The 45A switch controls the cooker circuit, isolating both live and neutral when switched off, while the 13A socket provides a separate outlet for ancillary kitchen appliances at the same location. Both switches carry neon indicators that glow when the circuit is live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for kitchen installation next to or near the cooker, this unit provides a local isolation point for the cooker circuit as required by UK wiring regulations (BS 7671), allowing the appliance to be switched off for cleaning, maintenance or emergency isolation without accessing the consumer unit. The separate 13A socket is useful for powering extraction hoods, small appliances or charging devices within reach of the cooker area. The 45A rating supports electric cookers and ranges drawing up to 10,350W on a 230V supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished chrome finish provides a reflective metallic surface that pairs with stainless steel appliances and chrome kitchen fixtures. The grey insert behind the faceplate provides contrast around each switch and socket aperture. The unit requires a 47mm minimum back box depth and fits a standard double-gang aperture. Premium-grade steel construction carries a 25-year warranty from Knightsbridge.\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\u003e85.75 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
