Hello dear people,

I have been reading along here for quite some time, but have now decided to ask a question. This is directed at those of you who have bought an Ikea kitchen in Hamburg and booked the assembly service. I have heard contradictory statements regarding the services.

On the internet and in the little brochures, it says that all connection work except for gas is included. On site, we were told that IKEA does not do the assembly themselves (not surprising), but a subcontractor does it, who does NOT do any electrical connections. It is about an OV9 and a HIN4T as well as a DW60 or its successor thing.

Question for you: Who has already used the assembly service and can say whether the electrical connection was included or not? Please also write which IKEA you bought the kitchen from.

Many thanks!

Best regards Christian

Normally, the devices are connected. A prerequisite is a cooker connection socket for the hob. If this is not available, the installer is not allowed to connect it, as only an electrician or someone with this qualification may do so.
If this socket is not available, the client (that is, you) must have it installed at their own expense by an electrician (or someone with the appropriate qualification) BEFORE the installation of the kitchen and electrical appliances.

Background:

If a cooker connection socket is present, it is protected by the fuse box. Because the hob requires high voltage, that is 380 volts instead of 230 volts.
If this is not there, a tested protection is not present and can lead to problems.

It is somewhat confusing that it says cooker connection socket there. The background to this is:

In the past, the hob was controlled via the oven, so-called combination devices. Due to the change that the control panel is now on the hob, the hob and oven can now be connected separately. The oven requires 230 volts, whereas the hob requires high voltage. However, the term "cooker connection socket" has remained. It will probably be changed at some point.

This is how it is in Bavaria.

How is it in other federal states?

Hmm, today the information at IKEA was different again: electrical connections will be made as long as everything necessary is available (which would agree with your statement). I am curious to see what awaits me :)

Best regards Christian
