Old oven died so I bought a new one. When pulling the old oven from the wall I see it’s not a simple plug. It has 3 sets of wires which all twist into other wires which then run into the wall.

The new oven has just a standard Australian plug like any other appliance.

There is a socket accessible which is currently serving the microwave, so can I just use a double adaptor and plug in my new oven too?

The manual says “Be sure to use AC power sockets with specifications of AC220V-240V/16A separately”

The fuse box has 20A for each switch (10A for lights)

Thanks
