Cooker isolators and the like

In my formative years electrical, I was brung up that an isolator for a cooker etc must be nearby, say within 2m and obvious as for useage (or clearly marked) as a readily available "rapid use switch" in case of say chip pan fires etc. Rather than having to locate them in cupboards or go to the CU etc to switch off and possibly plunge the whole house into darkness.



Modern folk and their kitchens, it seems some folk have an aversion to them.


Call me old fashioned but my order of preference is 1/ Safety, 2/ Functionalability and 3/ Asthetics.


Any views on this Folks?

  • Thank you David - my BIG mistake about the extinguisher!  Our firepoint has a fire blanket also, for dealing with pan fires etc.  Likewise, in the garage for flammable liquids. Note to self - engage brain before using keyboard!
