Seeing how I wired in my own cooker hood, (and fitted my kitchen units too) I can give some bits of advice.

The cable I used for the cooker hood was a Twin core cable that I bought from B & Q, (or stermat ) it only has 2 wires, the brown (live) and blue (neutral).
There was no earth connection on the cooker hood, so adding one was'nt necessary.

Unless your electrically wise though I would be careful in adding any electrical wires into your home as you risk causing fires if you get it wrong.

Also any direct wiring in your home, either from heaters or cookers must be fitted by a corgi registered electrician or you could risk prosecution if someone else got hurt because of your negligence.

If your aware of all that, and sure you can wire a plug and a few connections then go for it. [thumbup]

otherwise pay a pro.
