Cooker Isolation switch and Legal Requirements?

I have just had a new kitchen installed with a dual fuel range cooker and the firm that have installed it have removed my old isolation switch for the old cooker and have not installed a new one. (My cooker was moved accross the room). Can anyone tell me if you are required by law to have an isolation switch?Cooker Isolation switch and Legal Requirements?
Yes you MUST have a means of isolation, and it should be within 2 meters of the cooker, if they moved it, did they not extend the existing cable. did you look inside the base unit cupboards, it may be located in there? The switch must have a high enough rating to switch the full load of the cooker. Make sure you get an electrical certificate for this work.Cooker Isolation switch and Legal Requirements?
Yes you are unless the supply is directly from the consumer unit and dedicated only for the cooker. If its dual fuel, it dosen't have to have the 45A contacts as per the old one. It needs to be able to cope with the maximum loading supplied to the cooker (I presume its the oven thats electric? - in which case a 13A isolator is usually adequate). The isolator must be visible and within 3 metres of the cooker itself.
They should have left you with a certificate to say the electrical work was carried out to standard and by an electrician who is registered to do such work. There are new regulations governing electrical installations in kitchens and bathrooms. I think you will find that you do need an isolation swithch for a cooker. We need one for an extractor fan.
As an ex contruction worker the answer is YES call the company back to install one or get another company to do it dont do it yourself it has to be a qualified electrician
Good answers!
