I have a Rubine MCH-LAZIO hood which comes with a 3 pin plug. However when my contractor pull the wire for me to install the hood..there is only 2 wires - red and black. Is that normal? Then where am I suppose to connect the green (earth) wire if I don't want to use the3 pin plug?

Earth is important, ask your contractor to correct it. And make sure he actually add back the earth not putting a dummy earth wire.

Yea, that's what my dad told me too. But the contractor told me for hood normally all no earth wire 

I will request him to add the earth wire

That make me wonder, is he tapping from another power socket or direct from Circuit box?

From another power socket right next to it. Any problems with that?

Yes, If you are sharing, you risk burning the internal wires. Electric hob can go up to 4000 watt and more depend on model, and normal 2.5mm wires won't be able handle that load.  If you loop you need to know what is being shared, some house share same wires for few socket.

You need to know your Hob max current requirement, and its recommendation wires size.

Assuming you have hood too, and from your information, I assume he also loop the same wires for hoob.

Good luck.

I think you may have misunderstood. I'm talking about my hood only, I'm using gas hob. My hood is the one without the earth wire, and the wire is loop from another power socket.

Opps, sorry. Hood not so much concern on power drawn.

But still need earth wire right? Since it is made of stainless steel

I just checked my new hood. Came with a two prong Euro plug....no Earth also.

My 6000W (total) Induction hob dont even come with any instructions on using what kind of plugs or wiring requirement. Best to connect straight to wire or go thru a plug better? Plug and socket at least can turn off the mains

Normal burner heads are made of alloy while Fotile, ONLY GCG series burners are made of cast iron which is very HEAVY DUTY As the burner head is made of cast iron, hence it is black in color and u do not have to worry it turning black. Silver burner heads are made of alloy will eventually have black spots (burned stain) and they are very hard to clean.

Do not burn your normal burner head as per my photo, the silver part will turn black and the burner might deform as photo below

Here is a photo of my Fotile GCG90301 before and after cleaning (BURNING) and coating with a thin layer of olive oil. Dont really have to use olive oil if u cook frequent as the oil will wear off fast. The olive oil is to make the burner look shining black like brand new.

I see, what is the safe margin clearance ? 20mm from  each side? To ensure it support well enough? 

Have to get those with 900 x 500 gas hob?

From another power socket right next to it. Any problems with that?

Just browing thru Ikea and notice the whirlpool packages - seems like good pricing and 1000m3/hr extraction rate.

Anyone know the pro and con of this vs Futile or rubine models?

Also, is an electric oven really needed? or one can get alternative like some kind of microwave oven that can also baked and etc?

Sorry, a bit noob in this.

thanks.
