Installing a new electric oven on other side of kitchen. Can I still wire to existing 13a spur?

I bought the oven today. The manual said just to wire it to a 13a plug, so I just wired it directly the existing 13a fused spur (dedicated circuit) and it's working fine. When I eventually move the oven to the other side of the kitchen, I plan to wire in to the same spur, but use a long piece of flex, clipped around and under the existing cabinets to reach the other side of the kitchen.

Don't "The Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994" state that such an appliance must be supplied fitted with a plug?

Removing it would doubtless void any warranty though...

Perhaps it was supplied fitted with a plug. Perhaps it was supplied with no cable or plug at all.
