Do i have to move the control unit?!

[joeluth]

hello all

I am replacing my kitchen,

i just bought a nice brand new single electric oven.

I have a control unit with an a socket built into the wall.

ideally i would like my new oven to live up against a different wall.

the oven only has about 1m of cable with it, is it ok to extend this or do i have to move the control socket?

any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks!
