The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral conductors, ensuring the appliance cannot be energised when the switch is in the off position. A red neon indicator shows when the circuit is live, providing a visual safety cue during maintenance or cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for kitchen installation where a dedicated cooker circuit needs a local isolation point, the switch sits in a standard 1-gang 87.5mm wall box and requires 47mm minimum back box depth. The screwless polished chrome faceplate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame, leaving no visible screws or fixings on the wall once installed. The unit handles single appliances or multiple appliances on the same circuit provided the combined load does not exceed 45A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished chrome finish provides a reflective metallic surface that pairs well with stainless steel appliances and contemporary kitchen hardware. The premium-grade steel construction and IP20 rating suit standard indoor kitchen environments. The switch carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty and meets Class I earthing requirements for safe installation on UK mains circuits.\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\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

Most domestic electric cookers and ranges fall within this rating. Induction hobs and dual-fuel ranges typically draw 30-40A at peak load, making this switch suitable for most residential kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does double-pole switching provide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble-pole (DP) switching isolates both the live and neutral conductors when the switch is turned off, providing complete circuit isolation. This is a safety requirement for high-current appliances like electric cookers, preventing any current flow during maintenance or cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the neon indicator show?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red neon indicator lights up when the circuit is live and the switch is in the on position. This provides a visual confirmation that power is flowing to the appliance, useful during troubleshooting or when confirming the circuit has been isolated before maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the screwless plate removable for redecorating?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The polished chrome cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box.
