Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this product require a qualified electrician for installation?

Yes. Due to the 45A capacity, this is part of the kitchen circuit and must be installed in accordance with local building and electrical regulations.

Can I use this for a double oven?

Yes, provided the total current draw of your oven does not exceed the 45A limit of the switch.

Is the finish fingerprint resistant?

While the brushed steel is durable, it is a metallic surface and may show fingerprints with frequent use; it can be easily wiped clean with a soft cloth.

What is the benefit of the red rocker?

The red color provides high contrast against the steel plate, making it easy to identify at a glance if the cooker is switched on or off.

What does the lifetime guarantee cover?

The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and functional issues under normal household usage conditions.

Troubleshooting

The 13A socket is not providing power

Check the main circuit breaker at your consumer unit to ensure the circuit is live. If other outlets work, verify that the internal wiring of the faceplate is correctly terminated.

The cooker switch feels loose or stiff

Ensure the faceplate screws are tightened evenly against the back box. Do not overtighten, as this can warp the bevel-edge frame.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This device is designed for standard UK mounting boxes. Because the unit handles a 45A current, it is mandatory that it is installed by a qualified electrician to ensure proper wiring gauge and secure connections.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a compatible deep-back box to accommodate the wiring terminals for both the 45A switch and the 13A socket.
  • Ensure your circuit supply is rated for the 45A load.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean the brushed steel surface using a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can scratch or degrade the metallic finish.
  • If the surface becomes dull, a light application of stainless steel polish may be used sparingly.
