New Cooker Hood

I`ve removed my old cooker hood which was connected to the supply by a 3 pin plug just above the kitchen units.
The new cooker hood comes "hard wired".
What are my options for fitting it to the supply?

    Does the fused spur replace the 3 pin socket cover to pick up the main supply.
    And also connect up the wires from the cooker hood into the spur?

    Or just put a plug on the cable.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Hard wired as in connection terminals inside the unit or comes with flex with no plug on ?

    Yes, they come with a knockout on the bottom for the wire to come out of.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Yes.

    So all the wires go into the fused spur.

    i.e. three from the main supply and three from the cooker hood/extractor.
