Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I put these in about 10 years ago. Not aware of any regs around distance but you don't want trailing leads over the stove etc Quote
Andy (Sycho) Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 As stated 300mm from the edge & 150mm above the worktop. Quote

dombanks Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 thanks, I think ill just be outside the 100mm measurement in that article but its close. there is little chance of any trailing wires as the worktop is only 20cm anyway before the wall. the plug was obviously moved sideways at some point from above the previous cooker.
