Hi everyone.
The picture is the inside of my kitchen island, under the gas hob.
The gas hob needs power to spark, therefore, the connection pictures.
I plan to install a double socket in the cabinet that I removed to take this picture. Below is the socket.
Would really appreciate your help with a few questions, please:
- I don’t understand why I have 2 power cables going to the fused spur (it has a fuse slot and a switch on the other side). Both power cables (grey) are live. Is there a reason for that?
- Is there a specific type of fused spur I need to buy, one with more connection terminals, to extend power to the new double socket?
- Should I extend one live wire to the new socket or both? Below are the instructions for the double socket, which shows 1 wire only for supply. If I need to extend 1 wire only, how do I decide which one? Does it matter?
Many thanks all!
