Bosch Oven Hbn13m250b Manual
We've just moved in to a new (9 y/o) home that has a Bosch oven - HBN131205A. It's a great oven - heats up very fast and it's easy enough to master the controls - so we're very happy with the operation of the unit. The one big issue we have is that the wire oven racks have part of the frame raised across the front - so you can't slide a tray of say biscuits straight out - it needs to be lifted ab out 0.5cm over the frame and then slid out. It doesn't sound a big deal but if you're doing a lot of baking it's a real pain. I've seen new models in-store and some have a flat wire rack - but it's apparently no an option on our model - very disappointing. It's a 5 star oven but only 3 if you take the the wire rack into consideration.

Hi allI am doing up my kitchen and have run out of money, so bought a second-hand built-in Bosch double oven. Model number is HBN13M250B - it's a double oven.The oven has come with a length of twin and earth cable fitted (with a plug on the end, which is a bit worrying!). I could just remove the plug and connect the cooker to the cooker connection point with the twin and earth, but I've actually got a metre of heat-resistant flex in the cupboard that I'd rather use. My problem is, I cannot for the life of me work out how to disconnect the cable from the back of the oven! Should be simple, but after 30 minutes of playing with it I just cannot work it out.
I will try to get a picture posted to show how it connects, but the cable feeds in to a white plastic connection plug thing, and it looks like this plug would pull out but I cannot work out how.I've scoured the internet for installation instructions but found nothing. This is a pretty specific question, but if anyone has installed a bosch double oven and has had to change the cable then hopefully they can help me!(BTW, I have had an electrician in to install a dedicated circuit for it, and I've checked with him and he is happy for me to connect it up myself). There's a user manual for it here:The stuff in the back still doesn't tell you what the cable gauge is though.Look at the plate on the back of the oven, or if it's hard to move, open the doors on it and look at the side of the unit normally covered by a closed door for a lebel and let us know the rating of it. The spare parts sites simply list one of the elements in it as 2300W but they'll be another and maybe a grill too. Then take a pic if possible of the whole of the back of the oven and post it.A double oven like this one is highly unlikely to belong on a plug.Looks a nice oven. Better to buy decent 2nd hand, than cheap new. Click to expand.There were thre variants of this oven (/01, /03 and /10) which causes a little confusion, but if you look at the Bosch Spares site, you'll find, for all three, Main/Fan Oven elements at 2300W and 2100W and Grill/Oven elements at 2200W.I therefore presume that there are just two elements, and that the whole oven is somewhere in the 4300W - 4500W range.
That's approaching 20A and, although that amounts to only 13A if one applies the ususal 'cooking appliance diversity', as you say, I don't think anyone would really put (or be advised to put) such an oven on a 13A plug.Kind Regards, John. All,Many thanks for the responses, I really appreciate it. I've been away from home for a few days but just checked - it's 4.4mw.It is going on a brand new circuit with a 30a fuse.I should have been clearer in my original post - it was never my intention to use a plug on this thing, it would be entirely unsuitable.
The plug was put on by the previous owner - a quick check through my previous emails shows that he did this just so I could see it working when I picked it up. Which is a relief! See the attached pic of the plug and you will see what I mean! The 'problem' I'm trying to fix is that the cooker is fitted with twin-and-earth cable, and not heat-resistant flex.
I thought it was better to fit heat-resistant flex (although I've only got one metre of the stuff which was taken off a freestanding electric cooker - power rating unknown). What I'm trying to work out is how to disconnect the existing cable and put in the flex. I attach a picture of how the existing cable is connected. You can see a plastic plug that screws out of the white plastic contraption, but this doesn't seem to help.
If that manual is the right one, and it looked like it was the right one, it says 'Connection have to be made using a mains connection cable not lighter than H05RR-F 300 V / 500 V Rubber Flexible Cable or H05VV-F 300V / 500V PVC Flexible Cable.' H05RR-F is this stuffAnd what it means by 'not lighter than' I don't know as that spec doesn't determine a CSA. See EFLI's post for cable CSA.BS6004 T&E is specced to 70degC looking at some of the data here. Although you'd derate it those temps.When you fit it make sure the cable isn't trapped or deliberately contacts the oven's enclosure.
