plug in cooker hoods

[deedeetigger]

is it possible to get a cooker hood that you can plug in to a socket on a wall?
the wire would go into a top cupboard by side of cooker, therefor no flex showing?
our house is pretty wierd layout.
kind regards

All domestic cooker hoods have a rating lower than 3kw, therefore they all can be wired into a plug top, with a 3 amp fuse. However, its bad practise to have sockets inside cupboards. Appliances should have "easily accessible" isolation within 2 metres.

hi, thanks for your reply.
the plug is not in the cupboard, but has to go through a cupboard style side unit to get to the plug which is the other side...... wierd to explain unless you see it.

kind regards
