Cooker HOOD mate. The fan bit that sits above the cooker with a filter, fans and a little light to help you see. Not the cooker itself.[thumbup]

Yes, the above still applies..

What type is the cable? Is it regular "oval" or "flat" stranded core flexible type, or is it a solid core oval type? If it's the latter then it definately needs to be hard wired. If it's of the former then you probably can just use a 13Amp plug.

You really shouldn't mess with electric cables unless you're 100% sure..

Whilst I'm not a fully qualified electrical engineer, I have come across many different types of mains cables installations through a variety of careers which took me onto a few building sites and have also worked in a 'Electrical Specialist' store.

Of course, if you wish to risk blowing your fuse box / burning a ring main out, well, that's up to you...
