    Hi,

    I bought a new electrical cooker today (Whirlpool), presuming I only had to plug it in. However, it has to be wired. Anyone any tips on how to do this?

    Tip 1 would be to find the missing screw from the brown terminal. Tip 2 would be to connect the blue to blue, brown to brown & green/yellow to green/yellow. :-)

    Is the in coming white cable fitted to a plug?

    I think it's only an oven, that's why I asked the wattage..

    I have the screw. I know that I need to 'match the colours' my question is how, as there is no obvious way to do it (at least not obvious to me who can wire a plug but not much else..)
    The White cable is wired correctly into the wall, I am replacing an existing electric oven.

    This is the one I bought :

    I dont see much on the specs there, But if thats going into a main cooker connection it may need to be spurred down.

    The ferrule goes under the screw head.Turn back 2 or 3 turns, put in ferrule and re-tighten. Put the tail into the left side of the screw, so as you tighten it wouldn't come back like it would if you put it in on the right.

    Get an electrician.
    If you were looking for a MASS would you call a priest

    I got a quote for €100 for what looks like a very simple job. A priest to say Mass would be cheaper!
