A Good Reason to have a Local Hob Isolator.

Zoomup

This is not the link that I was looking for but it will do to illustrate the need for local hob electrical isolation. O.K. you may claim that the child lock can be used, but that is a faff and is often not used.

  • But people don't generally isolate their cooking appliances at the wall every time they leave the house (it messes up the clock settings if nothing else) - so a local isolator wouldn't have defeated the dog's antics even it it was fitted.

    I do not think that I could be happy with a new ceramic hob. I prefer big clunky obvious simple controls. How did we manage years ago with no hob timers? But we did.

    My mother and then my wife cooked some wonderful meals on an old solid, reliable cooker like this one. And with no hob timer www.ebay.co.uk/.../354117090275

    Did they use the same cooker? How odd!

    If you were posh, like us, the oven had a timer though.

    Why odd Chris?

    One might think that each would have her own cooker, but perhaps your wife inherited the cooker from your mother? None of our business really!
