Hey all,

Got a new stove coming tomorrow, so I thought I'd take out the old one and unplug it....WRONG. I found that the danged thing is wired directly, which I don;t think is done any more here (I'm a Brit...been here 7 years...seen a few, and they all plug in). It's common to wire them directly in the UK, and I used to do general construction back then.

So, I opened up rear of stove, and saw this.....



Using a Circuit alert tester, I determined that the red and black were live, while the white (neutral I believe) carried nothing, and of course then there was the earth.

So I shot out and purchased a receptacle to connect up with.....



So, on this, it has Green (earth) at the top, white at the bottom, and X and Y on left and right.

So, do the black and red go in X and Y? I would assume so, as it needs 240V to run a stove...but just want to throw it out there for checking.

Thanks to anyone who knows....
