Stove isolator positioning.

[Derlyn]

6.16.3.1.2 a) Says switch-disconnector must be in same room c) preferably not above cooking appliance d)within 3m of the appliance if marked clearly, otherwise 0.5m distance
I prefer to put an isolator next to the stove, then you don't have to reach over the stove to switch it off.
I had also used 2 pole breakers for stoves in a classroom kitchen setup, the db was in the same classroom and there were no safe place to put the isolators on the flat island countertops
Hope this helps

On new installations it's easy to position the isolator to the side of the hob, however, on existing installations, it's sometimes not that simple to relocate isolators that are above the hob, especially when there's tiling involved.

I have installed a plug in the cupboard to the left of the stove and cut a hole in the panel so that the plug can be plugged in on the left side. This is great for new installations, where you can plan it from the beginning. The rest of the time, there is an isolator at the top and a plug below the counter for the hob and oven, preferably Crabtree 16 Amp double.
Here by us most houses have a 25Amp point of supply from the council and if you are lucky a 30Amp or 40Amp supply. Most houses have gas stoves or gas hobs with built-in ovens, both need a plug to work from. We even have a couple of gas heaters that work from a 16Amp plug! What is wrong with 2 Eveready batteries?
