Hi all

There have been many lengthy discussions regarding stoves on the forum before, but something has crept up and some guidance from my brothers will be appreciated as I'm not sure how to approach the following scenario.

Busy planning for new build.

The client is installing a Defy DHG 605 Gas stove in conjunction with a Defy DB 0489 Electric oven. They are separate units, but being installed one above the other as one unit.

The stove comes supplied with a power chord and 3 pin plugtop and manufacturer instructions that it should be plugged into a socket outlet and the connections must comply with SANS 10142.

The oven comes without a power chord and manufacturer instructions that it must be connected to a stove isolator and should not be on earth leakage.


Now according to SANS 10142, all socket outlets are to be on earth leakage, so that includes the socket outlet for the stove.
The oven is now not on earth leakage and is fed from the isolator.

So far, so good.

My problem now is that if you switch off the stove isolator, only the oven is isolated and not the stove.

How would one solve this problem other than fitting 2 isolators ( out of the question ) or
putting the oven circuit on earth leakage ( against manufacturer recommendations ) and feeding the socket outlet for the stove from the load side of the isolator ?

I do realize that a socket outlet does / can serve as an isolator, but one would assume that if you isolate the stove at the isolator, then both the stove and oven should be isolated.

Any suggestions ?
