    ok, so I can't keep the stove isolator, just bypass the one in the wall, and replace the one in the DB with a normal MCB?

    You are allowed one socket outlet on a stove circuit, but fine print applies. (Has fuse protection and is on earth leakage from memory).

    Otherwise I should think you're going to have to make the circuit one or the other - a cooking appliance circuit or a socket outlet circuit.

    I cant see the isolator being an issue if its kept in circuit, its just a glorified switch, but you will need to make sure that circuit has ELP and a suitable circuit breaker.
