Yes, as this is a double pole switch, it is designed to switch both the live and neutral connections for safety.
Yes, provided the total current draw of the hob does not exceed the 45A rating of the switch.
The finish is designed for standard domestic kitchen use. It is robust but should be cleaned gently to avoid scratching.
Due to the high electrical load and safety implications, installation should always be carried out by a qualified, registered electrician.
The neon indicator uses a negligible amount of electricity to signify that the circuit is live.
Check if the circuit breaker for the cooker is tripped in your consumer unit. If the cooker has power but the light is off, the bulb may have failed and the unit should be inspected by an electrician.
Ensure the appliance plug is fully inserted. If the issue persists, check the socket fuse and verify that the main cooker switch is in the 'ON' position.
This unit is intended for mounting onto a standard electrical back box. Because this device handles high-amperage electrical loads, installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local building and safety regulations. To maintain the unit, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the black finish or the neon indicator lens. Ensure the unit is isolated from the main power supply before performing any cleaning or maintenance checks.
