Hi
I was hoping i could get some advice. I've been asked to move a kitchen from upstairs to downstairs as the property was a shop but the new owner wants to turn it into a standard house. Now the job seemed straightforward, i would do the plumbing and carpentry and get an electrician in to connect up the electric oven and cooker extracter fan/hood.
However the homeowner advised i did not need an electrician as the electric oven, and extractor hood are not directly connected to the mains circuit. Instead the previous installer has fitted standard wires and a 3 pin plug to both these appliances. Now as i'm not a qualified electrician i dont know what to make of this setup, but i assume this is not how these appliances should be installed?
I am reluctant to move these appliances for the guy as i have a feeling these connections may be against building regulations. I have never seen the cooker hood or electric oven connected using a 3 pin plug! Can someone please advise if this is safe?
