sure what you mean, but if by "jacket" you mean the plastic "funnel" that's on most ferrrules made these days, then I believe that's not part of all ferrules and some of them are essentially simply small metal tubes of certain length, which are then crimped on cables. But I'm not a native English speaker, so it's also possible this type is called something specific and I just have no idea what the real name is.

[@okoromicky973]

Thanks v . Much, this video safe 50 € for me. .

[@zinabfalah4283]

thanks 👍👍👌👌🌷🌷❤❤

[@lmtt123]

Could you make another video please but more blurry.

[@dt-ng3eb]

why are there 6 connectors when only 3 are needed ?

[@Case_]

Because using only three wires is the least optimal way to connect a cooker and there are better options available, and the terminal box can be reconfigured accordingly. Ideally, you'd have five wires - three live phase wires, a neutral wire and a protective earth wire. You'd then remove the copper bridges between the terminals on the left and connect each phase (live) wire to a separate terminal. It is the best way to connect a cooker if you have three-phase power mains available - there are various possible issues with the way it is done in the video using only a one phase wiring.

[@Case_]

@Fiddleriddlediddle For the sake of safety, I would say it depends on which ones and how you're connecting the whole thing. There might be scenarios where 2.5 mm might not be enough/safe. Best/safest way would probably be to measure the cross section of the original bridge and use a wire with at least the same cross section. Also be sure to either not use a stranded wire, or use ferrules if you do.

[@Case_]

@Fiddleriddlediddle You can use stranded, but only if you also use ferrules on it. It's a big no-no to put stranded cable in screw terminals, it is a big safety hazard - the stranded wire can easily become looser under the screw, creating higher contact resistance and potentially start a fire or cause other issues. In fact, from what you've described so far, it would probably be best to have a certified electrician do your wiring, this all sounds somewhat dodgy to me, and a faulty wiring in a cooker is not something to be playing with IMO.

This video does not comply with the current wiring regulations for the cooker cable. You must use the cooker manufacturers recommended cable. Technique is Ok in my opinion.

[@fartiepantze7441]

This is quite simply the WORST connection box on the market, do not buy this cooker as your Electrician will want to kick the shite out of you by the time he's finished connecting it

[@bobcummings154]

He is wrong about using 6mm cable .10mm is the correct cable to use under recent regulations

[@Dog-whisperer7494]

It is important that all electrical appliances are installed by suitably qualified person registered with a competent person scam ? Wrong there is no legal requirement for any one to be registered with a competent person scam or to-be qualified . You clearly are not qualified or competent, as you have mentioned nothing about tightening the terminal screws to the manufacturers required torque setting or electrical testing the cooker before switching the power back on, ie continuity ie R1+R2 and insulation resistance test. And to complete a minor works certificate to certify that the install is safe. and what safe isolation and locking of the MCB then test to prove the circuit is dead . I have been an qualified electrician for thirty three years so I know you are talking rubbish. Do the job right or leave it to the professionals. Also you have put out a video showing the general home owner how to install and connect an electric cooker, and you mentioned nothing about safe isolation and proving the circuit is dead by testing it with a GS38 approved two pole voltage indicator and locking off the circuit MCB RCBO. And what about filling out a mirror works certificate. .what a pilchard.
