Default Connecting new induction hob.

But don;t accidentally leave a screwdriver on the hob when you are testing
it....

I am installing a new 4 ring Bosch induction hob to replace a Neff ceramic
hob where one of the rings had failed. I was very pleased to find that it
fits in the same size hole in the work top. (I had checked to ensure that
there would be no large gap.)

I did not look at the electrical specification very closely before I made
the purchase, but the manual says that the rings are 2500, 2500, 1800 and
3700 watts when boost function is used, so I was surprised when I found at
label saying that the maximum current is 20 amps. Presumably the
electronics makes sure that the rings are used in turn to conform to this
limit.

The previous hob was connect by a grey flat twin and earth that goes to
the cooker switch. The new hob has its own round cable. Ideally, I would
like to connect the cables together using a junction box which I could
mount on the wall and which has a support for the cooker cable. Can anyone
suggest a suitable product?

(Disconnecting the grey cable from the cooker switch might require taking
more of the kitchen apart than I would like as the cable runs behind some
tiles.)

Needless to say two of the pans that we have that I hoped might work,
actually don't work!
