I am in the process of upgrading the kitchen.
The manufacturer states that "the cooker hood is fitted with a 2 core mains cable and must be permanently connected to the electricity supply via a double pole switch. A switched FCU fitted with a 3 amp fuse is a recommended mains supply connection".
The builder had the original cooker hood connected via an unfused fan switch through a 13amp unswitched socket with a 3amp fused plug.
I would like to simply connect the new cooker hood into the same system without having to have new sockets/switches. I would also like to connect the low wattage under cupboard lights into the existing switch and socket so that the cooker hood light and the under cupboard lights all activate at the same time. Is this ok?
