Installing a Belling double-oven

itm2

We're expecting delivery of a Belling BI702FPCT built-under double oven tomorrow, and I want to buy the necessaries for installation. Can anyone advise:
- what type of electrical cable will be required (it's rated at 4kW, and will be connected to a 32A circuit) - the supplied cable is unlikely to be long enough, as the existing supply is 3-4 metres from where we intend to locate it.
- is Screwfix as good a place as any to buy the cable?
- are these ovens typically supplied with legs to raise the oven the necessary distance from the floor?
- if not, where would be a good place to buy legs for it?

Built-in ovens usually slide into an oven cabinet. Built-under usually attach to vertical rails that fit to the units each side. You'll need to check what you're getting and whether rails are included.

You'll probably need 6mm2 cable, green/yellow sleeving for the earth wires, a suitable junction box with cable clamps to extend the cable.

There's usually supposed to be a "big red cooker switch" within 2 metres of the oven but opinions vary whether that's actually required by regulations now or merely good practice.

Ah OK it looks like I'll need to improvise. My existing (single) oven and units are only 65cm tall, and sit on legs, about 20cm off the floor. The the existing oven sits on a "shelf" which is suspended across the base of the adjoining units on each side. To accommodate the new oven, which is 7cm taller than the existing oven, the "shelf" will need to be removed, the existing plinth cut away, and a new means of supporting the oven installed (it will need to sit about 13cm off the floor). I was thinking that legs would be the easiest solution?

This gives you an idea of how it's supposed to work!

Thanks. Those brackets wouldn't work for me, as the kitchen units on either side of the oven cavity are not as tall as the new oven, and are suspended on legs about 20cm off the floor. If I position the new oven into the old cavity the base will need to sit about 7cm below the base of the existing units (and about 13cm off the floor), so there would be nothing to screw the brackets into on the sides.
