Wired my last oven in myself.
Tested it out on floor to see if worked which it did so put it in housing unit but it was flickering.
Decided it must be a loose wire so took it out of unit and tightened screw BOOM I was right about the loose wire but never thought about turning power off to sort it won't make that mistake again was shaking like a shitting dog for ages afterwards!

Is it an oven with separate hob? If so it’s the hob that needs to be hard wired. Ovens (new ones) can be socket plugged. All new ovens should come wired!

2.3kw will be ok on a plug.

built-in products (including built-in ovens and drop-ins) have conduit with the electrical leads attached to the range. Similarly, do ovens need to be hardwired? It depends on the rating of the oven. If its over 3kw it must be hard wired into an appropriate circuit
Some 1.5mm flex and a plug top with a 13a fuse in will be fine.

Last time I electrocuted myself I curled up in the corner of the room and had a little rest for 10minutes

in this instance hardwired simply means using matchsticks to anchor the wires directly into the plug sockets

Remove the socket front and tape the wires together if you don’t have a plug mate.
Away mate. Seriously

Not many on here mind.
A lot of pen-pushers and lads doing lasses work.
Nah - the powders were for downhand - and the iron in the flux gave more deposition.
8's were the old SWG size for 4mm.
Or "garden gates" as they were known as in the yards.
