It must be ensured that the voltage and current indicated on the rating plate
agree with the voltage of the user to electricity supply.
If the appliance has been equipped with a mains lead with a moulded-on type plug,
the following regulations must be comply with:
The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 5
amp BS1362 fuse. Only ASTA approved or certified fuses should be used. If the
fuse cover/carrier is lost, a replacement cover/carrie must be obtained from an
electrical goods retailer. If the socket outlets are not suitable for the plug fitted to
the appliance, then the plug must be cut off and destroyed for safety reasons, and
an appropriate plug be fitted.
When wiring the plug ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each
terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug.

It is recommended that the socket for the plug is sited above the cooker hood
or above the overhead cabinet.
This has 2 advantages:
1) The socket is not visible.
2) The appliance can easily be unplugged when necessary.
If a fixed connection is required the cooker hood should be connected by an
electrical installer registered with a competent electricity company. An isolating
device is to be provided on the fixed wiring side. Switches with a contact opening
of more than 3mm apply as isolating devices.
These include-automatic cut-out switches, fuses and contactors (VDE 0730, s.
