Hello and thank you in advance.

I bought a new 2nd hand stove(in the picture) for my apartment but I am not sure how the wiring should be done.

I read that for newer apartment
– Yellow + Green striped: Ground
– Blue: Neutral
– Brown, Black, Grey: Live

Can you help me check if my info is correct?

And if not possible to be done, do you know how to ask an licensed electrician to help?

Thank you so much for your help 🥰

  1. Contact electrician, you are not allowed to do that wiring yourself.

    Just google: “Sähköasentaja <your town name>” and pick a company.

  2. Get a *licensed* professional to do the installation, or any damages like a fire will not be covered by your insurance. Do not listen to Internet strangers regarding stove installations. “Sähköasentaja” is the type of professional you are looking for.

  3. Ask electrician to come and do the wiring.
    You can Google local electrical companies, they have an email address or contact form you can use to contact them if you aren’t comfortable just calling to the company

    If you live in appertment house you can contact your property manager and ask do they have contact they are usin to do electrical work, they probably have multiple reliable contacts. In some cases, you can get this type of work from your maintenance company, but general advice is to contact your property manager.

    If you are renting contact your landlord / rental company

  4. …and tell the electrician to lose those Bizline “wagos”. Regards, an electrician.

  5. It’s one thing to do illegal wiring in your own house and risk burning it down, but doing it in an apartment building is considerably less cool – especially if you need ask a basic question like this and don’t have the means to check what’s in what wire. Just let someone else do it, if even just a friend who doesn’t need to ask what the live wires are.

  6. If you are renting your apartment. Please contact your landlord about what you are doing. This is a thing they are supposed to know and usually they pay for the new stove and electician.
