Using D-Line 'Easy Sockets' from 13A cooker switch socket

[chrispwoolley]

This is kind of a few questions in one.

I recently got some D-Line 'Easy Sockets' (basically surface mounted plug and play 13A sockets) and was wondering if it's safe to run a couple of 2 gang , or one 3 gang off the 13A cooker switch socket, with a view to powering the washing machine, extractor hood and some LED accent lighting from them?
Chances are all 3 items will be in use at the same time.
(It says on the pack that up to five 2 gang Easy Sockets can be used in one new circuit, max. 2990W)

Which brings me to the extractor hood.
Is it OK to run the extractor hood flex (2 core 0.75mm flat flex) behind a mirror splashback and tiled upstand (behind the hob) and power it from a socket?
(I have replaced the original flex with a longer one of identical type and fitted a plug with a 3A fuse.)

Cheers,
Chris

Its effectively just an overpriced trailing socket extension lead...

So yes, you can use it like you'd use any other trailing socket extension lead.

Probably not ideal to run a washing machine off it, but in reality its unlikely to cause any issues.

Thanks,

Thought as much but wanted to double check.

Got them in B&Q on clearance, ranging from 49p to £1.99 for the different bits, so it was way easier and cheaper than new sockets or even an extension, lol.
