This Crabtree 20A Double Pole (DP) Grid Switch, specifically marked "oven", is designed for electricians and DIY enthusiasts needing a robust control for high-power kitchen appliances. Its key benefit is providing a safe and reliable double-pole isolation for ovens, ensuring both live and neutral conductors are disconnected. A potential caveat is that it requires a separate grid plate and rocker to function, making it a component rather than a standalone unit.

A Double Pole switch disconnects both the live and neutral conductors of a circuit simultaneously, providing a more complete isolation than a single pole switch.
No, this is a switch module only. You will need to purchase a compatible grid plate and rocker separately to complete the switch assembly.
While it can technically switch other 20A circuits requiring double-pole isolation, its "oven" marking suggests it is specifically designed and intended for oven circuits for clarity and safety.
This switch is rated for 20 Amps (20A).
Installation of mains electrical components should only be performed by a qualified and registered electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
Most electric ovens, particularly those with higher power ratings, require double-pole isolation for safety. Consult your oven's manual or a qualified electrician if you are unsure.
Verify that the power supply is on and that the circuit breaker for the oven is engaged. Ensure the double-pole switch has been correctly wired to both the live and neutral supply. Check that the switch is securely clipped into the grid plate.
Ensure the switch is correctly seated in the grid plate and that the rocker is not obstructed. Check for any debris that might be hindering movement. If the issue persists, the switch may need replacement.
Immediately switch off the power at the consumer unit. This indicates a serious fault, likely due to incorrect wiring, a faulty switch, or an overloaded circuit. Contact a qualified electrician for inspection and repair.
Setup: This switch is a component designed for use within a Crabtree grid system. To install, you will first need a compatible grid plate and a suitable rocker switch. The switch module simply clips into the grid plate mechanism. Wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician, connecting the line and neutral in and out terminals according to standard double-pole switching practices. Ensure the power supply is isolated before commencing any wiring.
Compatibility: This switch is compatible with Crabtree's extensive range of grid plates and modular components. It is intended for use in circuits up to 20A and specifically for appliances requiring double-pole isolation, such as electric ovens.
Care: As a static electrical component, the switch requires minimal care. Keep the surrounding area clean. If cleaning is necessary, ensure the power supply to the circuit is switched off at the consumer unit. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the visible surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic housing.
