Electric cooker switches

Arran Cameron
I hope that this doesn't come across as a daft question...


Why do most electric cooker switches have an in-built socket? Do analogous cooker switches exist in other countries that use different types of mains sockets?


I used to think that the socket was for plugging in a gas cooker electric ignition, but there is no real reason for having a separate circuit from the ring main for this.

    Would love to see a BS standard quick connector plug developed to be supplied with new cookers ...




    Time was you had to get an engineer in to connect a new gas cooker, but then they introduced a bayonet fitting. If gas, why not leccy?


    Of course, there is no reason why a Commando socket should not be used.
