I've just bought a new built-in electric cooker to replace our existing one. It is an Indesit model that can be plugged into a standard socket.
Removing the old cooker is no problem - remove the plug and pull out the cable.
The problem is the cable has to run through a couple of drill holes to get to the nearest power socket and the new cooker has a moulded plug on it.
The cooker instructions right at the start under the electrical connection section says:
1. Disposal of the plug
Ensure before disposing of the plug you make the pins unusable so it cannot accidently be inserted
2. Connecting to an alternative plug
[standard instructions for fitting a plug follow]
This sort of implies to me that they are telling you upfront to cut off the old plug and install your own.
Are there any kind of warranty issues to doing this?
