The 45A switch controls dedicated cooker circuits up to 10,350W, while the 13A socket provides a separate outlet for smaller kitchen appliances such as kettles, toasters or microwaves without needing an additional wall socket nearby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for installation within 2 metres of the cooker or hob it controls (as required by UK wiring regulations), the unit allows the cooker circuit to be isolated before cleaning, maintenance or appliance replacement without switching off power at the consumer unit. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines, providing safer isolation than single-pole designs. Each switch carries a neon indicator — the cooker switch neon shows when the circuit is live, and the socket switch neon confirms the 13A outlet is powered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushed chrome finish on premium-grade steel provides a mid-tone metallic surface that works across modern and traditional kitchen styles. The grey insert behind the faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and defines the edges of the switch rockers and socket aperture. The unit requires a minimum 47mm back box depth and carries a 25-year manufacturer's warranty, reflecting Knightsbridge's confidence in the construction and switching mechanism lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e147.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
