Induction hob_Instalation

[Ralphie27]

Hi

I want to install a new induction hob to replace a gas one.

The house is new and the gas hob is connected to a unswitched FCU of 13A (under the bench for the lighter). On the other hand, the FCU is connect to a 3 gang control Switch (Hob, hob fan and cooker).

The Induction hob is a plug and play for a 13A socket: https://www.zanussi.co.uk/kitchen/cooking/hobs/induction-hob/zei6840fba/

Can I switch the FCU by a normal 13A socket?

Is better, cut the wire of the hob and connect to the FCU? Can the warranty by void if I cut the wire?


Thanks in advance

Electrically it makes no difference - either change the FCU to a socket and plug in, or cut the plug off and wire into the FCU.

Warranty will not be affected by either option.
