UK TO SPANISH PLUG

[doodle1978]

Hi, I've just bought a mini oven for a friend who lives in Spain as she has no oven in her flat. I'm now in aforementioned flat with the oven and absolutely no clue how to change the plug. I've read other posts on this forum and one mentions something about the earth wire going into the middle... I don't see anywhere for that to go. I think I have an ordinary Schuko plug here but I'm just guessing from what I've read on this forum... Please help...

Not all sockets will take a load like an oven, some are intended for lights or similar low wattage equipment. Trouble is there is no indication on them to tell which are which.

( at least that is what we found in the villa we rented )

Hmm, pictures may pose a problem. Will work on that and get back to you. As far as sockets are concerned we'll just have to hope that the spare socket in the kitchen is intended for kitchen appliances... fingers crossed but thanks for the heads up.
