I have a standard 60cm built in electric oven and hob with the cooker isolating switch sited just outside the hot zone. I’m replacing it with a 90cm range cooker which means I have to move the cooker isolating switch around 40cm to the left.
If I cut a new channel horizontal to the existing cooker switch, I’m left with two issues. Is it prohibited to have cables buried in the wall around 20 cm above the induction hob (16mm chase with conduit on top), and can I join to the existing cable at the site of the original cooker switch with Wago, Solder, or other allowed means and bury the joined cable in plaster?
I hope the attached diagram helps my poor description.
