wiring hood to cooker point

[itstheyoo]

Im just wondering if its safe to wire the hood to the cooker switch.seeing how its got 2 points to wire to in the switch,L1 and L2,then even if the cooker is switched off the lights and the hood should still function but is this safe?any help appreciated.

what does this cooker switch look like?

it is OK to do as you say, BUT you MUST fit an ACCESSIBLE 3A FCU in line to the hood.

YOU MUST USE THE SAME SIZE CABLE AS IS USED IN THE REST OF THE CIRCUIT, IN ADDITION TO FUSING DOWN.
