I have an old cooker hood, which plugs into a 13A socket behind the removable stainless steel chimney. The socket is supplied by a switched FCU. I want to replace the cooker hood but the new one says it must be permanently wired-in (because it is a fixed appliance, I believe).
Is there any problem with simply fitting a 13A plug to the new hood and using it with the existing 13A socket (with a suitable fuse in the FCU of course)? Are there any technical or legal (Part P) reasons I shouldn't do this? Presumably just plugging something in won't involve Part P. Or will it?..).
Thanks, Steve
