Fitting Electric Oven - How to Connect New World NW601F Built In Electric Oven

The built in electric oven in the house had broken so I bought a new one from the fantastic AO.com. Ordered on a Sunday and the new oven was delivered the next day - an amazingly good service!

The New World Newworld NW601F Built In Electric Single Oven was shown as requiring professional installation by an electrician but on delivery it appeared that the connection to the power supply was identical to the existing oven so could be connected very easily.

How to Access the Terminals on New World NW601F Built In Electric Oven?

The rear of the oven has a black plastic cover that conceals the electrical terminals, you may need to use a small screwdriver to unclip the tabs that clip into place preventing the cover opening accidentally. Once the cover is open the terminals are visible so you can connect the N, L and Earth cables to the oven with the blue, brown and green cables. Once done, refit the oven in the kitchen and screw the sides to the units.

August 2014 Poor Solar Generation

August 2014 was a very poor month for electricity generated from our solar panels with the lowest August generation since we had the panels and worse than June or July too.

During the month our solar panels produced 319kWh of electricity compared to 405kWh in August 2013.

Hopefully August solar panel output will be surpassed in September with sunny weather forecast for at least the first week or two.
