A special socket is installed inside the apartment, and stranded electrical wires are drawn from it. The thickness of the cable is selected depending on the voltage of the network, the number of phases brought into the apartment is also taken into account, as well as the power consumption of the device.

Professional electricians are well acquainted with these parameters and will easily select the necessary batteries for the electric stove. If you have skills in working with electricity, you can study the technical documentation for the device and select the appropriate wires and sockets for connection. The diagram of technical parameters is often indicated on the body of the device. The unit will probably need a power outlet, which is not always available in the kitchen. Any powerful equipment that consumes more than 3 kW of energy is connected through it. Single-phase sockets are designed for currents up to 40A.

The socket must be installed on a special pad. A non-flammable flat surface is prepared for installation. The device should not be placed close to heated sources. There should be no iron pipes, doorways and windows nearby.

The terminals for the wires on the plate itself are hidden under a small protective cover, under which the entire system is fixed. This is to avoid accidentally pulling out the wires when moving the stove. The terminal block usually has a circuit diagram to enable the device to be turned on correctly. The circuits differ depending on the selected device, at this stage it is important not to confuse anything. If you do not have the skills to work with electricity, it is better to call a professional who will give a guarantee for the connection.

Gas may not flow due to a closed common tap: it must be opened, another cause of the malfunction is the kink of the gas hose.
