It usually plugs straight into the power point. There should be one for the Range Hood and/or extractor fan unit. If there is only a single-socket point, consider replacing it by a double-socket point even if you are not going to put anything else there. Ensure you have plenty of ventilation space around the microwave oven, especially if it is going to be enclosed, and that there is a board or stop to prevent the oven sliding when you open and close the door. On the other hand, if it draws more than 10 amps you must get it hard-wired.
