My electrical contractor (licensed in California) did this, not me. I wanted an outlet in the wall.

Thanks for this. It helps a lot.

I understand it is acceptable for wire to extend from wall and be terminated in the wiring enclosure provided in the hood. There should be a ground screw, pigtail and cover in the hood. Do you have the installation instructions provided with the unit?

It would have been if the hood was designed to e installed that way. It apparently isn't. Cutting the plug off the cord and mating it to naked cable from the wall isn't proper.

What are you doing to stop the wall from catching fire from the stove top being that close?

So he did this and then is not installing the hood!??? UGH...

Please look into the directions provided with the hood. He probably just voided the warranty on it. You can have someone else put a plug back on the hood and then follow the directions.

Rule of thumb when designing a kitchen, always allow a minimum distance of 15" between your stove/cooktop and a return wall for elbow room.

How's this kit for a new plug for someone to attach to the range hood? I don't want to buy another hood.

In your picture #2, where does the black wire go? Does it go through a hole in a piece of sheet metal? If so, then your new cable goes through that same hole. You're also going to have to have a receptacle mounted in the wall where the power cable is sticking out and you're going to have to decide if you want your new cable to go up or down, because it has a right-angle plug.

If this is a retrofit stove install? Because I can see trouble down the road.

I agree with GN, is there not a better location for the stove? Yikes!!!

"How's this kit for a new plug for someone to attach to the range hood"

Why not ask the guy hire to fix the mess rather then hand this to someone and say fix it?

I would be asking the electrician to replace the hood fan.

You can add a new plug to the end of the cable, something like this (I don’t know if this specific item is fit for your application)

Then install an outlet in the wall.

What are you putting on the wall to the right and behind the stove?

It's not a big deal to hardwire the hood, however, a gas cooking appliance cannot be adjacent to a combustible wall. And no, installing tile does not make the wall noncombustible. The hood is the least of the problems; you've got to abate the fire hazard before anything else.

Say what? I've had gas stoves from antiques to 48" "professional" ones installed next to the drywall. The IRC, building, and fire codes are silent on this. The installation for various appliances may place clearance limits, on the side/rear, but many that have a raised rear (i.e. not drop ins) have 0 rear clearance requirements. Drop-ins typically have a 6" limit on the rear.

And none of this has squat to do with gas versus electric. The only thing different about gas appliances typically is venting and the requirement for CO detectors.

What do the directions for the hood say? Who is going to install it and what do they say?

I also agree that since you are remodeling, the stove against the wall issue really should have been addressed.
