I have purchased a new stainless steel cooker hood. Unlike my existing canopy type which plugs into normal 13 amp outlet (within the cooker socket), this hood has only a two core cable and bears the double insulated sign.The manual says to "connect the cord to a socket or ominpolar switch which must have a minimum contact opening of 3mm".
Will it be enough to connect a 13 amp plug using only the L & N connections ( as obviously there is no earth cable) with a 3 amp fuse and use the original socket, or will I have to install a new omnipolar (what's that?) fcu? If so, can I run a cable from the original socket to the FCU?
