FAQs

What is a Double Pole (DP) switch?

A Double Pole switch disconnects both the live and neutral wires of a circuit simultaneously, providing a more complete isolation than a single pole switch.

Can I install this myself?

No, due to the high amperage (45A) and safety implications, installation must be carried out by a qualified and certified electrician.

What appliances can I use this with?

This unit is suitable for domestic electric cookers and ovens that require up to a 45 Amp supply.

How do I know if the cooker is receiving power?

The integrated neon indicator light on the switch will illuminate when the circuit is powered and the switch is engaged.

What maintenance does this product require?

Minimal maintenance is required. Periodically dust the unit and ensure the switch operates smoothly. Always turn off power before cleaning.

What safety standards does this product meet?

This PRO ELEC cooker control switch and socket complies with BS EN 60669-1.

Troubleshooting

Neon indicator light is not on.

Ensure the main power to the circuit is on and the cooker switch is in the 'ON' position. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician to check the wiring and bulb integrity.

Switch feels stiff or difficult to operate.

Do not force the switch. There may be an obstruction or internal issue. Contact a qualified electrician for inspection and repair.

Unit is excessively hot during normal operation.

This is a serious safety concern. Immediately turn off the power at the breaker and contact a qualified electrician. The unit may be overloaded or faulty.
