Freestanding oven does it need a cooker point?
I bought a replacement oven recently after mine gave in. My last one was built into a special cooker point which has been disconnected and the new one came with just a regular plug. Should this be plugged into a separate socket like my old one of can i just use a regular 3 pin plug socket? I'm just wondering if there's any regulations i should be worried about. Thanks in advance.

earthing a grid plate on a modular light switch
I am currently replacing a 2 gang light switch in my hall with a 3 gang modular switch. i.e. there are 3 separate switch modules which are mounted on a metal grid plate, which is then fixed to the back box and then a face plate fitted over the front. The instructions are minimal (no wiring diagrams are given) but they say the metal grid plate which the switch modules are mounted on must be earthed using the earth terminal on it. Is the grid plate earthed by connecting a yellow/green sheathed wire from the grid plate terminal to the earth terminal on the back box? This gives 4 earth connections to the back box, 1 from the grid + 3 from the incoming switch cables?
