Advantages of electric oven of the hostess have evaluated at once. It not only safety and ease in management, but also expansion of functionality of the equipment. So modern electric ovens have united in themselves and possibility of the microwave oven with its option of defrosting, grill and cooking of food on couple. And if the choice of such oven – rather simple occupation, then in installation time it is necessary to solve several problems.

1. Study electric characteristics of oven for right installation of the socket. Depending on power consumption, it is necessary to calculate the maximum electric current demanded for connection of the equipment. Most often power happens about 3-3.5 kW - then there will be also 16 amperes enough. Otherwise it is necessary to count on current in 32 amperes.

2. Pick up the socket for oven. Pay attention to wiring in kitchen. If it was laid even at construction of the house, and it for certain was about 20-30 years ago, then for oven it is necessary to bring separate wire. The new line of electrical wiring is laid with use of copper wire which section depends on most required electric current. So at 16 amperes 2.5 mm2 there are enough, at 32 - 4.0 mm2.

3. Install the separate automatic machine for oven via which you will connect it to electroguard. It has to be calculated on current intensity in 25 or 40 amperes, at 16 or 32 ampere socket, respectively.

4. Make grounding of oven. For this purpose or organize separate line which will conduct in podjezdny power cabinet or use the special grounding vein if in your apartment the three-wire distributing is laid.
