Reading through the regs again, I cannot find anything regarding cooking appliances rated at less than 16A. Please correct me if I have overlooked something.

How legal is it to have an undercounter plug supplying an appliance with the appliance( washing machine) pushed under the counter conceiling the plug? Same with a fridge in a cupboard with the plug directly behind it. Same with an extractor above the stove being plugged into a plug in the attic with it's lead running through the chimney into the attic.

So many questions.

When we do new installations or kitchen revamps ... we fit isolators above the counter ... the problem with doing this ... the appliance warranty becomes an issue as soon as you cut the plug top off ... so you have a no win situation
