Hello everyone,
I am unfortunately a complete beginner when it comes to 230V connections and don’t want to damage my electrical circuit. Therefore, my question is: Can someone tell me where to connect which wires?
The oven or stove manual doesn’t provide much information, and since there are 5 wires, I would rather avoid calling an electrician.
Basically, it would be enough if someone could tell me where the live (phase), neutral, and earth (ground) wires should go.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
PS: The pictures of the connections (unfortunately too large to upload directly here)

Why is the wall connection a cable, and why is it stranded wire? For that, you need ferrules that match the conductor cross-section, or appropriate connectors (e.g., Wago 222).
If you have the correct circuit protection, nothing should go wrong. However, if you don’t even know the wiring configuration, I would at least get someone with experience involved. The connection cable must definitely be tested at the junction box. Accidents happen when two parties make mistakes together. Trust is good, but verification is better.

being a “complete novice” with 230V sounds risky.
It’s better to follow the advice and spend the 20 euros.
Damaging the electrical circuit would be the lesser evil compared to what could happen.
